Walsh has created a deeply moving romance with an intriguing mystery and a touching portrait of grief at its heart. . . a romantic, sad, and ultimately hopeful book that’s perfect for fans of Jojo Moyes.” But that’s where the charming romance ends. On day seven, Eddie disappears without a trace, and when Sarah does eventually find out what happened to him, her life is turned upside down. Eddie could not be further from the man she thought him to be. Thanks to the all of my lovely Traveling Sisters for the lively discussion. It’s always a riot reading everyone’s take on the same story and finding out what one person hones in on, compared to another. Looking forward to our next one. 💜 I couldn't stop reading once I started -- it just grabbed me and wouldn't let go -- Rachael Lucas, author of Finding Hope at Hillside Farm

There’s a major twist, which threw me for a loop and finally drew me into the book. But then more and more twists come, which I just didn’t find necessary. Why couldn’t we just get a straightforward, heartfelt read and have characters face their fears and emotions instead of putting things off continuously?A gripping romance about a whirlwind love affair gone wrong, with a blinder of a twist * Good Housekeeping * Incredibly crafted, huge depth, amazing characters and beautiful prose. I loved it -- Cesca Major, author of The Last Night and The Silent Hours My heart ached, then raced, then skipped a beat, then did it all over again until I finally put this book down.

But then Eddie “ghosts” Sarah, who cannot comprehend why the love of her life would vanish without a trace. Sarah verges on obsession trying to find out what happened to Eddie and begins to question whether or not there time together was real. Amazing, beautiful and wonderful. I cannot express enough how much I enjoyed this gorgeous book -- Milly Johnson, author of The Teashop on the Corner and The Perfectly Imperfect WomanI can’t move past the idea that we can never truly know anyone, let alone someone we’ve spent a few days with: I’ve written a whole book about it. And for that reason I do not – cannot – believe in love at first sight. Gorgeous. Walsh has created such strong characters, and so much warmth. The way she writes about love and longing is just beautiful.”

So when he leaves for a long-booked holiday and promises to call from the airport, you have no cause to doubt him. But he doesn’t call. Your friends tell you to forget him, but you know they’re wrong: something must have happened; there must be a reason for his silence. What do you do when you finally discover you’re right? That there is a reason — and that reason is the one thing you didn’t share with each other? The truth. The Man Who Didn’t Call by Rosie Walsh – eBook Details Thank you so much to Edelweiss, Pamela Dorman Books / Penguin Publishing Group and Rosie Walsh for the opportunity to read and review an advanced copy of this book. Since I never felt the romantic tension between the characters, I could care less about whether or not they got together and the air of mystery keeping them apart just made me more frustrated. Had we seen them together, perhaps my feelings for them would have grown. But alas, they did not.The Man Who Didn't Call - UK title or Ghosted - US title -has published in 35 languages. I still can't believe it! When life finally pulls these two lovebirds out of their romantic cocoon, Eddie promises Sarah he’ll call…BUT…he never does. Will I read another book by this author? No. The writing was good and I’m sure she will have long career but I’m not into her type of stories. That’s okay. Not every authors style will match what a reader is looking for. A perfect read if you loved Me Before You or One Day -- Sarra Manning, author of You Don't Have to Say You Love Me I highly recommend Ghosted to readers who are looking for a story that digs a little deeper into the emotional side with a twist that might leave you surprised. If you are looking to connect to these characters based on their relationship and love story alone this might not be the one for you. As always we recommend you give it a try to find out where you might land with this story.

It took until I reached the 50% mark for me to get into this. I found the first half boring and Sarah’s obsession with Eddie began to grate on my nerves. Since the reader only gets glimpses of her time with Eddie vs. being immersed in their time together, I didn’t feel their connection and began to wonder if Sarah was mentally ill. I was going to DNF and began scrolling through my tbr to plan my escape. But I had some questions about Sarah and came up with a crazy theory, so I kept on reading to see if I was right about her--I was completely wrong. Ghosted starts off a bit slow and weighted down a bit as we are introduced to a story that seems like boy meets girl and they fall in love, but there is much more going on in this story than meets the eye though. For some of us we started to see a different story here hidden in the coincidences of this love story that really isn’t a love story. This is where we started to split as some of us did not buy into the love story and wanted to see more into the relationship between our two main characters Sarah and Eddie. Sarah blinded by love and what started off as an intense happy feeling of love and bliss soon turns into an obsession of thoughts as Sarah tries to find out the truth. Walsh’s book dragged at times and she was redundant at several points throughout the book with the theme but overall Walsh created a story worth the finish. But what I do believe in, wholeheartedly, is risk-taking. I was willing to take a big risk when I met my partner, and I believe completely in Sarah when she takes a big risk with Eddie. Because that readiness to put ourselves in emotional danger is what makes love exhilarating and beautiful, for me – it has nothing to do with some sense of destiny as your eyes meet those of a stranger’s across a room. Stayed up till 2am to finish it last night! Loved it -- Sophie Hannah, author of Did You See Melody?

A gorgeous love story with a dark secret at its heart. Beautifully written, this is full of tenderness, humour and warmth - I adored it -- Lucy Diamond, author of Something to Tell You
