I still remember a one-star review my first novel got on Goodreads. It simply said, "The problem with this book is that it's bad."
At least I think that's what it said. I haven't looked at it since I saw it, slammed my laptop shut, and yelped out a laugh. I mean, it was objectively funny - a staccato declaration that couldn't help but incite admiration even though the person on the other end of the keyboard did not like my work.
