Actually, if you read further down, she actually starts arguing with her critics in the comments, and there's an interesting exchange where she says, "anyone who criticises me is clearly just a dummy who signed up to Vine to get free shit and doesn't have the CREDENTIALS to be a REAL book reviewer," and someone calls her on that by linking to a review of a professional book reviewer who also hated the book, and she says "fine, I'll accept that, because *that* person is a REAL critic." So apparently she *does* have the ability to accept criticism... just not from ordinary members of the public. Only official, credentialed arbiters of taste have the right to criticise her book.
