Meghan Markle’s new book is already getting panned before publication — with online critics accusing it of looking like a rip-off of another work already available in stores.
“Before you run out and waste money on the book by Harry’s wife, read ‘The Boy on the Bench’ by Corrinne Averiss and Gabriel Alborozo … The original,” one of the Twitter users of the apparent likeness.
The book was compared with a book called The Boy on the Bench by children’s author Corrinne Averiss, which is also about a father-son relationship. However, Corinne has spoken out about the comparisons, saying on Wednesday that she didn’t think there was any connection to her work.
Taking to her Twitter account, the British author wrote: “Reading the description and published excerpt of the Duchess’s new book, this is not the same story or the same theme as The Boy on the Bench. I don’t see any similarities.”
