Another absolute gem of a book. I couldn’t put this one down. I have devoured page after page of this one. Completely unwilling to put this one down.
This has kept my interest and made me want to read more by this author.

WOW!! What a book, this was a unique voice, captivating and a definite can not put down from the start. This book has me fully invested and to hell with everything else until I was finished.

The story mainly followed main character Wren, she had a busy life but had been through a hell of a trauma when she was younger, she used the trauma for good and helped whoever she could. She was an amazing character, vibrant and life-like – someone you would chose to become a good friend. Her downfall was her loneliness – and falling for that one guy. We have all been there though right? Fallen for the wrong one? Ok, but maybe not to this extent!!

Wren has fallen and now he is gone, and her world as she knows it just gets darker and darker and starts tumbling out of her control until she is stuck and is in desperate need for help.

As I said earlier, this book was so unique in the writing style – I have only read one other book similar to this style and it was my favourite read last year. The story was told from many different character views as well as the main character Wren. It was incredibly fast paced throughout, incredibly hooking until the very last word.

I would like to thank NetGalley and the Publisher for my copy of this Ebook in exchange for my honest review … and I would like to recommend this book to anyone who loves an edge of your seat thriller. Big Bravo to the author. I can not wait to see what she writes next.

This is the first book of Lisa Ungers that I’ve read and it was quite good. I wasn’t a fan of the writing style, it was a bit choppy and I didn’t like the style of first person that she used but overall the story was good. It was quite suspenseful and I liked the way she incorporated a different persons view even if it was a bit repetitive. All in all it has has made me want to try some of her other books.

This is a compelling psychological thriller
There are plenty of layers in this book
A good read
Thanks NetGalley

I didn’t really get on with the overall tone of the book. The characters and storyline weren’t really grabbing me and I struggled to finish it because of this. Perhaps it just wasn’t my cup of tea.

It started well but about 38% in I just wasn't really hooked. Wren works under the alias of Dear Birdie, an online agony aunt and keeps her alter ego secret from all but a few. She dates a man for a few months and then he ghosts her. Turns out, he's done it before. As she investigates, I got bored. I wanted to like the book and I didn't dislike it, but I was just so reluctant to pick it up again that it was becoming a chore.

Thanks to Netgalley for a free copy in return for an honest review.

Thanks to NetGalley for the opportunity to read and review this book. It was an absolutely excellent read. With it looking at online dating from a new angle, it had good characters and was very well written. I could not put down this gripping and thrilling read and could not wait to see how it ended. Unputdownable!!!

Thanks NetGalley for the ARC of Last Girl Ghosted
Wow!! I cannot say enough about this book, one of the best this year that I've read
Lisa Unger has written a phenomenal novel, I could not put it down
Wren is the main character who meets Adam on a dating site, she doesn't expect more than a date or two, but they fall hard for each other, the connection is like no other. She starts to open up to him about her personal life and her past.  Then Adam is gone, missing, vanished. She thinks he is somewhere out there watching her, waiting to get back in touch but this private investigator is in the way. Then Wren starts to do some research. We learn about her past, and others that Adam, if that's his name, have dated and are missing. And then her chance to see him one last time...
The ending has me on the edge of my seat, honestly this is a must read. I wanted to dive into every other Lisa Unger book that I haven't read yet

Wren goes on a date from an online dating site and finds her perfect man, Adam.
Adam then ghosts her and Wren is contacted by a private investigator as he believes that Wren is not the first woman to be ghosted by this man, and there are missing women who is has been hired to find one of them.
Wren starts to investigate herself, whilst also being an anonymous agony aunt, and also doubts herself and the advice that she is providing.
Enjoyed this book by Lisa Unger and interesting slant on online dating.

5 stars!

Thank you Lisa Unger! This was the book I needed to get me out of my reading slump! A gripping and unputdownable psychological thriller.

A popular advice columnist with a dark history.

I was engrossed by this fast-paced, unique, thrilling and suspenseful story from start to finish - it hooked me right away and didn’t let up! I loved the main character, Wren. There were so many unique and fascinating layers to her backstory that kept me curious and fully invested throughout.

Flashbacks were a brilliant addition and highly intriguing piece to this storyline. They kept the pace quick and added an intense amount of suspense and tension to the plot. I couldn’t read this fast enough!

I am a huge fan of this author and this has now moved its way up to the top of my list of her novels. I highly recommend and can’t wait to see what she comes out with next!

Thank you Park Row for my review copy

Ghosting has to be one of the worst byproducts of modern dating. As unpleasant (and sometimes downright traumatizing) as it is to experience in the real world, I really liked the fact that Lisa Unger used this as the main premise of her latest novel Last Girl Ghosted. I love the fact that psychological thrillers have become popular as that has increased the number of them being published but sometimes plot-lines start to resemble each other a bit too much. Long gone are the days of unpredictability Gone Girl brought with it so that is no longer what I base my reviews on. For me it was the refreshing (at least refreshing in the world of fiction) premise combined with character driven slow burn suspense that made me really enjoy this story.

Wren is reluctant to try online dating but at the insistence of her best friend she signs up for a dating app Torch. Against all her expectations (or lack thereof) she meets Adam and the two hit it off right from the get go. Chemistry seems to be off the charts both emotionally and physically and Wren finds herself opening up to Adam about some things from her past. And just as it seems the two couldn't be any closer she receives a cryptic "sorry" text from Adam after which all of his online presence vanishes, along with Adam himself. Then a private investigator Bailey shows up on her doorstep with some information Wren has a hard time wrapping her mind around. Before she knows it, she finds herself playing detective trying to figure out the truth about Adam...but at what cost...

I really enjoyed this story. It was an enjoyable, engaging read for me which was no surprise as I tend to love Lisa Unger's writing. I find one of the drawbacks of reading so many psychological thriller books is that it becomes very hard to be surprised by the way the story unfolds but in this case I was so drawn in by the premise and the characters that that part became less relevant. If you are looking for your next "curl under the blanket and get cozy with an interesting read" type of book, I'd really recommend this one.

Very thankful to HQ Digital (Harper Collins UK) & Netgalley for gifting me an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Unger puts a thrilling spin on online dating. Imagine you meet a guy. He's perfect, You meet in real life and spend weeks together. You fall in love. But then he disappears...And you've just told your most guarded secret.
This was an intriguing read. It was pacy, but I do feel that the flashbacks to Wren's childhood slowed the story down and I wanted more from the present day narrative. Nonetheless, a decent fun read.

Many thanks to the publishers and Netgalley for this arc. I adored Unger's recent novel, Confessions on the 7.45 Train (I think that was the title), which was incidentally my first time reading Unger and I raced through it. I found the setup of Last Girl Ghosted innovative and exciting, and devoured the first 20% or so, but then I started to get bored. For a thriller, I just wasn't compelled to turn the pages. Then I realised why. I'll explain why, but first here is the setup:
Wren is doing online dating when she swipes on Adam. They meet and fall in love, spending several weeks together and then Adam vanishes. The narrative is in second-person with Wren talking to Adam, and intertwined are flashbacks to Wren's past. Then Wren is contacted by a PI, who is investigating the disappearance of a girl who met Adam online, too and disappeared with him...

So why did this fall apart for me:
- As one reviewer said (I paraphrase) I thought this would be a careful-swiping-you-don't-know-who-you-might-meet cautious story instead I got a oh-this-awful-happened-to-me-and-I'm-still-haunted-by-my-past story. Misleading title and synopsis. I just wasn't intrigued by Wren's childhood and there's a lot of it.
- So much information about current Wren's job. She has a Dear Birdie job, and far too many of her readers stories was shoved in, as an attempt to reflect on issues and be deep.
- In the current story there was no reason for Wren to play detective. So a guy ghosted you, move on. Her life is not in danger; there is no ticking clock. Why is she so eager to hunt him down? It would've been more interesting if say Wren was being stalked and her life was being disrupted. That's the thing. Her life wasn't affected initially. Even the PI says, who is eager to find out Wren's secret, says Adam "might" come back for if she disclosed anything to him. I thought those moments when Wren thought she saw Adam were not compelling enough to serve as motivation for her to play amateur detective.
- Then the resolution felt silly (for my taste).

A dark but predictable thriller that I found slow moving and repetitive in places. A competent read.

Excellent storyline, kept me on edge till the very last page. Thanks to Netgalley and the author for the free read. Highly recommended

This book caught my attention early on and I couldn't put it down but around the 30-50% point it lost me, which is probably why it took me a month to read it. I thought about DNF'ing it however I did still want to know how it was going to play out. I didn't expect what I would consider the biggest plot twist in the book but it also wasn't shocking and really lacked a wow factor. The ending was also quite predictable.

This book just wasn't really for me but does have a lot of positive reviews!

Huge thanks to HQ Stories & Netgalley for the gifted eARC of this book!

3.5 stars for me

I was intrigued by the fact that Wren meets somebody through a dating app. What could come out of this?
So we meet a young woman who thinks she will have a quick hook-up with a stranger. But quickly their relationship developes into somthing much deeper. She falls hard for Adam. Too hard?
All of a sudden Adam disappeares - profile deleted, phone disconnected, leaving no trace behind. Being ghosted like this Wren sets out to look for answers.

What follows is a wild ride where we get into multiple storylines and we hear from several women who were ghosted by Adam as well. There is also some serious stuff we discover about Wren's own past.

All in all it was hard for me to connect with the charakters and I would have loved to hear more about the side-stories.
I would rather describe this book as a mystery than a thriller.

Thanks #NetGaalley #HQ #LisaUnger for my ARC

Thanks to the publishers for sharing this one. It stood out from the other thrillers I've read recently, I think mainly because of the apocalyptic theme woven through it. My full review appears on Weekend Notes.

I struggled with this book. I enjoyed the first half of the story line but after that, I felt the book dragged quite a bit. I have read plenty of other reviews from people who have loved the book though so if you plan on reading it, please don't let my review deter you.

I couldn't put this book down, while at the same time, I was not impressed. Cardboard characters, emo drama, repetitive, and often predictable, yet still at the edge of my seat. I guess Unger is very good at creating tension and making you want to find out more. This is the second book I read of her and the previous one had that same quality. Last Girl Ghosted isn't as fleshed out as Ink and Bone, sadly. If I look at my Kindle notes, I see a lot of frustration there. Unreliable narrator, flat characters and the overuse of the word "solar plexus" (six times where I thought once was quite enough). Hoping her next novel will be more satisfying again.
