Ghosts by Dolly Alderton
3.0

This is a charming book with the potential to completely devastate you. We follow Nina Dean, a food writer who's fed up with the dating scene, as she navigates online dating, friendships, and her father's deteriorating health. The story isn't a fairy tale by any means and reads more like a story your friend would tell you over drinks. That realism is refreshing and subverts your typical romcom expectations, but does mean that the book is a bit less entertaining as a result. But big points for the care that it gives to the storylines with Katherine and Bill!

*Thank you to Knopf and NetGalley for the ARC in exchange for my honest review*
