Description:
It was the perfect love story… until he disappeared.
Imagine you meet a man, spend seven glorious days together, and fall in love. And it’s mutual: you’ve never been so certain of anything in your life. So when he leaves for a long-booked holiday and promises to call from the airport, you have no cause to doubt him.
But he doesn’t call. And he doesn’t call. And he doesn’t call.
Your friends tell you to forget him, but you know they’re wrong – something must have happened – there’s got to be a reason for his silence.
What do you do when you finally discover you’re right? That there is a reason – and that reason is the one thing you didn’t share with each other? The truth.
If you’ve ever found yourself waiting for a call that didn’t come, Ghosted by Rosie Walsh is the book for you.
My View:
What a fantastic read! This narrative confused me a little (in a good way) from the glorious cover art to the back page synopsis I thought I was getting a run of the mill romance; something light, something that doesn’t require too much concentration or attention, something…middle of the road. How wrong was I?
A mash up of mystery, life lit and a coming of age story, this book has it all. Beautifully written, engaging…and the twists…this one belongs on my favourite reads of 2018 list.
PS This would make a fab film!
