God of the Woods by Liz Moore: An In-Depth Chat with Your Book Besties

Your book besties are back with a deep dive into God of the Woods by Liz Moore- a twisty mystery packed with old money drama, missing children, and a whole lot of questionable family dynamics. In this episode, Kat and Amanda break down the layered story set around a summer camp for the ultra-wealthy, where the daughter of the family who owns the land disappears… echoing the earlier disappearance of her brother years before. With multiple timelines, multiple narrators, and plenty of secrets hiding beneath the surface, this one definitely kept us thinking. We talk about the many POVs, the shifting timelines, and why this book feels like solving a puzzle while you read. We also discuss the characters we loved, the characters we loved to hate (looking at you, Van Laar family), and which storyline ended up being our favorite. And yes, we absolutely get into the messy family dynamics, the class divide between the camp owners and the town, and the themes around power, privilege, and who gets away with what. Along the way we also chat about: The joys of a Silent Book Club and how we stumbled across this book Audiobook vs. physical reading experiences Our current reading stats and why Kat has given zero five-star ratings this year Why multiple POV mysteries can either totally work… or totally lose readers If you enjoy character-driven mysteries with lots of moving pieces and a story that slowly reveals its secrets, this one might be worth adding to your TBR.
