Suicide Squad promotion and author reaction

See main article: Suicide Squad (2016 film). Molly O'Keefe received notice in 2016 when one of their books, Between the Sheets, was featured in the second trailer and the ending scene of the 2016 film Suicide Squad,[1] being read by the character Harley Quinn. On August 26, 2016, O'Keefe published an article on Bustle.com, revealing that she had nothing to do with her book appearing in the film, saying that:

"the insulting and ridiculous stereotype of the passive, unhappy, unsatisfied woman who reads romance novels (which has always been bullshit) is utterly obliterated as Harley Quinn sips her tea and turns a page."
