MY RATING: ★★★★☆ (4/5)
REVIEW
This novel turned out to be something completely unexpected, I liked it!
Sarah and Eddie met and spend seven wonderful days together with the promise of seeing each other again, however, after saying goodbye Sarah does not hear from Eddie again. She calls him, texts him, sends him messages on facebook with no response on his part. What happened to Eddie? Well, there’s a backstory which you will find out about if you read the book.
ghost·ing | ˈɡōstiNG/
the practice of ending a personal relationship with someone by suddenly and without explanation withdrawing from all communication.
I don’t know what else to say about the book without giving something away. When I started reading the book all I knew about it is what’s described in the synopsis (which is not much), at the moment I had no idea if this was a thriller, mystery, romance, or what and it turned out to be something completely unexpected that I enjoyed.
The novel is well-crafted and engaging, the characters are likable. Overall, I enjoyed it and recommend it to readers.
I received an ARC from the publisher via Edelweiss
