Ariel's accidental meeting with a handsome stranger called Joe is completely perfect; they have a connection like she's never known before. They exchange numbers and agree to meet when he is back from a trip to France. But when Ariel messages him, the number Joe gave her is disconnected. He's ghosted her. She assumes she will never see him again.
Except she does. Again and again.
Ariel returns to the place she and Joe met, and is stunned to find him there, not in France as he said he'd be, and behaving as if he has no idea who she is.
It turns out that their first meeting has been life-changing for them both, actually it's even more than that for Joe. But what do you do when - with every day that passes - you're literally growing apart from the best person you've ever known . . . ?
What did I think?
Oh my goodness, this beautiful book almost broke me; it’s so emotional and I struggled to hold in my tears at the end. It’s a highly original love story and a very intriguing mystery that ensures the reader can’t bear to tear their eyes away from the page.
Officially a YA book, Ghosted can also be read and enjoyed by adults. Although the characters are teenagers, their age becomes irrelevant as I was swept away with emotion due to the beautiful love story. I absolutely adored Ariel and Joe, a couple who appear destined to be together despite the years that separate them.
It’s like a cross between Groundhog Day and Ghost as Ariel and Joe meet each other for the first time, over and over again. Joe went missing before his school trip to France and nobody knows what happened to him. Ariel is determined to solve the mystery of Joe’s disappearance but in doing so, she might lose him forever.
Ghosted is filled with so much emotion that it is both heartbreaking and heartwarming. The romance and mystery together is a winning combination and I would absolutely love to see it made into a film. It’s a book I would read again and I can easily see it becoming a favourite book of mine; one that I will return to again and again to experience the wonderful story within.
