LAST GIRL GHOSTED



SYNOPSIS

When Wren Greenwood meets a good-looking stranger from a dating app, she expects a casual fling – but they connect immediately. Adam Harper is her perfect match.

She falls for him.

She confides in him.

And then he disappears… his profiles deleted, his phone disconnected, his Manhattan apartment emptied.

First, Wren blames herself. Then she hears about the other girls – girls who fell in love with Adam, and are now missing.

Wren needs answers, but as she follows the breadcrumb trail Adam left behind, it leads back to her own dark past. Suddenly, she’s no longer sure if she’s predator or prey.

She only knows one thing: whatever it takes, she’ll be the last girl he ever ghosts…

REVIEW

RATING: ⭐⭐⭐💫

I had never read any Lisa Unger until last year when I read Confessions on the 7:45 and absolutely adored it. It was so dark and twisted I could not unglue myself from it.

Last Girl Ghosted sounded like it was gonna be another big hit for me, and initially it was, but I don’t know what happened halfway through but I found myself losing interest in the story, not finding any of the excitement I found in her previous book. 

When Wren met Alan on a dating app she didn’t expect to fall in love with him, but she did, so when three months later he mysteriously disappears, leaving no trace at all of his online presence, she is flabbergasted. Even more once she learns that she was not the only one and that he might be implicated in the disappearance of another three girls.

The beginning was so good. I got immediately drawn into Wren’s story and her relationship with Adam. It was dark, engaging, with hints of a traumatic past…I was completely in until the story started to focus on Wren’s past. I didn’t find the direction it took particularly interesting (not really a fan of survivalists’ stories) and found there were too many inner musings and lots of unreasonable and not justified decisions.

Towards the end the tension came back but I found some dialogue a bit cheesy and the ending not really surprising (I guess I was hoping all the time for some of the same kind of twists I loved in Confessions in the 7:45).

Although it started really good, with a really powerful premise, it went into a not so enjoyable direction for me (there was even some hunting, which I totally hate). Despite this it was still a quick read and some of my most trusted bookish friend loved it, so maybe it was just me.

Thanks to NetGalley and HQ for providing an eARC in exchange for an honest review.
