In this episode of Junk and Disorderly, I reflect on the early days after my first book was published and how I made the mistake of obsessing over reviews. One particular one-star review stood out—not for its kindness, let’s just say.

Let’s just say it’s a story of despair, revenge, and macaroni art.
