Welcome to Litsy!

I expected a fast paced thriller vibe, but this is a slow burn family drama. I loved the Lake Placid setting, and felt the inner complexities of marriage were realistically written. However, I didn‘t connect with any of the characters and found some of the language around disabilities to be ableist and problematic. I enjoyed the story and was invested enough to finish, but overall, this fell flat for me. 2.5⭐️

Loved it! Had to order her other book! 😍🤓🥳

A new to me author, and very engrossing, sucking me in quickly. I very much liked Ms. Cohen's writing. The descriptions of the Adirondacks was often evocative. And I was kept in the dark – I had no idea what happened to Gracie until her parents found out, and I had no idea whether or not Matt and Elise would be able to salvage their marriage.

I received my #santathing secret Santa gift today! Thank you to Abigail for choosing such a great book, and the bookmark has my favorite saying on it!! #blessed

Matt and Elise take their daughter, Gracie, to Lake Placid, NY to get the family cabin ready to sell. What could have been a couple of weeks of great (and necessary) bonding soon takes a turn when Matt‘s first love is living next door, Elise has a career opportunity she shouldn‘t turn down and animals have inhabited the cabin. Then, on Father‘s Day, Gracie disappears. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
