I won't claim to be an expert on the book publishing industry, but this opening statement of a Goodreads review strikes me as very unlikely?

(I know selfpub stuff can have a quick turnaround, but this is a novella that had a limited hardback edition and was from a medium-sized publisher that uses a Big 5 distributor.)

@ErsatzCulture Not quite the same circumstances, but I announced my book deal around July, 2024 and the book came out this past Tuesday. (And I had a full manuscript for my agent to shop around)
