REVIEW cw: anxiety, brief mention of suicide, grief, death, trauma Dating and relationship expert Jillian has one major problem. She quite literally cannot speak to men. But when she moves into her tiny New York apartment she discovers it's already occupied. By a hot, shirtless man. And yet she can actually speak to him! There's only one problem. He's a ghost. And now Daniel is on a mission to resurrect Jillian's love life, hoping it will help him move on. But what happens when she starts to fall for the one man she can't have? This book. This. Book..! Wow! What a truly heartachingly beautiful, emotional rollercoaster. Sarah Ready excels at writing physical comedy and there are so many scenes that I snorted laughing, and could imagine watching them in a movie. But she's also a maestra at writing seriously complex moments with hugely impactful and deeply moving resonance, and they are in abundance here. Jillian was such an interesting character, with incredible emotional depth. I adored her development and, I love a geeky FMC, so the first meeting between her and Daniel was truly hilarious (and ultimately poignant). I need to be very careful not to spoil anything because this book kept me guessing throughout. All I will say about Daniel is that I ADORED every single thing about him, and his connection with Jillian was so incredibly moving, but also swoon-worthy. The final chapters were so emotionally impactful that I couldn't stop sobbing, and the epilogues were everything I hoped for. And somehow more... (especially the second one). There are also some wonderful supporting characters. I loved Serena, Jillian's best friend, and I desperately need to know more about her and her supervisor

Ghosted is funny, heartfelt, and surprisingly thoughtful, exploring grief, self-forgiveness, and second chances beneath its charming premise. The characters are likeable, the chemistry is strong, and the emotional beats really land without ever feeling heavy-handed. If you’re open to a romance that’s a little unconventional but full of warmth and heart, I’d absolutely recommend this.
