It’s an interesting question. More interesting is Lauren’s response to the negative reviews:

[O]ne great lesson from the Amazon Review Onslaught is that I’ve stopped caring so much what other people think, because once the fifteenth person has told you your book is “so boring” and misspelled both the words “boring” and “so,” you start to realize that not everybody shares your taste or your sensibilities (or your orthography). You also realize that this is fine. I have different taste than some of the people I trust the most in the world…
