A publishing house has pulled a forthcoming series by romance novelist Sophie Lark after social media users took issue with snippets from the first upcoming book that praise Elon Musk and perpetuate racist stereotypes.
Sparrow and Vine, published by Bloom Books, was set to be released in April, but the book — as well as the series it’s a part of — have been withdrawn in the wake of the backlash, the publisher confirmed to The Independent Tuesday.
