THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER, FROM THE AUTHOR OF EVERYTHING I KNOW ABOUT LOVE

Narrated by Holliday Grainger, star of Lady Chatterley's Lover, Tell it to the Bees and Animals.

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.

Reviews

Witty, touching without ever being sentimental, hugely enjoyable It's incredibly moving. The idea of believing in everything and nothing in the same moment. The female friendships were beautifully drawn Ghosts is wonderful. Funny, sharply observed, poignant, and full of truths about life and love and friendship. This debut novel is a tender, effervescent and deliciously well-observed guide to the complexities of thirty-something life Ghosts is an absolute knock-out. Wickedly funny and, at turns, both cynical and sincere, Dolly Alderton's voice feels like your very favourite friend. I devoured it A sharp-eyed debut . . . Tests the boundaries of what used to be called chick-lit There are sharply skewered set pieces, but also tender observations . . . a promising, deftly written, often entertaining and poignant debut novel Loved it from start to finish, really laugh out loud: well-written, packed with ideas and observations and so engaging I can't put it down I absolutely adored it. So clever and funny and such a treat. The pages really did turn themselves A stunning achievement: I was laughing out loud, doing my best a few minutes later not to burst into tears and then angry that it had all come to an end. So moving, so funny, so beautifully written and so poignant. Brilliant Expand reviews
