Honored to have written this profile on Taylor Casey -- a Chicago woman missing in the Bahamas. Casey was last seen exactly one month ago, on June 19.

JD Vance's "Hillbilly Elegy" is so popular after his VP bid that Goodreads has temporarily restricted ratings & reviews, stating possible "unusual behavior that doesn’t follow our review guidelines."

A rep for Goodreads would not comment on the specific activity detected.

Flagged to team that Goodreads is currently restricting actions on JD Vance's "Hillbilly Elegy" across their platforms. Got my first CNN Biz contrib byline under CNN entertainment correspondent @EWagmeister! Being a bookworm pays off.

If someone could only ever read one of my articles, I would want it to be this one.
