My SIL published by Penguin Random House. While numbers say different, I still get the feeling no one has read her book.

Don’t worry about it. This family member sounds interesting and energetic. Be thankful. No one reads anymore. Plus, if the do read the obscure book,you have things to talk about!

What does Goodreads say?

I think this PP makes a really good point. You should read it.

For example, if the book implies I'm an alcoholic and people start looking at me funny when have a glass of wine at a party, then at least I would understand why.

Isn't that slander/libel?
