It was well written, but the story felt slightly like a “but wait there’s more” feel. I’m glad it worked out for Eddie & Sarah in the end, but also at the beginning she just sounds annoying and desperate. In some ways, it’s relatable though. I’m sure a lot of us have felt that way, but it’s frustrating when you want to tell the character in the book to get her shit together and move on.

Loved the premise of this book but the beginning was so slow that I almost had to put it down. I liked the middle, the end felt rushed somehow.

Excellent book by Rosie Walsh. There was a mystery to be solved, but on the way to one of the reveals,we have Sarah lost in her reverie about a week with Eddie. She knows that they had something but he has "ghosted" her, or so her friends tell her. Sarah re-hashes the week she spent with Eddie in much the same way any woman would - vacillating between having felt a genuine connection, and doubting what she thought they both felt.
Told from first person, I was engaged in Sarah's anxiety and longing for Eddie, and never felt that she was a stalker. A turn in the story 2/3 of the way through meant a reading sprint to the conclusion.
I love when a book draws me in to the characters and pulls me back to sit and read!

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.
