This is so much fun! I love the main characters, I love how the characters have strong backstories and its SO funny!! I'm really loving this!!

I was given a copy of the book from
Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

This book was conflicting; it started out very strong. But eventually I lost interest in it and had to force myself to continue it. I didn’t relate to the characters and felt that their chemistry was lacklustre and their development was almost non-existent. And the plot took forever for anything to happen.

Cute story? Kinda. Would I recommend it? Probably not.

3.5 stars!
Thank you NetGalley & Kensington Books for providing this ARC for review.
Zoey & Miles, both ghostwriters for dating sites. Nemesis in real life due to wanting the same table at their local coffee shop but in the online dating world they start developing a relationship. The concept is very interesting and for me it started that way but there were moments were the story was a little flat and I lost interest. Will say all-in-all it was a feel good story.

All in all , I really enjoyed this book. I believed in Zoey and Milles' motivations and loved watching them work together to overcome their respective life hurtles - often without even realizing they were doing it! It's a fun, quick read and I love New York for the backdrop of this story.

As far as modern romances go, this one was by far one of the more realistic ones. Sure there's a bit of an elephant in the room that if the characters talked about from the get-to would negate the need for much of the plot points. But you know what, I'm here for it! Plus, would it be a rom-com book if there wasn't some big flaw in communication between the protagonists that gets in the way of them eventually falling in love? Probably not.

I received this book "Ghosting: A Love Story" from NetGalley and all opinions expressed are my own. This was a unique type of book for me to read. It started off slow but it did get better. It was fun, silly, and very unusual. The emails were extremely hard to read on the kindle as they were in light type. I liked the banter between Zoey and Miles the best. Who is going to get the best table? haha

I tried to read this I had high expectations but this book felt drawn out and Miles comes off very irritating for some reason. I had to stop reading since I was getting annoyed.

Probably one of the best rom coms for 2020! I'm a huge fan of love-to-hate relationships and this one was so cute! All the stars!!

This was an interesting contemporary romance. While not my usual genre to read, with some adult language and situations, I enjoyed the story. Watching Zoey and Miles compete for the 'big table' at the cafe and a number of other humorous situations kept my interest. Zoey and Miles both have challenging pasts to deal with and their jobs are not secure. They each are ghosting for rival online dating services and as things progress with their clients, they realize things aren't quite what they thought. Readers who enjoy quirky rom com will not want to miss this one. I was given a complimentary copy of the book by KensingtonBooks and was not required to write a review. The opinions are my own.

This one is not for me. Just couldn’t get into it. Maybe a little “young” for my tastes. I did like the writing style and can see it’s easy peasey story appeal to many. Thank you publisher and netgalley for this arc in exchange of an honest review.

This one was a slow burn and I sometimes felt the writing was trying too hard to be quirky with its pop culture references and crazy boss emails. Eventually it progressed and I enjoyed the banter and budding chemistry between Zoey and Miles. I appreciated the characters’ inner monologues, accurate reflections on the dating app scene, and laughed when I realized most people on the internet could use the benefits of these dating ghostwriters.

Overall I enjoyed the story and would recommend to anyone looking for a light entertaining romance that pokes fun at the modern dating scene.

Man, I tried to persevere but this isn’t for me. I feel really bad because I love You’ve Got Mail retellings and this has received other glowing reviews, but I’m having difficulty connecting to the writing style. It wouldn’t be fair to me or the book if I continued.

I really enjoyed this romantic comedy. I loved all of the characters they were great. Miles, Zoey and Mary were my favourite characters. I loved the plot and the idea of dating app ghostwriters. This was an interesting spin and not your typical dating app story. I did find it funny how Zoey made Miles seem like such an asshole, from her perspective when we didn't get those vibes at all. I would highly recommend this romantic comedy.

Ghosting: A Love Story was such a cute light hearted read. ⁣

I have never heard of hiring someone to make your dating profile catchy, and at first I was like man, you are basically lying to get someone to like you; but I guess some people just aren’t outgoing at first and need a little push. The conversations between ghost writers were cute and quirky and enjoyable to read. ⁣

Zoey and Miles had such funny banter between them and I loved every second about their frenemies to lovers vibes. It’s definitely a good cute fast read! ⁣#romcom #ghostingalovestory #books #bookstagram

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

A cute rom-com with witty writing and feel good appeal. This felt like a homage to romantic comedies everywhere. The outline is basic and not in the least original but it always works (which is why it is always used, tried and true). The characters are like able enough, their problems aren’t too problematic and their issues magically resolve themselves with a cloying background soundtrack. That said, it is a super fun, quirky novel which has you laughing out loud and turning the pages.

Ghosting: A Love Story: Tash Skilton

Release date: May 26, 2020

Addictive, heartfelt, and witty; a slow burn rom-com.

Filled with banter and charm, Ghosting: A Love Story, is by far one of my favorite rom-coms of the year. Zoey and Miles are [unbeknownst] rivals as ghost writers for competing online dating services. On a parallel plot, they are also rivals at a neighborhood coffee shop where they compete for the prime working locations and day-old baked goods.

More than just a quick read, happy rom-com, this novel addresses the modern day fallacies of dating and the complications that often follow. I completely fell in love with both characters; both are quick witted and charming in their own ways.

The only thing I didn’t love was the choice of title for the novel. Personally, I’m not sure if its fitting since its namesake holds such a small portion of the book. My opinion would focus more on that part of the novel, I know there is probably a page limit but painting a detailed picture of just how painful the ghosting was, may make the ending not only stronger, but more believable.

Along with posting on Net Galley, I will be posting my review to Goodreads, Amazon (when it becomes available), my Instagram (which has over a two thousand book review followers) and my blog. Please find the link to my blog post below. I am very grateful for the opportunity to review such a fun, exciting rom com. Thank you very much.

DNF. A cute contemporary book. The writing style was enjoyable. I really enjoyed reading from Miles's perspective. I really love the meeting of Zoey and Miles. It was hilarious! But I couldn't get into it. The dating profiles idea was fun, of course, but it lacked something.

Thanks to the publisher via NetGalley for the arc!

Ghosting was an easy book to just pick up and read. Miles and Zoey are both romantic and funny in their own way. I really enjoyed their table competition - I could just imagine me doing that out of spite. I really appreciated that it took a good percent of the book before they really started to fall for each other. I could have used a little more of them actually BEING together, but I am glad they didn't have an argument once then decided they liked each other and that was it.
Would recommend, it was an overall good read. Do not get the impression that it's enemies to lovers (I kind of did) - it's more like irritated acquaintances who form a banter bond.

I voluntarily read and reviewed an ARC of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
Thank you to NetGalley and Kensington books for letting me read this.
This book was a lot of fun. There was quick banter, a pretty fast moving plot, and lovely descriptions of New York City that make you want to dine there.
The meet cute with Miles and Zoey was interesting as it gave them a consistent setting, which added to the feel of the city, and the tone of their relationship.
The topic of marijuana is something not encountered often in rom-coms so that was slightly different to read about. Yet getting drunk is done a lot, so why not?
The side characters were written really well, except that last part with Jordan was a bit predictable. I thought Miles could have handled that better.

Thanks to Netgalley and publisher for providing me an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

In the age of modern dating this book seems apt.It is a cute rom com and can be easily grasped.

You can find yourself relatable with characters at times.


I was quite fascinated by the cover itself and decided to request this book.

I can assure you you won't be disappointed with this one

Cute story. I loved the slow love story, in a world of insta-love. I liked the characters, their jobs were pretty cool. I couldn't help but think throughout the whole books that it should have been titled "Catfish: A Love Story" though. I'm glad both couples had a happy ending and a story to tell
