The Internet Never Forgets and Apparently Neither Do Writers

A writers group I am a part of have talked a lot about whether, as authors, we should publicly leave negative book reviews on places such as Goodreads or Storygraph, or even criticize a book on TikTok. If those negative reviews might come back to kick us in the a**, perhaps harm a potential relationship with a future collaborator. Obviously you never wanna do what this author did. But is it OK for authors to go on Goodreads and give another author’s book two stars and say they didn't like it?...
