A Goodreads user asked this question about No One Else Can Have You (No One Else Can Have You, #1):
To all here who are "outraged" by Hale's behavior - go write a f*ing book for the next 3 years of your life. Then come read your reviews. Note: I am NOT a novelist. But I am a writer, and part of the job is to explore the dark sh*t that everyone else glosses over. It literally is the job.

So you are saying that if you went to the movies and sat through, what you deemed was a horrible movie... (for argument sake lets say "Gigli", (dated reference I know but go with me for a minute)), you decide to leave a unfavorable (or even downright mean) review on Yahoo of said movie, that Ben Afleck or Jennifer Lopez has a right to stalk you online, approach other in an attempt to gather personal information about you, track down your information, show up on your doorstep, look through your car window and call you at work? Because they didn't like your opinion? Uh uh... I don't know any of the parties involved but this author pulled that on the right person. Some people would have reacted quite differently if it happened to them. IJS.

I'm no writer, but I am a reader and when an creator releases something for public consumption they have to take the good with the bad. To use your words THIS IS A JOB... employees at McDonald's don't generally stalk customers just because they receive complaints that the fries are cold. (less)
