'A Million Lives' shattered: This fantasy ball was just dubbed the Fyre Festival of BookTok-and authors are furious

Originally marketed as an extravagant event, social media videos revealed a sparsely populated venue where vendors felt abandoned. Author Perci Jay, who traveled from Texas and made personal plans around the festival, shared her regrets while highlighting financial losses incurred due to sponsorship fees and expenses, leading many to question the event's integrity.

Despite the expectation of a massive turnout, many authors were left disappointed as the event came nowhere near its promised grandeur.
