So subjective!! Just like on Goodreads where one person will say “I hate how author (insert anything here)” and the very next review goes on about how much someone loves that same thing. Thank you for sharing this!!
I know. I heard an author once say that they love one star and five star reviews and hate three stars because then the reader just felt 'meh.' It's always good to remember that it's a great thing to have feelings about books, for better or worse.
You’re the most transparent author I follow on Substack. That takes tons of courage. Congrats on Beauty Queen! My AUTOGRAPHED COPY is next on my reading list :) 🙏
I wish I had seen this earlier! I'm normally thick-skinned, but I can't even stand to see my rejections. I might get a tidbit verbally from my agent, but even that can really bother me. And sometimes I don't think it's helpful.

Woop woop!! You are so great, Kevin. I was bragging on your book to my husband the other day. We'll be some of your first readers.
I really appreciate that, Kristen. I'll be sending it to you all as soon as it's ready!

Just Wow. Now I want to read this book! Heartbreaking rejections- so close.
Love this! These mirror the notes I get on pretty much every script I’ve sold (or not sold) 😂 No one agrees and it’s totally subjective
