Ah, I vaguely remember the drama surrounding this book. I meant to read it and just never got around to it. Wasn't there some other similar drama floating around that actually made the author (a different one) withdraw their book so they could fix the problematic bits?

I know what you're referencing but I forget the name of it. But no one knew what the actual "problematic bits" were because THE BOOK HADN'T EVEN COME OUT YET. IIRC it was because slavery was a theme in the book and people took that and ran with it calling the author racist (she was Chinese, raised in France if I remember) because only racists would write about slavery (the slavery wasn't racially motivated from what I understand and was, again, if I'm remembering correctly based more the author's knowledge of modern slavery or something.) But I think she eventually decided to fuck the haters and published it anyway. I don't even know if the book referenced in the secret is hers or not but I remember the cover art being different.
