The Summer We Lost Her
by Tish Cohen is the story of Matt and Elise Sorenson who spend the summer
fixing up the family cabin for sale as they struggle to keep their lives
together while praising their own career ambitions. Elise Sorenson is an equestrian
with Olympic dreams. Matt is offered a partnership with his law firm. It is
evident that they both are madly in love with each other and they adore their
daughter, Gracie. However, they seem to be slowly growing apart. As they
struggle to find a way to pursue their goals while remaining a family, tragedy strikes,
and Gracie goes missing. Will they find Gracie safe and sound? Will they be
able to bring their lives back together?
The Summer We Lost Her
was a hard book to finish. I didn’t care for the characters especially Elise.
It was hard to sympathize with her as she struggles with her dreams and her
role as wife and mother. The first half was very slow as I was waiting for the
drama of Gracie’s disappearance and the search for her. The second half seemed
way too fast. The resolution to the story was a bit of a letdown and the
overall feel of the story was uneven. At the end, I felt nothing for these
characters: no sadness, no sympathy, no tears. I do not recommend The Summer We Lost Her.
