The Summer We Lost Her by Tish Cohen
5.0
Thank you to Gallery Books for sending me an advance copy in exchange for an honest review.
I LOVED this book so much. I might be biased as I grew up going to the Adirondacks specifically Lake Placid my whole childhood, and this book brought me right back to ADK. The setting was very atmospheric and would be a great book to read in the winter.
The story is wonderful as well. There was a lot happening but it was done very well where I wasn't overwhelmed but instead felt like it added depth to these characters. While this is technically a story about a missing child, I would categorize it more as a family story about loss and love.
Speaking of love...I really loved Elise and her perspective. I appreciated that it was written in the third point of view to get a little distance from multiple intense themes/plots. Especially her husband and the blame they placed on themselves.
I just don't know how much more I can gush! I will definitely be re-reading this one!
