It's not that deep, Madeline. Let indie authors promote their book. The intent for the five stars was just for other readers to read the message. As for skewing ratings, I highly doubt anyone thought that an author being proud of their work would feel 'classless.' There's truly no need to be so harsh because of a mere difference of opinion. But I also noticed you rated the book 1 star without even attempting to read it since you mentioned it was on your tbr? Anyway, kind of hypocritical but who are we to judge. Have a good day and be kind to people on the internet. Hope that helps. x
Hey Madeline, Goodreads’ review policies clearly state that an author can review their own book. It’s a widely accepted practice. Your review holds no value to potential readers, and it’s deplorable that you made an effort to negatively influence potential readers of a hardworking indie author with a 1 star review of a book you haven’t even read. Your review has been reported 🚫
Hey, Miss Cleveland is this young adult? The tags don’t say.

No worries at all, Madeline. <3 I wanted to write a message for my readers, and since I've seen other authors do it this way, I thought leaving a review on my book would be a great way to get the message visible. Regardless, I think it's okay for authors to be proud of the books they've worked really hard to put out there. It takes a lot of guts to believe in yourself, and I hope someday you understand the importance of believing in your own work. All the best.
