Getting denied for an ARC is incredibly disappointing, you are absolutely allowed to be disappointed, upset, frustrated, annoyed, etc. Those feelings are 100% valid.
What’s not okay though is being nasty and attacking the author, publisher, PA, etc, because you didn’t get approved.
Getting an ARC is a privilege. Most people have to wait until release day to read a book. There is no need for hate in the book community, we’re all here because of our love of reading, let’s please focus on that.
