Ghosted by Rosie Mullender is a contemporary mystery/sort of romance about a young woman who thinks she was ghosted by her ex until she plays with a Ouiji board and finds out her ex is literally a ghost and is now haunting her. Will she discover how he died and help him move on? Will she land her perfect ad campaign and get herself a new boyfriend that fits in with her new chic London life?

This was funny and heartfelt and I really liked the character of Andy, though the main protagonist of Emily was really very insufferable. There was a lot of mentions of class and "improving yourself" in this one and whether curating your life for instagram really makes for a better life. I really enjoyed the main storyline but did find some of that commentary really irritating.

4 stars - it was a cute summer read that I really enjoyed but it wasn't groundbreaking and didn't come without flaws. However, it was one of my most enjoyed contemporary reads of this year so far,

This fabulous, well written rom-com, really lifted my spirits (no pun intended!). The romantic elements, coupled with the 'whodunnit/how did he die' mystery kept the story interesting and kept me invested in finding out how it all turned out in the end. The tongue in cheek humour, coupled with slapstick moments, did have me smiling and almost laughing out loud at times and although many parts of the story are predictable, there are some huge surprises along the way. The characters are likeable and relatable; especially Emily, who is obsessed with trying way too hard to change herself, so that she can be accepted by others who are clearly not worthy. In terms of the romance, like Emily, I was so focussed on the saga between Andy and Oliver, that I didn't see what was in front of me, so the romantic twist at the end came as a massive surprise to both Emily and myself! I thoroughly enjoyed reading this story and feel like at the end, there should be a statement saying 'and the morale of the story Gals is ..... be true to yourself and don't try to change who you are, when it's likely you are perfect exactly as you are' .... (or something to that effect). A huge thanks to NetGallery and Little Brown Book Group Ltd for allowing me to get a copy of the book, which is out on July 13, 2023 - It's a perfect book to take away with you on holiday this Summer.

Ghosted by Rosie Mullender is a hilarious and charming romantic comedy with a supernatural twist.

However, when Andy's name appears on a Ouija board and he shows up as a ghost in her flat, Emily is forced to confront her unresolved feelings and help him solve the mystery of his death.

Mullender's writing is witty and filled with laugh-out-loud moments, making it an entertaining read from start to finish. The banter between Emily and Andy is delightful, and their chemistry shines through even in their unusual circumstances. The author skilfully balances humour with heartfelt moments, creating a story that is both light-hearted and emotionally resonant.

Ghosted is a refreshing take on the romantic comedy genre, infusing it with a supernatural twist that adds an extra layer of intrigue and humour. It's a delightful and engaging read that will captivate fans of romantic comedies and those looking for a light-hearted yet meaningful story. Mullender's clever blend of humour, romance, and the supernatural make this novel a standout in its genre.
