Ghosting: A Love Story by Tash Skilton
4.0
4.5⭐
I think that what I liked most of the book is what most reviewers didn't like at all: the sloooow burn romance. As Zoey says (to her client, Bree), "it'll be so much hotter and more satisfying after all that waiting and waiting, all that buildup rocketing through your bodies, it'll be like... [she] make[s] an "explotion" noise, complete with hand movements."
The story is quite original, it has the key ingredients of a rom-com, witty dialogues, and (from my very personal point of view) likeable characters. I really like Zoey. She's funny, smart, but insecure (due to understandable reasons). On the other hand, Miles seems very self-confident and also sharp-witted.
Zoey and Miles relationship reminded me of Meg Ryan and Tom Hanks in You've Got Mail (one of my favourite movies), and there are a couple of (literal) references to the movie as well. You can see what I mean when they meet at the café.
In summary, quite enjoyable, hard to put down, witty dialogues, and a slow burn romance.
Thanks to Kensington Books and NetGalley for providing me with an e-arc in exchange for my honest review.
