Description

Broken hearts are better left broken.

That has been my motto for the last seven years.

I keep everyone out. Even the music that beats through me.

Until I meet Noah Taylor.

He cracks the ice.

Brings music back to my life.

He makes me believe my dreams are within my grasp.

But the ghosts of my past refuse to stay put.

And they might put out the fire inside of me forever.


Broken hearts are better left broken.

That has been my motto for the last seven years.

I keep everyone out. Even the music that beats through me.

Until I meet Noah Taylor.

He cracks the ice.

Brings music...

Oh my cliffhanging heart!
Ghost of You was one heck of a painful ride, full of past heartache and future growth.
Both Anna and Noah are both suffering from broken hearts, regrets and painful memories.
Fate steps in and throws these two together again and again, with a few missteps and shoves from friends like Seraphina, who was an absolute hoot, so funny! And Mason, the flirty goof ball.
I cannot wait to get to some answers in book 2!!

This is the first book of a duet. A great story, quick read, and, had me hooked from page one. Neighbors Noah and Anna both have had a traumatic ending to their last relationships. Years have passed for both, it takes their friendship plus their family & friends to make them see they are ready to move on. Add in meddling brothers, sassy best friends to round out the book. Can not wait to see how this plays out in book 2.
Will be recommending to others.

Thank you to NetGalley for the advanced copy in exchange for my honest review.

Omg I just finished this book and while reading im like oooh this is definitely a four or five star read! Now that I'm done I'm so mad if like to give it two or one star! But because it was such a good book I cant!! Now the reason?! it's a freaking cliffhanger!!! Ugh I hate them with a passion! I don't mind if both books are out and that's just barely! Well now I can't wait for the next book! I'm still mad tho lol don't miss out on this book it really was a great book! But beware it is a CLIFFHANGER!! Thank you NetGalley and the publishers for sharing this book with me!
