Great article. Totally agree - books really couldn’t be more subjective and, of course, reviews often say more about the person reviewing than the book itself (I tell myself this when my writing gets panned anyway!)

Congrats on your novels!

DEFINITELY. I also love having strong opinions on things so it's only right that others are allowed to have them too. They're only opinions though, not facts!

Thank you so much for this! This is cathartic and advice to take on board for myself, personally. Thank you.
