Ever gotten a review so bizarre it made you wonder if the reviewer actually read your book?

Join Sue and Donna, as we share our most memorable reader reviews—from the heartwarming ones that kept us writing to the absolutely baffling feedback that left us speechless. Like the time a reviewer told Donna she needed a lobotomy. Yes, really.

In this episode:

• The reviews that made our day and reminded us why we write

• Head-scratching feedback that had us rereading our own books

• How to handle criticism (even the lobotomy-level kind) without losing your mind

• What bizarre reviews actually reveal about reader expectations

• The fine line between constructive criticism and… whatever that was

Whether you're an indie author dreading your next one-star review or just curious about the wild world of reader feedback, this conversation will make you feel less alone in the publishing trenches.
