Ghosts
"A smart, sexy, laugh-out-loud romantic comedy about ex-boyfriends, imperfect parents, friends with kids, and a man who disappears the moment he says "I love you.""--
The bestselling razor-sharp debut novel by the author of Everything I Know About Love
He said 'I love you'. And then he disappeared.
Things that are going right for Nina Dean:
She's found her dream job.
She finally has her own home.
She's met Max, a beguiling romantic hero who has swept her off her feet.
Things that are going wrong for Nina Dean:
She has the neighbour from hell.
Her friendships are fracturing, and so is her parents' marriage.
She hasn't seen or heard from Max for weeks.
Just as everything ought to be falling into place, it's all falling apart instead. Nina's beloved dad's memory is slipping away from him, and her mum is caught in a baffling mid-life glow-up. Her friends are becoming strangers, and her exes are moving on. Everywhere she turns, she's reminded of time passing.
The last thing she needs is another ghost.
