Is this author's husband trashing her novel on Goodreads? Maybe, but there's a bigger problem here.

Well, that technically isn't the smoking gun that it's the husband...a random commenter saying that she sounds like that type of person, when she literally did, is an unusually accurate perception, possible too much to be without actually knowing she did...but still isn't 100%. 😅 She IS, so she actually might just sound like that enough for a random person to say that? The smoking gun would be if the person saying that was proved to be her husband.

Oh, there are a TON of book/author related AITA stories. I know one was where this OP got angry that their friend who wrote romance had sold a bunch of books? Like, she said it wasn't "real" writing. There was this case of this teenage boy writing a book and self publishing it, I think. His father or uncle or something gave it a low rating because the book wasn't a genre he liked. There was the guy who wanted to know his girlfriend's fake name that she wrote her erotic stories under. He wanted an apology from her and for her to send him her name so he could find her books. Those are just some examples. I think people write them specifically to get people angry enough to where they fight each other in the comments section. lol.

See this is my issue. Women are regularly killed and abused by men to the point in the US we have an internationally noted problem with femicide but if you don’t want to be seen as paranoid, you can’t say anything when you start seeing signs something is off. Then once it’s too late somebody says why didn’t you see all the red flags and run. It’s not new that men abuse, cheat on, stalk, psychologically abuse, harass, and even kill women. So I don’t know that this is true but I know we live under patriarchy and I’d like some balanced acknowledgment of we just don’t know enough before she’s a paranoid woman with a superiority complex. She’s obviously angry so yes she dissed him. I might diss someone too if I thought they were taking out some personal failures on me and my career launch. Men have superiority complex built in and it’s all over the book community but it’s not called out as much as it’s agreed with even by women. I would even venture to wonder what he has done and said to make her this nervous about him and what about those reviews put her in the mind of his writing, as a writer, I imagine she knows how to tell when something is at least likely written by the same person even if they use multiple accounts. If men can kill women with HIV on purpose, this isn’t the oddest thing I can conceive of. And if it is just someone worrying too much, I still think it’s a sign something is off in that relationship that trust and security aren’t a norm. They might need counseling. Who knows

I don't know if it's real or fake but as someone with experience in having an emotionally abusive relationship the LAST people to know were people that knew both me and my ex because in a weird way that makes it "Real" and then there's no taking it back either you have to leave or feel judged for staying which logically isn't what happens but in situations like that it feels like it. So that's why someone would likely tell strangers on the internet because it's a void. No one cares past a click.

Because even other women will call us unhinged and lay the blame at our feet, even if they believe the story is true.

this is all assuming the initial letter is real, because its very possible that it isn't: WHY does she suspect her husband? as you mentioned, i expected the letter to expand at least a little bit on what he's done to cast suspicion on him, things he's said or ways his behavior has change, because "my husband is a constant figure of support in my writing career" to "i think my husband is leaving hordes of negative reviews on burner accounts" is a huge leap to make. but there's no explanation of her suspicions. when the letter-writer brought up that she's snooped in his computer before and that obviously made him upset, i then expected her to expand on why she was doing so in the first place and what that resulted in; does he actually have a history of duplicitous behavior or was your earlier invasion of privacy completely unfounded? because if your earlier invasion of privacy was ultimately for nothing and your current suspicions have no basis, it kinda sounds like you have major trust issues and you need to actually TALK to your husband and probably also a therapist about what's causing this seemingly unfounded but also seemingly constant belief that your husband is out to get you, like... assuming the letter isn't real: the cut should take these things into account next time they want to concoct a fake story like this :-/ more details might make it more realistic

If you get time, I think you might like The Invisible Library series by Genevieve Cogman. It follows Irene, a very capable book thief who steals unique books from multiple worlds, aided by her *ahem* very attractive *ahem* understudy, Kai. If you enjoy badass women who are witty, adventurous and genre-savvy, please consider giving the first book a go!)

I absolutely LOVE your videos, but this time 'round, the 1st thing my eyes landed on was the Kuromi plushie behind you 🥹 I'm practically OBSESSED with Kuromi, and it sucks that I can't find anything themed after it here in India, but I went completely 😍 when I saw that plushie. I know it's totally random, but eh, I love what I love 😂✌🏼

Also, I do not know whether in the US it is also illegal, but at least in my country, spying on your partner's computer without their permission is illegal. It is an abusing and controlling behaviour. If you can no longer trust your partner, just leave/divorce them. Trust is the most fundamental block of a healthy relationship. If you are a point in which you "need" to check your partner's devices without their permission, just leave: If you were right, you are going to leave anyway, and if you are wrong, you aren't deserving of the trust that you have just betrayed.

The therapist/writer* (that always comments late) I think you said everything I would as a professional, Cindy! *If this is real*: Being a writer puts anyone in a vulnerable place. But, once things have reached this point & you don't trust your partner you need to step away and talk your partner and get some help if you can't. No matter what the other details are. Usually people who've gotten to this point have a hard time doing so. *I can see wanting to snoop If and only if* her partner is a gaslighting narcissist & has made her feel like she was delusional when she was rightfully suspicious in other things. But, if that's the case and she thinks he's capable of this and she can't communicate with him it's probably time to leave or set other boundaries. *But, I think you're right and this isn't real, and I also really appreciate you talking about the other article and wealth.*

I gotta say your advice was pretty solid, I feel like women we are encourage to snoop and have evidence to back our reasoning. But why is that? It's because you may been gaslighted in past and you need that proof.

A+ boss move segue into the promo, I love it, no notes. Yeah, the advice column letter response was WILD (I mean, I kind of am not surprised given some of Emily Gould's recent writing...). And YUP, if you are the writer who thinks one's spouse is undermining, you'd definitely be telling your group chat. Maybe your literary agent? Because if one got a couple of awards, etc., one probably has an agent. The initial Dear Emily letter feels so wordsmithed.

Well said. If this even happened, the issue runs a lot deeper than just bad reviews. But regardless, the toxicity in all of this - including the practice of consuming abusive behavior for entertainment - is why I try to stay away from this kind of stuff. I don’t want to help make articles like that profitable. That being said, I also believe that having healthy, constructive conversations about this is really important. That’s how we prevent more situations like this.

That advice columnist was so over the top with her "advice" like- How is it professional to tell someone to *not* hire a PI because destroying the trust your relationship is built on is easier and cheaper?? Anyway i was suspending my disbelief through the letter but the response was actually what made me think it was fake- obviously they were playing it up and overexxagerating Also *oof* imagine casually saying that your husband will never be as successful as you, thats gotta hurt, what happened to mutual support?? I have more faith in my writer bestie's *future* yet to be written book than this lady has in her husband
