The pictures and names of the products she ‘reviewed’ or is ‘reviewing’ will probably make it easy to identify her.


She's an Amazon cardholder with a volume of purchases probably in some high percentile, probably an abnormally high review rate along likely near-exclusive 5-star ratings. Geographic clues aren't as narrow, since you can pretty much only rule out the far South where trees don't lose their leaves in fall. However when taking the above into account, I suppose you could filter the resulting addresses even further with map data as her house appears to be at the junction of a T-intersection. Article also mentioned an upstairs neighbor so her address might have a unit number as well.

All said and done, identifying her doesn't sound like an impossible task for a motivated person with access to the necessary data on Amazon's end. And that's before even cross-referencing with specific items shown in the photos.
