Ghosted by Sarah Ready

Rating:⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I would have finished this book in 2 days if my life wasn’t so chaotic.

A nerd and a ghost fall in love. Ok, well that isn’t the whole story, but what if I told you after Jillian moves into a new apartment she is greeted by a shirtless ghost. Why was he drawn to her? Can they figure it out before it is his time to move on?

I absolutely loved Ghosted and can’t wait for book 2. I have been grabbing all of the audios for Sarah Ready’s books off Netgalley since Josh and Gemma Make a Baby and this book absolutely didn’t disappoint.

The Narrators were perfect and that is saying something considering I like to listen to my books at 2x+ and the narrator didn’t sound robotic when I put it at 2.5x

I really loved this book. I’m sad it took me so long to finally pick it up and read it. It was so sweet and I honestly couldn't put it down until I finished it.

I enjoyed this book and the twists and turns it had in a romance with a little paranormal aspect. Sarah has really great stories with great chemistry. It dragged here and there due to its length but overall I enjoyed the story.

This book was a delight. I loved the connection that Daniel and Jillian shared. I loved the mind bending theoretical physics the book explored. The banter was entertaining and the side characters endearing. This was a really cute rom com with a twist. The only negative I had was that the pacing was sometimes a little off, and the ending was somewhat predictable, but overall I adored it.

I liked this book! The FMC was very easy to relate to and I enjoyed her character very much. I wasn't as much a fan of the MMC, but he grew on me towards the end. I would very much enjoy another book in this series. I liked the first 60% of this book more than the ending, but overall it was very enjoyable. I'm looking forward to reading more of this authors work.

I was most appreciative of an ARC because I love this author, but sadly this book just let me down. While Demi Moore and Patrick swayze may have ruined ghost interactions for me, or maybe the fact that I love Star Wars way more than Star Trek, I don't know but just something just didn't do it for me with this book. It was too long in parts. Some areas that could have been expanded on were glossed over. And the whole middle just bogged me down and bored me. The ending got a little better until they went to the other country. I don't know. It was just a little bit of a mess. More so than the other books. I'm not even sure if I would give the sequel a try. But I will continue to still read this author because I like her other books a lot.

This is such a cute story, and really original too! I have never read anything like it. I love the plot, and i love the characters (um i need me a daniel).

The book was quite on the long side, and i must say that halfway through the book i thought we were already nearing the ending. However, there was much more coming, and it was so fun to read the second half after that first one. The second epilogue was also a really good addition!

I also really liked the mention of the gala, whose name i of course remember from the space between, another novel bij sarah ready. I love it when worlds come together like that.

Really fun, definitely recommend! Cant wait for book 2 and read about Serena.

audio is really nice as well, i really liked the narrator

Ghosted is such a magical love story. It's about fate and destiny and that one true love. I loved every minute of it.

Sarah Ready is my go to favorite romance author. She's creative and crafts swoony heartfelt romances that will make anyone believe in love.

This book was perfect and I love the paranormal twist to it.

Moving to a new house, making friends with a ghost and falling in love with him is definitely not the easy road to take and yet... Maybe a happy ever after might be in the cards for Jillian anyway.

Jillian loves living in New York. She loves her job at The Daily Expose newspaper. She even likes her coworkers. But she has to live in a cheap apartment because New York is expensive. That's how she ends up in an apartment covered in mirrors and haunted by Daniel. She and Daniel spend lots of time together and begin to develop feelings for each other. Unfortunately, he is a ghost, so this is likely to be a very complicated relationship!

This is a supernatural love story. The author was creative in her treatment of two people falling in love in an unusual situation. I became invested in them finding a way to end up together. I am not going to give away the twist because it wouldn't be fair for future readers to miss out on the moment when the author gives away how it might work out. I like both Jillian and Daniel. I thought the side characters added a nice little something to the overall story. The writing was good, and the flow of the story was excellent.

This is a contemporary romance set in New York City and other (I'm not going to say since I fear it might give away something). This story has supernatural components. This is a feel-good story about two people who are meant to be together even against the odds. I would recommend this story to anyone looking for a love story about two nice people who just belong together. I will definitely read more from this author in the future.

This is a lovely novel. It is different than anything I’ve read before.

Jillian finds herself in an apartment in NYC with a ghost. She makes friends with him, falls in love, and must figure out her destiny.

A very good, fun, funny, beautiful story with a happy ending. (My favorite)

Definitely recommend to others.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

This book was so sweet and I loved the somewhat paranormal aspect of this book. Daniel and Jillian were so adorable! I loved how Daniel in his ghost form was able to help Jillian come out of her shell. I loved how they fell in love while he was a ghost and I love how Jillian was a Star Trek super fan. I love the inclusion of a geeky female main character!

I really loved this book. It was so sweet and I honestly couldn't put it down. I thought it was going to be a little silly at first, but as I read I was more and more sucked in. I read it about a month ago and I honestly am still thinking about it!

Ghosted by Sarah Ready is a fun contemporary romance with a supernatural twist. A friends to lovers story full of witty banter and ghostly goings-on. Jillian and Daniel first meet under extraordinary circumstances and not all is as it seems. It is a wonderful story about fate and a love strong enough to help the couple save each other, but can you have a HEA when one of the couple is dead? You will just have to read it to find out!

The author quickly immerses you into the paranormal part of the story when Jillian moves into her new apartment and is shocked to find it is haunted by a handsome shirtless ghost. She can’t believe he’s a ghost and he doesn’t believe he’s dead. He doesn’t know why or how he died and can’t remember much about his life. Is it all a dream or has she just imagined him as she has been so determined to find a man who sees her for who she is. Daniel knows her name and is positive they were friends but she is sure she didn’t know him before he died. This leads her to question who is he? Why has he appeared to her and no one else? Why hasn’t he moved on?

The biggest surprise for Jillian is being able to talk to Daniel because she is extremely shy and usually has an inability to speak to men. He helps her when her job is in jeopardy and gives her dating advice. They fall into an easy friendship and the connection between them grows quickly.
The emotional side of the story grows as we learn more about them and love blossoms between them. I felt the insta love between them was not surprising because he was the first man she could actually talk to. We meet her work colleagues who are an eclectic group but have grown into a family over the years and we learn a lot about all of them. Her best friend Serena is so funny and supportive, I loved how she helped Jillian navigate her unusual relationship.

They are having so much fun together and she is changing as a person that she is distraught when he suddenly doesn’t appear anymore. She thought he was there due to having some unfinished business so has he done what he was meant to and moved on? Will she ever find out who he was? The story continues as Jillian tries to navigate life without Daniel. My heart broke for her but luckily the author doesn't leave us in suspense for too long and all is revealed in the end. This unusual story is well written and you will be thoroughly entertained and captivated by Jillian and Daniel. Will they manage to save each other when the time comes? Although it is told entirely from Jillian’s POV, we get an amusing second epilogue from Daniel to end this wonderful book. Look out for Switched - Serena’s story next year.

This is the first paranormal romance book I've tried and it didn't disappoint. I love how this story highlights letting go of your past, loving yourself, and mostly forgiving yourself so you can embrace the love you deserve.

Absolutely adored this book and it reminded me of the movie ‘just like heaven’ from the early 2000s. Loved the characters and the storyline ofcourse it was entirely unbelievable but a fantastic read

Read this as an ARC through NetGalley & I am so happy I chose this story.
I don't usually read paranormal stories, but I quite enjoyed this one. This book is a bit long (457 pages) but I didn't mind. It was written as two parts. While the first half of the book was wonderful, the second half is what really pulled me in. Probably because the paranormal aspect subsided.

All in all it was a unique and lovely romance. The side characters were interesting with their own little stories. Looking forward to the next book to learn more about Serena.

<i>"If I'd known my new apartment was a sex maniacs love den, I would never have invited my parents along."</i>

Ghosted by Sarah Ready may have my favorite opening line ever. Jillian's first encounter with her new apartment includes wall-to-ceiling mirrors, shaggy carpet, and a half naked man named Daniel who may or may not be a ghost and who insists they're friends.

The first part of the book follows the pair as they get their bearings: Daniel as a man who doesn't understand how he died and Jillian as a woman who can't speak to men...except Daniel. The pair have an instant bond, and their love is beautiful and moving.

Then IT happens...the thing in every Sarah Ready book that makes you grab for tissues and ugly cry well into the night.

Don't worry, there's an HEA. You just have to work for it. I don't want to go into too many details and ruin the surprise, so I'll leave it at that.

Ghosted was a gem of a paranormal romance. I loved the way Jillian and Daniel helped each other, and I never once felt their relationship was rushed or disingenuous. Every moment spent figuring out their mystery was spent on the edge of my seat even though I guessed one of the twists pretty early.

I love how protective Daniel's sister was and how all of the bad things that happened to Jillian led her to help Daniel in the end. Her co-workers were also one of my favorite parts of the book. You'll be rooting for them all!!

Thank you, Sarah Ready and NetGalley, for the opportunity to read this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Jillian can’t talk to men, no seriously - she just can’t talk to men at all. As her career is looking down, her love life is nonexistent, and she suddenly needs a new apartment - it really doesn’t seem like it can get worse. But it can. Her new apartment is haunted apparently, by a handsome and weirdly shirtless ghost named Daniel. Daniel decides that his unfinished business is to help Jillian and her love life. Will he help? Or make it so much more complicated?

This was so cute. Jillian is so awkward and sweet. Daniel is so funny. Their banter was wonderful. I loved The Dead Romantics by Ashley Poston and this really hit in the same spot. I thought the relationship was sweet and I loved that Jillian found her love life improving, but also her other relationships as well. Even knowing this was a romance, I was shocked more than once at the direction of the plot. If you’re a rom-com reader, I think you’d enjoy this one!

Actual Rating: 3.5⭐

The plot is very interesting, I was intrigued by the mystery of how Daniel appear at Jillian’s apartment as a ghost and why only Jillian could see him. It was funny and strange seeing how they interact with each other.

I keep reading until the end because I wanted to know the explanation to what happen to Daniel and whether they’ll end up happily together since it’s impossible for a ghost and human to have a romantic relationship…

But, I really like the secondary characters, like Fran, Jillian’s BFF – Serena and also Jillian’s co-worker at the office whose really liven up the story.
I wasn’t the biggest fan of Jillian at first, but I slowly started to understand her as the story goes.
Then there's the mysterious Daniel. He is the reason why I like the second half part of the story since I got to know his background story.

As much as I like the plot idea of this book, there are some things I wish differently.
I wish the progress of the romance between Jillian and Daniel wasn’t so rushed, it felt like an insta-love which I’m not a huge fan of.
Moreover, the spicy scenes between the two of them while Daniel was still a ghost was really weird….

The first half part and the second half part feels like two different books, the changes to the main characters were quite abrupt. It would be nice if it was divided into two separate books instead of packing it into one thick book.

Overall, it’s a pretty enjoyable read and I find this plot idea really interesting.
Even so, I’m still unsure of what really happen with Daniel even after reading the second epilogue. It should have clarified something but instead it raised some questions for me.
Nevertheless, I’m looking forward to read the next book in this series featuring Serena – Jillian’s best friend!
