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. Whether you like what she did or not, she's hit on something human, and all the debate just demonstrates the validity of her piece.
Gergana No, I have not written a book (yet). No, I'm not a novelist. But what Hale did was NOT OK. I know what it's like to get hate for something you've done…moreNo, I have not written a book (yet). No, I'm not a novelist. But what Hale did was NOT OK. I know what it's like to get hate for something you've done, but that's not an excuse to stalk someone or go to their house or find their phone number. What's worse is that she had the courage to publish it. In "The Guardian". However, what I'm wondering is: What did she expect by publishing this story? Did she expect pity or sympathy? Were we supposed to be all "Oh my God! She got a bad review. Poor thing!"?(less)
