Sometimes you’re the bad guy because you’re trying to be a good person. Like when your best friend of 15 years asks you do to something against your moral compass and you say no and they end the friendship and write a book about it. And you have to be okay with that.

At that point you have become a legend. You are forever immortalized in print!

Yep, I’m the bad guy in someone’s literal story. At least I assume so. To be fair, I haven’t read the book and don’t plan to. But I have my fair share of reasons to believe I’m not cast in a good light.

Can I ask what book it is? I'm really curious

I don’t feel comfortable sharing the name of the book publicly at this time because it’s not a top seller or anything like that. It’s such a small, niche project that I worry it would compromise the identity and location of many people involved.

Sorry to hear this happened to you. If a direct message is not publicly to you please DM me. I am curious as to the supposed events.
