It's not necessary YA Romance but the Genre of Young Adult Fiction where the drama has been most noticeable. It's escalated to where someone has put up a site called Stop GR bullies and posted personal information of reviewers who they don't like from Goodreads. One reviewer even claims she received a personal call from someone tell her they knew who she was. Now that is just scary! I really don't think the site is run by authors as they claim but I think it's gone too far and something needs to be done.

Goodreads is the only one who can do anything to stop this as it's their site but they can no longer turn a blind eye on this.
