Romance Suspense

By chance, on a trip to the English countryside, Sarah Mackey meets Eddie David and they instantly fall in love. They spend seven blissful and romantic days together until Sarah has to return to London for work and Eddie goes on a long-planned vacation. Both promise the other to keep in touch and figure out how to make things work even though Sarah lives in LA, and Eddie is in the UK. But after some unanswered texts, Sarah not only starts to worry, but she wonders if she imagined their immediate attraction.

Feeling like she can't make sense of things, Sarah turns to her friends for advice. Her friend from high school, Tommy, tells her to forget about Eddie, that he's just one of those guys who leads women on. But her close friend and colleague, Jenni, believes that if Sarah and Eddie really did have a strong connection and that Sarah is truly falling for Eddie, she should do whatever it takes to find out what is really going on.

As Sarah returns to LA, still hoping for any message from Eddie, she begins to reflect on the events in her life that led to her eventual meeting with him... Was their chance meeting actually a coincidence? Or are they connected in a way that neither expects?

GHOSTED by Rosie Walsh is an intriguing and thoughtful look at the surprising ways we are all connected. Sarah and Eddie's immediate and passionate love comes on strong, and neither can deny there's something more than just a fun and sexy fling between them. But when Eddie seemingly falls off the face of the earth, Sarah can't let it go. The more she thinks about things, the more she tries to find Eddie and discovers he's not in grave danger, the more Sarah begins to wonder if they really met by chance. Rosie Walsh weaves an interesting mystery, with some heartbreaking and surprising twists. The story did lag in the middle, and Sarah is somewhat annoying at times, but the set up for a big reveal makes for a worthwhile and satisfying conclusion.

SUMMARY

Six perfect days. Then he disappeared. A love story with a secret at its heart.

When Sarah meets Eddie, they connect instantly and fall in love. To Sarah, it seems as though her life has finally begun. And it's mutual: It's as though Eddie has been waiting for her, too. Sarah has never been so certain of anything. So when Eddie leaves for a long-booked vacation and promises to call from the airport, she has no cause to doubt him. But he doesn't call.

Sarah's friends tell her to forget about him, but she can't. She knows something's happened--there must be an explanation.

Minutes, days, weeks go by as Sarah becomes increasingly worried. But then she discovers she's right. There is a reason for Eddie's disappearance, and it's the one thing they didn't share with each other: the truth.
