This was such a fun read for me in spooky season. I absolutely devoured this story and will be recommending it to my friends. Now, I'm not typically one who would love a ghost and human romance. Somehow Sarah Ready made it so charming and dare I say believable? No matter, I found the story to be charming, the characters to be likeable and I just had fun reading it. Highly recommend and will be looking for more books by this author in the future.

Thanks to NetGalley and the publishers for an advanced copy of this book. All opinions within this review are my own.

This is one of those stories that you finish and wish you could read again for the first time!
This was far from just an average romcom, it was science fiction with paranormal aspects and time travel all wrapped into the romcom type of story we know and love and it was just so perfect. Daniel and Jillian's characters were so likable and Jillian's coworkers and friends were great as well. I found myself on the edge of my seat and for the last 25% of the book I wasn't sure what was going to happen and literally couldn't put it down so I stayed up late to finish! So heartwarming but also sad at times and funny.
If you want an amazing book to round out the end of spooky season, make it this one! And if you just want a romcom that will make you laugh AND cry at any time for any season then I still recommend this one!

Jillian is a columnist who specializes in dating and relationships while not having much success in her own life. After moving to her new apartment, she meets a man who she does not have any issue interacting with. Problem is... he's a ghost. This was my first paranormal romance. I personally love anything and everything Sarah Ready writes, so I jumped on this before realizing what it was about. This is a fun read with some unexpected twists. Definitely worth the time of someone who is a fan of contemporary romance!

Thank you NetGalley for an advanced e-copy of Ghosted by Sarah Ready. She is a new to me author, but The Space Between is at the top of my 2023 books, so I was so excited to be given early access. This book was so beautifully written, the characters were full of depth and emotion. I never would have thought I'd buy into a paranormal love story, but I was sold right from the first few chapters.
This will be a book I need to own, the cover is so visually appealing and will no doubt look fabulous on my
bookshelf.

I loved this one. It was such a cool story line. This is such an easy 5 stars for me.
Thanks netgalley for a chance to read it.

This was a really fun take on a ghost story with the perfect mixture of science, science fiction, anguish, sweet, and spice!

Romance - 3.5*

A sneaker! I, usually, don't enjoy novels that stretch the boundaries of believability, but this one snuck into my heart and stayed there.

Jillian's first night in her new apartment finds her sharing it with a ghost. This ghost is shirtless and sexy. Even though she normally cannot talk to men, she finds herself conversing easily with this ghost. Blech, right? Wrong. It turns out to be wonderfully sweet and entertaining.

Jillian is a scientist who writes a relationship column for a magazine/newspaper publisher. Her ghost's name is Daniel, but he doesn't remember much. He doesn't think he's dead, but he has no form and only Jillian can see him. What other explanation could there be? Jillian consults a psychic and her best friend, and she decides that she and Daniel are meant to help each other with something before he can move on.

Normally, I would have probably DNF'd this book. I don't need to read a book that combines the movie "Ghost" and the movie "Just Like Heaven" and others you could probably add to the list, however the author's writing and the sweetness of the characters sucked me in.

That's not to say it was perfect. The whole premise is a little farfetched. I liked that Jillian and Daniel, both needed each other to become better people, but did they both have to be gorgeous and other basic tired story lines? If you can get over that, you will find a lovely, sweet, mostly PG-13 romance.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for my ARC of this novel.

Ghosted by Sarah Ready is absolutely adorable! Jillian is a young woman who loves Star Trek and writes a romance advice column. She also is incapable of talking to men. When she moves to a new apartment, she meets Daniel. He's a gorgeous, shirtless, and the only man she can talk to easily. He's also dead.

I loved every character in this book. Even the side characters and characters who appear briefly are memorable. The writing is visual and emotional; I could picture this making a great movie or miniseries. Jillian is truly a nerdy protagonist (aka isn't just "I'm a nerd because I wear glasses"), which was fun to read. I'm used to romance books being very predictable, but this one had some directions that I didn't see coming. Overall? Really loved this one.

Thank you NetGalley and WW Crown for this copy in exchange for an honest review!

I liked the concept of this one, but it felt a little disjointed to me. Dead Romantics was very similar to this, but I think the execution was better. This was almost like reading two different stories, two different books. The characters both seemed so different in the first half vs the second half.

The FMC starts off having issues talking to men in general, obviously doesn't have that issue when it comes to Daniel's ghost, and then like a switch, she all of a sudden doesn't have that problem and can talk to anyone in the latter half of the book. Not to mention, all the scenes where she's trying to talk to someone else but using him to do it were all really awkward. Not to say there aren't people out there who have a problem just like this, and I don't want to undermine what I'm sure are some very valid feelings, but it was pretty uncomfortable to read and a little cringey.

And because Daniel was a ghost and didn't have his memories, he just wasn't the same character as he ended up being in the second half when he's alive, so there was a lot of awkward moments.

Plus, they're both fully in love before we even hit the halfway mark, which felt super rushed. So yeah, this one had some potential but didn't quite hit the mark.

"Ghosted" by Sarah Ready is a cute and quirky romantic comedy that took me a bit by surprise! I went into the book more or less blind and was pleasantly surprised by it. The story follows Jillian Nejat, a dating and relationship expert with one major problem - she can't talk to men. Enter Daniel, a hunky, shirtless, six-pack sporting ghost who takes up residence in her new, dirt-cheap NYC apartment (with mirrors!).

With her career in shambles and her dating life in a decade-long slump, Jillian reluctantly agrees to let Daniel, the charming ghost, resurrect her love life. What follows is a hilarious and heartwarming journey filled with practice dates, confessions, and unexpected feelings.

Sarah Ready's writing is witty and engaging, and I enjoy the main characters - my only complaint is that the book felt unnecessarily long. "Ghosted" is the perfect book if you're looking for a lighthearted read, it's like a Halloween Hallmark movie!

This book was amazing! The description was so vivid and this book kept me up all night. I definitely recommend it!

I can’t put it into words how much I loved and adored this book. Everything felt so real and i miss them so much already? Undoubtedly one of my top read this year. So loved and adored it.

My thoughts:

I’m absolutely loved Jillian and Daniel. Their love story is heartwarming, tragic, sad and hopeful. I also just may have to hug my kindle after. Its that good. Especially if you’re a fan of unexpected twists and turns. We get so used to the typical romance formula but that got flipped a bit and I liked that it’s a book that’s keeping me guessing. I adore Jillian’s and Daniel’s family & Jillian’s close friends. They’re there to support both main characters. If you love Just Like Heaven with Reese Witherspoon, you will love this book! This is my first book by the author & it will not be the last. Ghosted is turning into the perfect Romcom October read and one I’d definitely recommend checking out. I’m also listening to it & loved both narrators. I want to thank NetGalley, W.W Crown and the author herself for both my audio and e-book copies

what is not to like about this. must read and enjoyed this one. I was hooked from the first page and will read more.

Thank you to Netgalley, the publishers and of course the author for gifting me this advanced reader copy in exchange for an honest review.

YES! THIS BOOK! It took me right back to my childhood reading the mediator books by Meg Cabot crossed with the film Just Like Heaven!

It gave me all the feels and was hilarious too. I can't imagine what I would do in that situation but also want to be in that situation! Jillian who really needs to get her shit together, moves into a cheap NYC apartment only to find out it is already occupied by Daniel - who is a ghost..and super hot! However he also ends up being the only person Jillian can talk to and she soon finds herself in a complicated paranormal romance!


Loved this book, 5* all the way

Thanks NetGalley for the opportunity to read this fantastic book! I LOVED this book. It was such a fun and light hearted read. The characters were what made me devour this book. This book is cute, fun and full of laughs.

Take this with a grain of salt because I seem to be in the minority but I did not care for this book. I found the dialogues very cringy. The main character can only be described as sheltered. I also felt the book was too long

I have read a few books by Sarah Ready this year and unfortunately this was the least enjoyable for me. It wasn’t terrible but I found the characters and their motivation hard to connect with. If I had a ghost in my apartment and only knew his first name, I would absolutely be doing some research on who he is and how he died. The ending did pick up but the middle section of the book was too much of slog to get through. I am yet to not finish a book but I came close with this one.

This is the first Sarah Ready book I’ve read, so I had no expectations. Ghosted caught my attention because of the synopsis, and it really didn’t disappoint me. The idea of the plot itself seemed great and original because I had not read anything similar before.

And surprise! I didn’t expect to like this book as much as I did, although I must admit that before the second part I wanted to DNF it but my curiosity to know more about how the story was going to unfold won. I’m glad I kept reading it because it’s worth A LOT!

It could be said that the story is divided into two parts, I liked both but in the first part, I got a little bored until BAM! The plot twist happens (which I wasn’t expecting) and it made me get completely hooked on the story again, it becomes faster pased with some twists and turns, I could’t stop reading it.

Jillian and Daniel’s story moved me and i found it so magical (maybe thanks to my hopeless romantic side), it was just too entertaining and fun to read. Sarah Ready knows how to bring humor and personality to the characters and the story itself.

The book takes place in NYC, which is something I loved since I had been wanting to read a story based in NYC and it perfectly captures the vibe and the places, I felt like I was really transported there.

I liked that the romance between Jillian and Daniel was something destined and universe-like, the author played very well with this situation giving us a kind of a multiverse/different dimensions. I also really liked the secondary characters and the fact that Jillian is a geek.

The only thing that felt kinda off for me were the spicy parts with Daniel as a ghost, like the author nearly described them as if he weren’t a ghost at all, at least for me they felt weird.

This book is perfect for contemporary romance, rom-com, and paranormal with a mystery vibe fans. Also for Trekkies! (Star Trek fans)

I’m looking forward to reading Switched, the second book in this series, which features the story of Jillian’s best friend.

I received this ARC from NetGalley for an honest review. Thank you!

Jillian is a relationship expert but is incapable of speaking with men and wants to have a relationship. She moves into a tiny apartment in NYC but in this apartment already lives a ghost, a sexy man without a t-shirt, Daniel.

She can talk with Daniel even if he is a man but he doesn't count because he is already dead. Daniel figured out that his mission was to help Jillian to have a relationship and to fall in love. so Daniel proposes that Jillian go on dates with men and he will be with her to help her speak with her date.

They began to spend time together and became friends. Slowly, they fall in love but know their relationship is impossible. They were happy for their little time together and Jillian learned to be confident and forgive herself for her mistake.

Suddenly, Daniel is gone and Jillian doesn't know what to think or if she will see Daniel again. Now, she has to figure out her life and how to live how she deserves it.

I liked this sweet love story and the characters Jillian and Daniel and supporting characters. I recommend this story to everyone who loves ghosts.
