How a Twitter Mob Destroyed a Young Immigrant Female Author's budding career

6. Holy crap. These YA Twitter feuds are fascinating

And the wars usually seem to start with a nasty Goodreads review.

As a published author, I make it a point NEVER to read Goodreads reviews. Most of my writer colleagues feel the same way. We've learned to just ignore them, because there are too many mentally unstable people who are triggered by ridiculous things and who then mount a campaign against Author X because of, well, social justice!

But when you're a debut author like these recent targets, I guess you can't help but read reviews. I'm so glad I started my career back before online review sites were born.
