Hey Robyn Harding, you can add me to your Anti-Haters club! 🙋🏻‍♀️ Because trust me when I say there was nothing to hate about this book- except for the fact that my anxiety was a little high and I was on the edge of my seat, because EVERYONE was a suspicious and suspected hater in this story!

Camryn Lane, a high school counselor, finally publishes her first novel. It’s a dream come true for Camryn, and all her friends and family are happy for her it seems. The public is even loving this debut novel “Burnt Orchid”, until she receives the nasty one star review. Prior to this nasty one-star review from an I.W., Camryn received a nasty email from an Ingrid Wandry, telling her that she stole her students stories and wrote a book. Camryn knows this is nonsense, but the public is going along with all the negative reviews and misinformation about Camryn Lane.

Instead of celebrating the success of her debut novel, Camryn is being harassed and stalked online. All her personal relationships are being ruined. How will she ever find this Ingrid Wandry and make this harassment stop?

After her personal life is falling apart, Camryn starts to wonder if there is anyone in her circle that she can even trust? Was her best friend happy for her that she finally became a successful author? Or her much younger boyfriend? Or even her own family members? Camryn soon starts to isolate herself, and realizes that she doesn’t have anyone to support her.
Is she really crazy and manipulative like everyone is painting her out to be? Or can she bring the haters down?

This book added a nice little extra touch with excerpts from Camryn’s novel “Burnt Orchid” throughout the story. This story also showed the personal effects of trauma perfectly, as it is very hard not to react to the haters out there. I highly recommend reading this book!!

Thank you, Cindy!! This book is a great conversational piece as I could relate to much of what Camryn went through- although I never published a book. But I do know what it’s like not being able to trust anybody.
