Realistic viewpoint of how racism is so intrinsic, that people may not even think that they are being racist. Held my attention.

I liked this book OK at the end, but struggled with it for a while. The main character wasn't likeable—although, that's maybe kind of the point?—and the plot was choppy and disconnected. Sales did make some good points, however, about Internet culture.

I didn't know this book needed to exist until I started reading it. But from the first chapter, I recognized that this was a game changer just like the internet and our online communities have been game changers. This is the book everyone needs to read. It's a welcome warning for all parties. It shows us the problems of both sides: recognize that you don't know where your words may lead you in the public space of the internet. AND recognize that behind every comment you want to use an example of whatever is the problem with it sits a person who may not actually be a horrible human being but just didn't think before they said what they said.
"I think the moral is that we can do bad things and not be bad people. That we can make mistakes and do better next time."

Disclaimer: I received a free copy of this book and chose to review it. This in no way impacts my opinion.
I have a lot of thoughts on this one but I need time to write them down and edit them. I think this could have been a good book because I like the idea of it but the execution wasn't good. It felt like a book from a white person to make other white people feel better about themselves and I'm not here for that. Full review will be up on Books and Ladders!

This book came to me in a time in my life where I too felt like my life was falling apart and that there wasn't a meaning to anything. I wasn't publicly shamed, but it was comforting to read and see how each of the members of the improvement group dealt with their own short comings. I loved the way she ended up apologizing in the end, and I think Sales makes some really good point about what it means to be online - and how disingenuous it is.
I was also stunned to find that this book was inspired by Jon Ronson's book, "So You've Been Publicly Shamed", which was one of the books I was reading at the same time. I can see the inspiration from the true events depicted in the characterization in Sales' book.

How does stuff like this even get published?
I haven't disliked a book this much in a long time, and I absolutely don't recommend it to anyone.
One of the biggest faults for me is that it's really, really boring. One redeeming factor is that it dives right into the "action" in that it begins with Winter tweeting a racist comment. However, this relatively not-that-exciting plot point (in the sense that it's just some girl posting a message online) is actually one of the more exciting parts. There isn't really a plot. Winter makes the Tweet, everyone hates her, and then she goes to a super boring rehabilitation center to try to be a better person. The pacing is weird, you don't come to care about any of the characters, the setting isn't really described, and Winter never grows or becomes better. Awful.
I do really like the premise of the story and think it has a lot of potential.
However, I think the moral implications of this book are AWFUL. I don't know how this was green lit??
Winter NEVER takes full responsibility for making an offensive, racist Tweet. The slap in the face is that in the end
WHY does she go to an expensive white Malibu rehab facility to "become a better person?" WHY doesn't she do ANYTHING related to racism or becoming less racist? It is so insulting that all she cares about in the end and all she dedicates herself to is helping people who get piled up on on the internet and not people who are the victims of racism.
I think it's super crappy that the author chose the action she did--Winter Tweeting that she is surprised a black person won the national spelling bee--because there's absolutely no nuance to whether the Tweet is racist or not, but it's also a small thing that doesn't directly hurt anyone, so it's hard to get super up in arms or offended as a reader. I think the reader SHOULD have been greatly offended by Winter's actions, like the feeling of reading all those news articles of white people calling the police on a black family barbecuing outside, or a white woman telling a black person he doesn't live in the house next to hers and that she knows "who lives there" (spoiler: it was him), or the white man who called the police on a Latino man in the parking garage of the building they both lived in, or the white "CEO" who said racial slurs to an Asian family, etc. etc. forever. These are real events that happen regularly and incite people who hear about them, so why something so passive for this story?
The story could also be a lot better if the initial racist action was more nuanced (e.g. I just finished Such a Fun Age, where there's a great example of an ambiguously racist action by one of the main characters). The author deliberately chose something pretty passive and forgettable, and I feel like it serves only to make the reader not really question how racist and hurtful Winter and people like Winter actually are.
And the moral of the story should NOT be that people get unfairly piled up on the Internet. Winter should NOT be happy that she is a role model for other people who do something racist, or happy to be a role model for anyone for that matter. Winter should have worked to redeem herself by working to help the community she wronged, and she never even thinks to do this yet still emerges as a "positive" character. The implications of this book are super disturbing. So when we keep seeing news reports of people who aren't white in America being wronged due to their ethnicities, are we supposed to be super understanding, polite, and respectful to the people who wronged them? Not alienate friends who do racist things?
What messages is this book sending exactly?

I don't know. I just don't know.
If this book wasn't centred around a racist comment, if it was just about online backlash and the age of trial by social media, I think it would be great. If Winter had taken any responsibility at any point, it would have been better. If it hadn't ended with Winter ultimately profiting off of individual and institutional racism, it would have been better. If it hadn't ended by sympathising with a homophobic d*ckhead, it would have been better.
As it is, it didn't do any of those things, so... I don't know, and it's not my position to give this book credit. I'll leave it there.

**UPDATE MARCH 11 2018**
Wow, okay, sorry for bringing this ranty review back onto your feed, but I’ve been giving this book a lot of thought lately and I feel like, now that it’s been awhile since I read it, I need to rearrange my thoughts and criticisms in a more constructive way. To be honest, what has really stood out to me after a bit of thinking, is a major thematic issue in this book (among many): this novel claims to be an observation and critique of “callout culture.”
This book makes the collective Internet (and a good half of the characters of color) the enemy in this story. And though I’m definitely not saying that call-out culture on the internet is perfect, I wish that this book had actually acknowledged the parts of callout culture that are real issues. Mainly, racism and homophobia.
While Marvel fans were calling for a boycott of Black Panther over literally one thing Chadwick Boseman said a year ago, they excuse the constant homophobia/racism/transphobia/slut-shaming of Benedict Cumberbatch, ScarJo, and Mark Ruffalo (I would provide links but honestly?? there is way too much to fit in one review. Google it if you don't believe me lmao).
While people were (and are!) calling for a boycott of Love, Simon because Becky Abertalli is straight, they’re lifting up and publicizing freaking Call Me By Your Name, which is literally a romanticized story of a pedophilic relationship (written by a straight man,,, and also directed by a straight man,,,, and acted by straight guys,,, unlike Love, Simon which has a gay director and an out mlm in the cast).
I would have enjoyed an observation of problems like these. Instead, I got this s***. People calling someone out for saying copious amounts of racist stuff =/= bad or unfair. People ruining someone’s life for literally outing closeted gay men by asking them on fake dates and publishing about it in an online magazine =/= bad or unfair.
My issue isn’t with the idea that this book criticizes call out culture, it’s that its reasons are in the completely wrong place. We should be talking about the ACTUAL victims of call-out culture, not the privileged a-holes who get whiny when they can’t be bigots in peace.

Original Review:
Disclaimer: I am white. All my opinions of this book are coming from my white perspective.
Do you ever read something so atrociously god-awful that when you finish it, all you can do is just sit there, stare at your kindle, and think what the hell. WhatthehellwhatthehellWHATTHEHELL and how in the name of all that is good in the world did this book ever get published? how did this not get thrown immediately in the bin of every publishing agency it got sent to?
I try not to swear often, but if any book deserves to be cussed out like a sailor, it’s If You Don’t Have Anything Nice to Say.
Guess what?? I have N O T H I N G nice to say about this book. ;)))))
I definitely am opposed to burning books, but if anyone ever asked me, “if you could choose one book and you HAD to burn every copy of it that exists, which would you choose?” I would know immediately which book I’d pick. I’d strike the match and this novel would be done for. Goodbye forever. If the entire world were destroyed and the only reading material left was this story, I would never read again. My kindle feels dirty now. I don’t want this thing anywhere near me.
If You Don’t Have Anything Nice to Say fulfills the wet dream of every person who has unironically said they’re anti-PC, anti-SJW, anti-anti, or anti-whatever else conservatives are calling people that don’t put up with bigotry nowadays. God forbid people, like, call others out for saying racist stuff on the Internet. GOD FORBID there’s actually, like, consequences for the stuff you say. God freaking forbid.
I requested this book without reading the blurb. I saw that the cover was in the same palette as the bi pride flag and assumed that it was a story about a bi girl. It wasn’t.
Instead it was an “observation” of “internet-shaming culture” or whatever the frick that means (disclaimer: yes I know what it means, please don’t try to explain it to me. I know).
If You Don’t Have Anything Nice to Say is the story of a white girl named Winter, who won the Scripps National Spelling Bee five years ago. After the spelling bee this year, she makes a racist tweet, goes to bed, and wakes up to realize that the tweet has gone viral, she’s been memed, and everyone hates her. I’m not going to state the tweet in this review because I don’t want to type out the words, but suffice it to say, it was bad. Winter (now deemed “White Winter” by the internet) doesn’t know what she did wrong, and refuses to take the blame for her actions. Her world starts to come down all around her. As the book progresses, she does some more blatantly racist stuff, and has a “character arc” where she realizes that: omg! what she said was racist and gross and wrong! (but she barely realizes this. barely.)
Sounds like a pretty daring story to try to write, and idk maybe it isn’t a book that ever SHOULD be written (why are we giving people like this a voice??) but honestly what gets me really in a bend is the fact that the moral isn’t “don’t be racist” it’s “hey, um, maybe you shouldn’t attack people on the Internet :/ even if they’re saying racist, mean things, that doesn’t mean you should be mean back :///”
Which really freaking sucks!!
Listen, there’s a point in the book where one of the characters describes the Internet as a “lawless land.” And when the people of the Internet decide that someone is bad, they crucify them and they don’t ever get redeemed. But listen, even though that may be one of the iffy parts of the “law of the Internet” or whatever you want to call it, the Internet being a “lawless land” is actually a POSITIVE thing. You wanna know why? Because people can educate. People can be educated. I have learned so much more about the privilege that I have as a white person because of the Internet, but instead of this book making it all about white privilege and coming to terms with it and the good parts of the Internet it decided to go with the “uwu all those SJWs getting mad over everything omg just shut up it’s not a big deal :///” and that’s. bad.
The entire book is full of Winter justifying her racist thoughts and actions with "I'm not that bad of a person!!" and "if you knew me you would know I'm not racist!" here's the deal tho: every white person is racist because every white person has systematic privilege. and Winter actively REFUSES to believe this.
We’re expected to feel pity for this Winter girl, but I don’t. She has done nothing to deserve my pity. She has done nothing to deserve the reader’s pity. I don’t feel an inch of pity. I feel disgust.
Another awful thing about this is, hey!! the 2 (two) characters of color are basically stereotypes to help further the white woman’s narrative. Literally from the first scene with Jason, all his character does is fill the role of “black person helping educate their white friend on racism” stereotype. Corey is just there to fill the “see, not ALL black people are angry about this” role. That’s so awful??? Like jfc write a freaking book.
This book is also full of other characters supporting Winter in her racism, saying "hey, it's not that bad." and that's so annoying to read?? like one character says "'But if I had to say? I think what you did is no worse than what a zillion other people do every day... You made the mistake that so many people make online, of thinking you were just talking to your friends.'" This quote effectively makes it seem like the problem is Winter not realizing that social media isn't private, not that she freaking said that racist stuff in the first place. That's so wrong??
We also get a nice dash of homophobia in here too. There's another a****** character that asked out closeted gay people on a gay dating app, only to write articles and publish them online, outing them to the entire Internet. That's awful, awful, awful, and WINTER WRITES A LETTER TO HIM SAYING SHE FEELS BAD FOR HIM. WHAT THE F***.
And listen, I am usually pretty lenient when it comes to characters saying SOME crappy stuff, as long as it’s part of their character arc, but Winter took being problematic way over the line, has no redeeming qualities, and here’s the deal: if you want readers to appreciate the arc, they character has to secretly be a good person on the inside. Which Winter isn’t. She’s just not. And the things she said at the beginning, middle, and end of this book are I N E X C U S A B L E. I literally don't even care about her character arc. Character arcs are my favorite thing in books but she is such an awful human being for the first ~90% of this that I don't even care. She’s a bad person who said bad things and doesn’t want to freaking take the blame. I hate her and if I had a shelf called “worst main characters” she would be top of the freaking list.
People of color don’t deserve to have to see a book like this, with these opinions, in print. It’s bigotry at it’s worst and I can’t believe it’s being published. This entire concept, everything about this is so backwards-thinking that I’m surprised it wasn’t a thing in 2014. Screw this book. I hate that I read this. I hate it so much.
I was provided an eARC copy through NetGalley in exchange for a complete and honest review. All opinions are taken from an unfinished copy.
