Wow that’s genuinely really sad. She’s got a good job and she’s just bought a home and stuff. What is it about her life that makes her feel so unfulfilled that she needs to BUY followers? I know part of her job is to be active on social media but imagine being that emotionally invested? I actually do feel a bit sorry for her. I think she must try and make her life so busy and look so interesting because she’s lacking somewhere else. Seems to be all about appearance. As long as her life looks good to others, she gets the validation she needs. A bit like her books. As long as she keeps churning them out, she doesn’t care if they’re good or not.
On the topic of her books, I always found the concepts of her books really good but found them to be REALLY poorly executed. I don’t buy them anymore. I read When the Curtain Falls and was FLABBERGASTED that it even got published. It was so so poorly written. I read a lot of books and it’s not often I come across one that makes me genuinely wonder how it got published. - TW rape - She also randomly had her protagonist raped towards the end of the book but it didn’t serve any purpose to the plot or to character development at all, it was just randomly chucked in. Like a lot of other aspects of the book. When you write a story, everything your telling is being told for a reason, because it contributes to the story and either moves it further along or is a sub-plot or serves as character development. She doesn’t seem to understand that. It’s fanfiction writing. In fact, there’s probably much better fanfiction writing out there.
