How Elyse Myers’ First Book Turned Into a Total Internet Drama?
After her book came out on October 28, 2025, many of Elyse Myers’ fans excitedly bought That’s a Great Question, I’d Love to Tell You.
She promoted it heavily, which led fans to buy it instantly, and the book landed on The New York Times bestseller list.
But once people began reading, some were not very happy with the book’s story and her writing. On Threads, a reader shared disappointment. One of the posts said;
“Noooo I’m so sad I don’t like this book at all. … It’s not at all like the stories she tells in her videos. I’m on the 5th essay and I think I have to stop reading it. Ugh.”
This is where things exploded. Elyse saw the post and replied publicly. Her response was polite but firm:
“I’m bummed you don’t like it, but not at all offended. Everyone has different tastes in books and that’s okay! Please feel free to return it!”
Her comment triggered a backlash. Many on the internet said she’d violated the unspoken rule of not engaging in “reader spaces,” places like Goodreads, review threads, and social media where readers freely criticize books.
Critics argued that authors should avoid stepping into those spaces because their very presence can influence or intimidate other readers.
Readers expressed disappointment, claiming that her videos and reality were happy and fulfilling, whereas her book failed to capture the spark she had as an influencer.
While things were not so bad when readers openly criticized her book, her reply to fans’ criticisms was what attracted more drama and controversy.
