Goodreads reviews of JD Vance’s ‘Hillbilly Elegy’ are stuck in limbo amid news that Trump picked the author to be his VP

Vance, a onetime fierce critic of Trump, is a relative newcomer to politics, having been sworn in less than two years ago. But Vance’s name isn’t exactly unknown. It’s just that most of his recognition had previously come from the literary world.
