Oh how I loved Daniel and Jillian! They were the best. I loved seeing all the twists and turns their love story took them on. The audio version and the narrators were perfection.

I discovered Sarah Ready through net galley earlier this year and absolutely love her writing style! This was definitely something different that I've read in a long time. I love anything supernatural/preternatural/paranormal. Tropes for Ghosted include: strangers to friends to lovers, paranormal, fated mates, science fiction. I read this through the audiobook so the narrator also made it very easy to stay intrigued and follow along which is a plus! I'd love to re-read this in the physical form and annotate! Highly recommend for people who want to read/try something different. If paranormal is not your thing then move along. But if not, HIGHLY recommend.

This is a delightful paranormal romance novel with a charming cast of characters, a heartwarming story, and just the right amount of humour.

Jillian Nejat is a romance columnist who has a terminal inability to talk to men in real life. When she moves into a new apartment and meets Daniel, a handsome ghost, she's surprised to find that she can easily communicate with him. Daniel offers to help Jillian with her dating life, and the two quickly develop a deep connection.

I loved watching Jillian and Daniel's relationship blossom. They're both relatable and likeable characters and their interactions are full of chemistry and humour. The author does a great job of developing the relationship between the two characters, and I found myself rooting for them from the start.

The paranormal aspect of the story is also well-done. The author explains the rules of the ghost world in a way that makes sense, and she doesn't shy away from exploring the challenges that come with being in a relationship with a ghost.

Overall, Ghosted is a fun and heartwarming romance novel that I would recommend to fans of the genre. It's a well-written story with likeable characters, a charming premise, and just the right amount of humour and emotion.

I gave the book 4 stars because I felt that the plot was a bit predictable in places, and the ending was a bit rushed. However, I still enjoyed the book overall and would recommend it to others.

I would like to thank Netgalley and Sarah Ready for sending me this arc in exchange for an honest review. I did recieve both audio and Normal formats of this book. I did switch between them both. I went into this not knowing what to expect. I loved it! The characters the twists the romance, it all kept me gripped the whole time. I am new to Sarah Ready but I will definitely be picking up more of her books.

This was such an unexpected read! The premise of the story sucked me in but I wasn’t sure how our characters were going to get their happily ever after. Well, the twist in this story was wonderful and the HEA did come and was hard fought.

Jillian is the epitome of shyness. She can’t even say hello to the coffee vendor downstairs. But when Daniel, a ghost who doesn’t know he’s a ghost, shows up in her new apartment, Jillian suddenly finds her voice. Together, Daniel helps Jillian come out of her shell and Jillian helps Daniel accept his current status. Throughout their time together, the two end up falling in love, even though they recognize the challenges their very unconventional relationship poses.

Just when I thought there was no way forward in their relationship, Sarah Ready gives us a wonderful twist that moves the story forward and helps Daniel and Jillian find forever love.

This story was reminiscent of the movie The Lake House. It was romantic and fun and fresh. Thoroughly enjoyed this paranormal love story.

One thing this book did not have was a content warning for the mention of suicide, but I feel like that’s something readers need to know going in.

I ended up enjoying this paranormal romance. The beginning seemed a little long and there was more innuendo than I personally prefer. Once Daniel and Jillian began spending time together, I became invested in their story. Jillian was very shy and struggled to speak to men. Her character had great growth as she learned to let go of the past and become confident in who she was.

I really enjoyed Jillian’s coworkers and felt like that part of the story was impactful. It brought in a nice found family element and balanced the romance.

This is a ghost story, so I was guessing the entire book how it would turn out. I liked the overall resolution. There was plenty of relationship drama and work drama to add some tension to the story. The second epilogue cleared up some of the questions I had. I was surprised by the number of open door scenes. I was not expecting that from a ghost story. Be warned if you prefer not to read that type of content, however they are easy to skip.

The audio was well done. There are two narrators, but the male is only heard during the second epilogue.

This book contains scattered moderate profanity and several open door scenes.

Good gracious did I love this book. I laughed, then I cried A LOT, and I felt hope. It was in the same vein of The Dead Romantics by Ashley Poston, which I loved. Ghosted is its own story and book, though, and I found it to be excellent. I appreciated the character development and wound up loving each one in their quirks and ways. The tension was palpable, the heat was spicy, and the emotional journey was authentic.

I received an ARC courtesy of the publisher and NetGalley. The opinions are mine alone.

Sarah Ready wrote an unexpected book about life, love, and how the twists and turns create the life we choose to live. I spent a good part of the book trying to figure it out. Let me say without offering any spoilers this is a gem of a romance, read it and let Sarah Ready take you on a journey of true love and fate.

Ghosted by S. Ready is the first book in the new series. A witty and fun read that gives all the feels.
Ghosted tells the story of Jillian and Daniel.
Jillian is a relationship expert who can't talk to men in general, tragic.
Just moved to NY she needs new everything.
Daniel is her new roomie in a very special way, just like himself.
Sorry not sorry no spoilers here.
A masterfully written and beautifuully told story that I greatly enjoyed reading.

At this point, I will read anything Sarah Ready writes. I fell in love with this author back in January and she’s now my most read author so far this year. There’s just something about a paranormal / mind-bending romance that just pulls me in - maybe it’s the idea that love is more powerful than space and time? Anyways, I loved this story so much and couldn’t put it down - both MCs were so endearing and Jillian’s character growth was written so well. If you loved The Dead Romantics, The Seven Year Slip or the movie The Lake House, I can’t recommend this enough! I listened to the audiobook for the first half (loved the narrator) and read the e-book for the second and enjoyed both formats.

I absolutely adored Ghosted, I loved the characters and enjoyed the mismatched group of reporters who formed an unconventional family. I have never rooted for a happy ending so hard as I did reading this book.

Whenever I receive a Sarah Ready novel, I can hardly wait to begin the story. Once again, she has managed to create a truly unique book, with two mesmerizing individuals who I loved as soon as I read about them. Jillian Nejat finds it difficult to speak to men. Her family neighbour Fran has set her up on more than 100 blind dates and she still has had no success. When she moves into a cheap NYC apartment, she finds herself living with Daniel, a sexy and shirtless heartthrob. Jillian has no difficulty talking to Daniel, but unfortunately, Daniel is a ghost. Daniel is convinced that he is in her life to help save her love life and despite her disagreeing to his proposal, Jillian finds herself falling for Daniel, the one person who she can never have.
Without revealing too much more of the storyline, I can’t find enough superlatives. This was such a beautiful love story, that had me wondering how it could possibly ever work out between Jillian and Daniel. It was definitely a rollercoaster ride of events and emotions, and the story has stayed with me long after the last page.
An amazing read and one that deserves to be read more than once!
I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book from NetGalley. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

This was the first book I have read by Sarah Ready, and it definitely will not be the last! I started reading thinking I was just in for a light-hearted silly love story. Instead I found a story about a character I could directly relate to not only finding love, but also finding her way through loss and grief.


I did not want to put this book down, it easily kept my attention. There were more twists and turns and page turning moments than the synopsis implies. Just when you think you have things figured out, something else happens that flips everything on its head!


The story is told through Jillian's point of view, and we get to experience her social transformation first hand. We also get brief glimpses into the lives of some of the people closest to her and get to see their transformations as well, though I wish there could have been times where the story was told from another perspective.


☆》Thank you NetGalley and W.W. Crown for sending this book for review consideration. All opinions are my own.《☆

This was a cute romantic comedy with paranormal romance elements and I enjoyed it. The characters were fun and so was the story. I did feel like it was a bit predictable but not a total bad thing. I would definitely read more from the author.

4.5 stars
TW: descriptions of injuries after accidents, dealing with life after loss, mentioned suicide
Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for an eARC copy to review. All thoughts are my own.

Once again, Sarah Ready delivers an emotional romance, accompanied by hilarity, a solid cast of side characters, and great character growth, all wrapped up with a paranormal twist that's perfect for this time of year.

Jillian, the main female protagonist, has a lot on her plate at the beginning of this book. She's struggling to give sound relationship advice down to the fact that she's unable to even speak to the opposite sex. Given her job is to write for the readers of the website she works for on this very topic, it's quite an interesting debacle she's faced with. Along with her career nose-diving, she's moved into what once had to be a sex den of an apartment, and on her first night there, she meets Daniel - her new spector of a roommate.

I loved that Jillian, described as awkward at best, goes on this journey, first to get rid of Daniel, and then learn how to live again in the company of her seemingly dead new friend. As a fan of ghost-based paranormal romances, I enjoyed every bit of Jillian opening up herself to the opportunities she was missing out on all thanks to Daniel's guidance. His ability to bridge the realm of the living to assist her in stepping out back into the world was written well. Whilst hilarious at many points, I liked the emotional outcome of Jillian's connection with Daniel, especially when romantic feelings and entanglement of her fledgling hope were mixed in.

I was a little concerned when I got to what felt like the pinnacle moment between the pair and it was only the midway point of the book, but what follows is Jillian's journey to rediscover Daniel when he all but disappears on her. I admit, I struggled a little with how suddenly determined Jillian was to find him and insert herself into his life. It was somewhat cringe at points, especially with the loosely based concept of how she met Daniel in the first place. However, the build-up and the explanations and twists as the story progresses make up for this momentarily iffy feeling. I cried, I consumed this read, and I hoped for both Daniel and Jillian to reach their happily ever after. And if you're a return reader of this author, you know there's always at least a happy for now to satisfy with.

This is my favourite novel to date that I've read by Sarah Ready, and I'm eager to read what's to come next.

I just finished Ghosted by Sarah Ready @sarahreadyauthor and here are my thoughts.


Jillian isn’t living her best life. She is working in a job giving relationship advice when she can’t even bring herself to talk in front of any men but that all changes when she moves into her new apartment and a man, Daniel appears in her home, shirtless, sexy and not corporeal.
Daniel doesn’t seem to want to believe he is dead but for some reason seems to think he and Jillian matter to each other even though Jillian doesn’t recognize him. That's not even the strangest part, by some miracle, she finds it easy to talk to him.
Once Daniel is over the shock of being dead, he believes his afterlife mission is to fix Jillian's love life before he can move on. He can’t make it any worse so she agrees but what do you do when you find yourself falling for the only man on the planet you know you can’t have?
I really enjoyed this book. It was different from the books I usually read and made from some really funny and adorable moments. I just have one question.. Why was he shirtless? He doesn’t die shirtless.. I know his billboard picture is shirtless (slight spoiler haha) but it wasn’t a defining moment in his life to be the reason his ghost is shirtless….
The only part in the book and literally the only reason it lost a half a star was the weird not sex scene in the book. It was weird for me, I get why the author added it but it took from the tone of the book because their connection before that was already so intense I think it was unnecessary but otherwise, excellent writing and I was super entertained from start to finish.
This might be one of the best indie books I have ever read.
I loved all the characters and the banter. It was one of my most touching books of the year. One I will definitely recommend! And the second epilogue just about unhinged me…


4.5 stars. Thank you @netgalley and @ibpalovesindies for my gifted copy!

I found Jullian and Daniel's story intriguing. The combination of emotion, drama, and humor was engaging and there are a couple really good twists. The prose is often exceptionally beautiful, and the feels are truly epic. However, sometimes this book just felt like it was too long.

Thank you so much to NetGalley and Sarah Ready for the eARC of Ghosted. I absolutely loved this book and the premise. I've only read a couple paranormal romances in the past, but this one is one of my favorites. I rated this one 4.5/5 stars.

I was not prepared for how emotional this read was. The romance was so raw, and I could feel the main character's pain in the later part of the book. I was also just not expecting the book to go in the direction that it did, but I was pleased with it. I did think that it could have been a little shorter with how much build up there was for the conflict and ending, but overall, it was a great read.

Just finished reading to the ARC from the author, and Sarah's done it again! I beautifully written, deep, thought-provoking book, as always.

The basic idea behind the story reminded me of "Twenties Girl", a vastly different and brilliant book by Sophie Kinsella. Ghosted felt well thought out in comparison, though I'll admit I struggled to wrap my head around the entire plot line and the twists. The only other negative is how the various phases or acts as I might refer to them didn't quite flow into one another. I could feel the abrupt switch in narration.

Moving on to everything I loved. Gillian was one of the best FMCs I've read! I love how well thought out her character is, with incidents to back up every little quirk of hers. She is her own unique person outside of her relationships, and the individual show time she got to herself gave great insights into her character.

Unfortunately, I didn't get to know Daniel as well, but enjoyed him most in the first act of the story, as a muddled, caring, lovable man. I loved how he wasn't afraid to be vulnerable and that was a magnetic quality.
 
A cross reference to "The Space Between", another book by Ready which came out this year was just what I needed to put a huge smile on my face. I'm not a fan of Star Trek or a science person as of such, but some concepts in the book intrigued me on further research. So, this book is great for reference lovers.

I found the work environment at Gillian's place the definition of a familial, healthy bond! I loved the blooming dynamic between the colleagues so lovely and heartwarming. I can compare it to that of siblings. Mutual love, exasperation, familiarity, comfort, and loyalty.

Coming to the audiobook narrators, I didn't find them as endearing as I had hoped. They weren't bad, I just didn't notice them to stand out with their performance for most of the listen.

10/10 recommend for a philosophical read with many short chapters. I will definitely come back to this book time and again.

While I enjoy Sarah Ready's writing style, this book just was not for me. I was very intrigued by the premise, but after a cringey encounter with a ghost I was struggling to push through. I also found some of the dialogue to be choppy and awkward.

I really enjoyed the last 30% of the book and wish we would have gotten more of that storyline because it felt rushed, but I also am aware that the majority of focus was meant to be on the ghost storyline.
