I thought this book would be a straightforward romantic comedy about getting ghosted after it was pitched to me as the "must-read rom-com of the summer," but oof, was that assessment wrong! Although Ghosts follows a year in the life of 32-year-old food writer Nina Dean in which she does, in fact, get ghosted by a man she's dated for three months, this story is a full, multifaceted picture of Nina's life beyond her current relationship status.Īside from accurately portraying the fallout of a partner ghosting you, Ghosts examines the idiosyncrasies of adult friendships - particularly those that have grown from childhood - and explores the hopelessness of watching someone you love struggle with dementia. So when I was given an opportunity to read her newest book, Ghosts ($21), ahead of its August release, I took it as a sign and dove right in.
I'd heard Dolly Alderton's name from other book-loving friends in reference to her first book, Everything I Know About Love, but never got around to reading the memoir (we all know how the ever-growing TBR list goes).
