Unraveling the Cait Corrain Controversy: From Goodreads to Book Deals

A controversy has erupted in the publishing world as over a half-dozen fake Goodreads accounts were found review bombing upcoming authors and books with similar themes, while giving 5-star ratings to fellow debut author Cait Corrain's book. Corrain initially claimed that a friend was responsible for the actions, but many remain unconvinced. The scandal has gone viral on social media platforms such as Twitter, TikTok, and Reddit. The targeted authors include people of color, and some have accused Corrain of orchestrating the review bombing campaign to gain attention for their own book. Corrain's publisher and agent have ended their partnership, and the book has been removed from publishing schedules.
