I am lacking the words to vocalize my anger on these terrible people destroying the internet but I also don't want you to think your subscribers don't care. So please know, I am sitting silently steaming and gesturing in front of my laptop and fully support your anger!

What a miserable cow you have to be if you’re triggered by kids playing and just being happy. The same can be said for the one who left you a review. Honestly, when I leave a negative review on a book, I kind of hope the author doesn’t see it because I don’t want to hurt their feelings and I’d never write something as mean as what she wrote about your book. I guess they don’t have that much going on for them, huh?

Honestly, I can't even imagine caring so much about something on Threads that I'd go out of my way to attempt to sabotage someone over it - especially something so innocuous, that didn't even affect her in any way!

You have every right to ask not to be tagged into negative reviews after all your work to write a WHOLE FLIPPIN BOOK!! I often hear about particular celebrities who say they never, EVER read anything about themselves or reviews [of their movies, stage performances, etc] - I'm sure they're far happier as a result. What does Yolanda think you're going to do, rewrite it just for her...?! #FacePalm

Anyway, you know we love you and your writing. Still waiting for Netflix to snap up the Accidental series... get Max employed as your PR asap, he'll do it for you I'm sure 😉​

“What does Yolanda think you're going to do, rewrite it just for her?”

Exactly! This is one of the reasons feedback’s only really useful *before* the book’s published — once it’s out, there’s literally nothing I can do about it, so it just makes me feel bad without actually accomplishing anything!

You are wonderful! Imaginative, creative and generous. Don't worry about such ridiculous behavior. You make the world a better place.

So does Yolanda actually leave real reviews or has she chalked up over 470 "reviews" just trashing people? I hope she got reprimanded for that, in addition to having the comment removed.

Wondering if the neighbors who keep complaining about the kids in your neighborhood for acting like kids have kids of their own. Because they seem to not understand children at all.

As far as I know, they all have grandchildren who visit them regularly — let’s hope none of them ever want to play with chalk! 🙈
