Brian Yatman asked this question about No One Else Can Have You (No One Else Can Have You, #1):
The comments seem a mite unbalanced. Have you guys actually read the Guardian article? Did the behaviour of the reviewer not strike you as a little "off"? Sure, Kathleen Hale shouldn't have let all this get to her like she did, but there's a real Salem witch-trial vibe to all this that I find disturbing. I found her article thought-provoking and not without self-awareness and a sense of compassion towards her subject.

She's a real person, living her own life, apart from the concerns of some author, whose book she is permitted to review. There was no "catfishing" involved, no invitation to the author to discuss the review, and likewise no invitation to be "friends" (as Hale imagined). Ms. Hale seems to think that they both created the situation in question, and that they could "have a laugh about it." Disgusting.
She may have self-awareness, but she apparently has zero awareness of other people's boundaries.(less)
