Swift has long been known as a reader. Her lyrics are packed with literary references, and her favorite books are a crash course in girlhood. So it's unsurprising that she was absorbed by Moore's story about a thirteen-year-old girl who goes missing at summer camp. The peek into Swift's reading life left fans eager for more details. "Someone needs to [find] her good reads account so I can follow it," posted one X user.

A peek at reader reviews reveals that Taylor Swift is hardly the only reader to get swept up in Liz Moore's narrative. Goodreads users rated the book a sky-high 4.11 stars, praising its propulsive plot and genre-blurring form. The story is rich with a sense of place, shaped by Moore's interest in the Appalachian region. It's the perfect edge-of-your-seat mystery to add to your reading list. "This is a great combination of historical fiction, mystery, crime thriller, and women's fiction with multiple perspectives taking us on a tour through time zones, wandering around the minds of very different characters, seeing the world from their points of view," wrote one Goodreads user.

Moore's talent for writing characters with such believable depth likely stems from her childhood. "I had a mother growing up who, if I reported that some kid had mistreated me or had been mean to me, her very first question would be, 'Well, what's their home life like? What's going on at home?" she told The Chicago Review of Books. She explained that it made her habitually empathetic and curious, qualities that infuse her writing as an adult.
