My god this wasn’t the book I planned to start 2023 with, but I’m glad it’s over with because I had a hard time enjoying this. Some of the more serious parts revolving her dad’s dementia and her grief of growing up were well-written, but everything else felt so pompous. I get it’s supposed to be satirical and making social commentary, but this wasn’t vibing for me. I was definitely not the I tended audience for this book. 🤷🏼‍♀️

I really liked this, a relatable tale of white womanhood, with unlikeable male characters and the usual “female friendship reigns supreme” moral.

My 2022 reading trend is finding books about women living in London (or, at least, part of the time) and realizing they don't need a relationship (man) to be happy. I relate and I love it. GHOSTS is a true gem.
