The Haters
A woman publishes her first novel following years of rejection. At first, she has everything she ever wanted. Then she receives an email full of vile accusations. She is plagued by anxiety. One bad review snowballs into many. As the online hate escalates, Camryn has the sneaking suspicion someone is behind it all. I’m currently so obsessed with the theme “Social Media Hate” so The Haters could not be coming out at a more perfect time.
