Whats this Im hearing about a coloring book controversy?
One Twitter userdescribed the ideaas beyond tone-deaf and harmful.

By January 11, 2023, Hoover and Atria Books announced the coloring book wouldno longer be moving forward.
I hear you guys and I agree with you.
I have contacted the publisher to let them know I would prefer we dont move forward with it.
Sony
Thank you for the respectful discourse and accountability.
This isnt the first time Hoover has been accused of romanticizing the abusive relationship between Lily and Ryle.

So thats my fault.
The costumes are causing a lot of backlash as well.
Im not worried about it.
I dont remember describing outfits at all, she also said,perToday.I dont care what they have on.
In my head, its about the conversation theyre having and the story.
When production picked back up in January 2024, Livelywas spotted in an eclectic lookthat didnt ease fan concerns.
Now we have another bohemian filming fit to process.
Perhaps the costume department is listening to fan concerns and taking direct action?
Or maybe they were just getting the worst of Lily Blooms wardrobe out of the way?
