Ghosted by Rosie Walsh
3.0

*** Spoiler Alert (last sentence in review) ***

Thank you to Pan Macmillan UK, Publishers Group Canada and NetGalley for the advanced copy of Ghosted.
I originally thought the book was going to be a romance. It was somewhat, but it was also a mystery, and provided some interesting and unexpected twists along the way. I enjoyed learning the twists and was caught off guard when they were brought to light.
The story started off pretty weak and I found it hard to keep reading. About 1/4 of the way through I even started reading another ARC because Ghosted wasn’t keeping my attention. I came back to this one after I finished the other. It took me a bit of time to get used to the way the author wrote. Scenes were overly descriptive and took too long to move on to the next. I soon realized I was skipping paragraphs.
I found that I didn't like the characters. I could never really get connected with them but the need to find out what happened to Eddie kept me reading. About halfway through the book things started to get interesting so I thought maybe it would be so much easier to keep reading. Unfortunately, when the POV turned to Eddie I started skipping pages. There was less mystery and more just explaining and was drawn out too long. There was no action, just detail. A lot of this section was not needed and could have been left out.
I did like that there were minor characters introduced with their own story lines. Although I did find that I had to read back to remember who was who. The subplots were a nice addition to the main story.
I did like that in the end, love won.
