3.5 rounded up. The first half of the book is slow but I really wanted to know what happened to Eddie so I stick through it and really enjoyed the second half of the book. They are some surprising twists in the story line.

I enjoyed “Ghosted”, it was the perfect mindless poolside read.

Unlike others, I actually liked the first half better than the second. I loved the build up and Sarah’s complete obsession over a seven day fling with Eddie and trying to figure out why he wouldn’t respond to her messages. It was a mystery that could go a lot if different ways.

This book is ultimately about love, family, secrets, and forgiveness.

I was sucked into this book right away and had trouble putting it down. I love the concept of someone tracking down why they were ghosted by someone they were dating and this book did not disappoint. When it switches to Eddie's point of view is when this book loses momentum. I actually did not care for the chapters in Eddie's POV and could have done without. Also, it was a little annoying at times how desperate Rosie was.

Absorbing, pretty prose wraps up a mystery

I really loved the descriptions of how falling in love feels like, it shouldn’t work, having romance and a mystery in one but it does.
