Ghosted

I was a little let down with the story. 2 best friends get some outside interference and stop communicating. This is the basis of the story. Technically they did ghost one another, but this is not what I personally consider ghosted since its more of a term for a couple not friends. The story did have some interesting parts and they worked it all out in the end. The narration is nice and actually what kept me going.

Good read

Interesting read. Zoe and Violet have been best friends for years. Zoe is, by all appearances, happily married and has a job she loves as a teacher, while Violet goes from one abusive relationship to another, works a demanding job as a midwife, and in the purchase, she is ghosted by her best friend for no apparent reason...at first. Why and what's really going on? Find out in Ghosted.

A Shorter yet Deeper book

The BFFs have been through a lot in their young adult lives and have always stuck with each other. The storylines run the gamut of various relationships, careers, insecurities and getting “ghosted”. The Narration is excellent, every character is clear, distinctive and unique. Resolutions for these characters come in a surprising fashion. I really liked this book a lot.

Chic lit drama

This an interesting read with relatable characters. There is suspense, drama, and medical drama is this easy to read chic lit story. I'm not usually into chic lit, but it was a good listen and I'd recommend it to fans of chic lit drama.

I definitely recommend!

I have to admit, Ghosted was not what I expected. After reading the blurb, I was ready to delve into a mystery novel about a girl whose best friend suddenly vanishes. I already started speculating in my mind: was she murdered? Kidnapped? Is there some big conspiracy going on?

I was so wrong on so many levels… And to be honest, I’m glad I was! I don’t remember the last time I read such a light book with such a deep plot. Ghosted has the style of a great chic-lit but underneath the surface, there’s so much more: mental health disorders, different levels of emotional abuse, and the list goes on.

The story is about the friendship of Violet and Zoe, two twenty-something adults on their ways to self-discovery. Violet chose the demanding but at the same time fulfilling career of a midwife, and the book gives us a peek into her busy days at the maternity ward and the challenges she has to face in her fascinating and beautiful profession. Meanwhile, she’s trying to escape an abusive relationship, throwing herself back into the dating pool right away before she could have time to heal. However, when her best friend disappears from her life, she has to find out what has really been happening around her all this time.

I’ve always had a soft spot for books dealing with mental health issues, but I didn’t expect the story to pull me in within a matter of pages. I found the main character relatable from the very first scene, Rowney introduces her motivations and thought so elegantly that you can’t help but sympathize with her even in her darkest moments.

If I had to pick one thing I loved most about the book, that’s Rowney’s writing style. Her characters are multilayered, and her descriptions are detailed but never dull. The twist at the end was not as Earth-shattering as I first thought it would be, but still, I felt satisfied with the ending and immediately signed up for a copy of the upcoming prequel. I’ve probably become way too invested in the characters; I can’t wait to find out more about their lives and how they had grown to be the girls I got to know and love in Ghosted.
It's definitely worth a read!

An extra note: I think the performer was the perfect choice for this story, I thoroughly enjoyed listening to her!
