[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What do you say to a friend who has published a romance novel that you think is TERRIBLE? It's published by a respected publisher (like Simon & Schuster, but not S&S). I just can't think of a positive thing to say. I truly love this friend and am in awe that she is a published author, while mothering two little sons, and I've told her so. [/quote] I had the same experience recently, OP. I thought the book was terrible. But, I've kept my mouth shut. I feel sad for people who read the Amazon reviews and think it is going to be good. A lot of those "reviews" are people who know the author or her family personally or they are part of the author's book-writing-publishing circle. Just smile and say "congrats." And don't get into any conversations about the book. [/quote]
