Just found out our book club's most hated novel sold over 2 million copies

I was looking up sales numbers for 'The Golden Vessel' after our group tore it apart last month, and the data showed it moved 2.3 million copies. I mean, we all thought it was a total flop, but those are huge numbers. Does a book's commercial success ever change how you feel about its actual quality?

My friend was so mad about a bestseller last year, called it trash writing. Then she saw it was number one everywhere for months. She still hates the plot, but now she gets quiet when people bring it up, like maybe she missed something everyone else saw. It's weird how the sales numbers got in her head.
