How to Get Real and Honest Amazon KDP Reviews (Without Paid Reviews)

Hey 👋
I’m a software developer and I publish self-help and mindfulness books on Amazon KDP.
Like many authors in this space, I ran into the same issue:
How do you get honest Amazon book reviews without paying for fake reviews or breaking Amazon’s rules?
So I built a small side project to solve exactly that:
👉 https://getbookreviews.org
📚 What is GetBookReviews?

Self-help, mindfulness, and personal development books
