My Book Just Became a Bestseller on Amazon, But I Wish It Didn't...

Everyone dreams of writing a book and making it a bestseller on Amazon. But when I launched my book 'Gossip' last week I had no expectations.

Who will read a book about broken relationships? I thought. Anyway, I went ahead and published it on Amazon.

Today, a friend called me up and said 'I noticed your book is on the bestseller list of two categories on Amazon!'

I didn't take his words seriously, so I went on Amazon and took a look myself. Here is what I saw:

My friend was right. The book was No.2 in Parenting and Relationships and No. 5 in Family Relationships.

Initially I was excited, but then I realized with a sinking heart that the book was doing well because a lot of people who were struggling with their relationships were downloading and reading the book. That was not a happy thought.

I wish the book hadn't made it.
