I wanted to love this so much.  But I couldn't connect with Miles and Zoey.  It just moved too slow for me.  While they had great banter between each other, I just couldnt connect. I did enjoy Tash's writing, especially all of the emails and messages added.

This was a hilarious, fun twist on Cyrano/You’ve Got Mail with fun characters, fantastic banter, and some of the best absurdist humor I’ve read (Hotel the !!!)

I had a difficult time getting into this book. I did not find the characters very relatable and I did not connect well with them. I really wanted to enjoy this book, but it just wasn’t for me!

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the advanced digital copy of this book!

This book was amazingly cute! It’s the perfect everything read. I loved the cute banter, the argue over the “good table” and free biscottis, and how they had such similar jobs, that happen to I think be a little of our worst nightmare, that end up benefiting the good. It’s like The Hitch in book form. 

Writing style was excellent, you stayed engaged, and rooting for them even in their low or not so flattering moments. Definitely recommend!

Ghosting.. A love story

Thank you #netgalley for an advanced reader's copy of this book in exchange of the honest review! The book is written by two authors @sarvenaztash and @skiltongram under their pen name @tashskilton.

This was a cute romcom story based in New York. It was a light, quick read where Zoey and Miles are ghost writers, working for their clients to find them a match on dating sites. As it turns out, they have been communicating with each other online (as some one else) however they have met in real life and regarded each other with nothing but animosity. 

The story has some really fun banter between the two main leads along with some sweet love stories (such as that of Miles' parents). There was also Zoey's vulnerability and Miles' firm belief in fairy tale love stories that makes these characters stand out! Lastly, I haven't been to the US but the way New York is described in this book makes me want to visit it asap! 

The book released on 26 May and I would recommend grabbing a copy ! I would give it 3.5 stars out of 5 stars.

I ate this book up like candy. I love the Cyrano de Bergerac storyline with the two Dating profile ghostwriters. It was perfect. The best part of this book was that the main characters and most of the side characters were people of color. Definitely not something that is usual in a rom com or romance.  The girl was just quirky enough without going over the top and Miles was adorably geeky and charming.

This book begs to be read in a hammock with a glass of wine and dark chocolate.

I can't believe I'm about to say that I enjoyed this hate to love romance! Ok, it wasn't exactly hate to love, but they definitely were snarky to each other in the beginning. This was a cute romance about two ghost writers who were both writing for different dating websites. They each have a client they are helping find love via dating websites, and they do that by typing for them. They don't realize that actually they are falling in love with each other (because they don't know the other one is a ghost writer).
Some parts of the book were in the slower side, but all in all I thought it was a good read! I feel like we could have done without the boss' chapters because those were just weird. I did enjoy that this takes place in a city (I love city stories)! I'd definitely read more by this author and thought the idea was very clever for a romance.

I loved everything about this modern romcom! Chapters alternate first person POVs and it really works in this book. Our two main characters are very well developed and believable with their own distinct voices. This novel had me engaged and entertained from start to finish, with numerous laugh out loud moments! 

Special thanks to NetGalley and Kensington Books for providing this e-ARC in exchange for an honest review. Full review on @goodreads, this book is out now!

I did not like the plot of this story. It was hard for me to follow and I disliked the characters. I feel like the author was trying to make it too modern, and it did not seem realistic to me.

I received an advance reader copy of this book in  exchange for my honest review.  I would like to thank the author, publisher and Net Galley for the chance to read and review this book.

I'm not the target audience for this book, but I really enjoyed the story.  And it left me very grateful to be an "old married woman" and not needing to deal with dating!  Cause - wow!  Hiring ghost writers for your dating profile sounds a bit extreme, but I don't doubt that some would resort to that.  Knowing what to write in a bio - or book review! - can be rather difficult at times!

Overall, though I enjoyed the story of Miles and Zoey - and that of Jude and Bess - the book did move rather slowly overall.  The emails from the boss intros to each chapter got to be annoying as well,e because it felt like it should be important, but really didn't add anything to the story.  A few lines of comment from each character could have explained that silly work story line.  And some of the out-there points - Hotel the for example - were just a little too out there.  For me, at least.  But overall, I enjoyed the story.  The characters were fun to get to know and silly in a realistic way.  I didn't ever really come to the point of cheering on the characters, and I'm not sure I'd want to be friends with any of them in real life, but they were entertaining, and I enjoyed the book.

Thank You NetGalley, Kensington Books and Tash Skilton for gifting me an advance copy of this book in exchange for my honest review. 
	If you’re a fan of enemies to lovers books, you are in for a treat with this romantic comedy! A love a good slow burn romance, I typically find the pace of romance novels to be way too fast to be realistic. The first half of this book focuses on their careers and the ghost writing aspect to the book and in the second half we start to really see sparks fly! 
	This book is the perfect pick me up palate cleanser after a heavy read or a down slump. I would read these two in another book.

This is a well written and entertaining romantic comedy that was a perfect distraction.  Native New Yorker miles and reluctant transplant from LA zoey bump into each other and immediately create a rivalry based on their fight over the free day old biscotti.  Both of them are starving artists and unknown to them they have the same unique job - ghostwriting for clients on dating web sites.   Miles is trying to put his life back together after his fiancé cheated on him and got pregnant by the other guy.  Zoey is trying to come out of her shell and embrace life as a New Yorker.

Reading slump suck! I tried to read but then I just stopped reading. This is a slowwwww burning story and I almost DNF this book lol

Btw I felt confuse at first but then I realized there are two point of views lol from Miles and Zoey. They work as a ghostwriter for a different company who help people with their online dating profile and I was like who the hell use that kind of service? Especially when they chat with the potential matches on behalf of their client asdfghjkl but yeah this is a modern world so maybe this thing does exist. 

I don't like any of them and the only character that I like was Mary, Zoey's ex boss aka friend. 

Thank you Netgalley for Ghosting: A Love Story ARC!

This was so cute. I was intrigued by the concept and totally drawn in by Miles and Zoey's love story.  I breezed through it quickly, and thoroughly enjoyed the time I spent in their world. The first kiss was one of my favorite scenes.

A couple things kept it from being a 5 star read for me.

1) Miles's daddy dealbreaker. This came from left field for me. I know he'd waxed poetic about the baby his ex was having and there were some things with his family, but that was maybe at a level 3 or 4 and then he's at 10, no baby, no Miles.  

2) I also didn't totally buy that Miles wouldn't send Zoey some sort of message after his ex came by. For four days. Esp when they lived across the hall from each other? Didn't seem like something he would do after coaching his clients to end the chat properly instead of ghosting and this was after one conversation.

3) The "hotel scene" felt out of character. Their romance had such a good slow burn and then all the sudden they bang it out. It kinda came from out of nowhere.  Again, Zoey had advised her clients about jumping into the sack too fast.

4) The pot smoking didn't seem necessary? I"m not against it, but it just seemed like a thing that didn't need to be there? Maybe this was because we met Zoey and she wasn't smoking? There were a few funny bits related to it with the ex delivery guy and maybe this existed for those bits?

So altogether a great 4 star read that I enjoyed a lot. Will definitely be reading more by these authors.

I thought this book was going to go in a different direction. I feel like it missed the mark. It had the potential to be sexy and funny and just so much fun. It's not a bad book at all, but I wanted it to be hotter, and spicy.

Thank you Netgalley for the early copy of this book. 
I enjoyed it so much. It was completely different than anything I’ve read before. The characters were absolutely delightful and witty, fun and entertaining. The plot was very interesting to me. I really liked the book.

I absolutely LOVED this book. It was classic romcom at its very best - It reminded me of old-school romcoms from the 90s like When Harry Met Sally and You've Got Mail and I couldn't get enough of Miles and Zoey! Funny, sweet, and romantic, with just the right amount of edge, it was the perfect temporary escape from the heartbreaking reality we are all facing right now. I never would have guessed it was written by two different authors either. All I know is that Fame Adjacent by Sarah Skilton is on my Kindle and will now be pushed up in my TBR. I hope these two co-write another novel because I will absolutely read it.

Quick synopsis: Zoey and Miles are writers for competing companies who employ ghostwriters to help struggling singles on dating websites. The two come into contact in the real world, as well as unknowingly through messages, as they are going through their own personal struggles. .

I really liked this book! It recently came out last week on May 26th (happy belated #pubday 😄) but I was lucky enough to get an ARC from @netgalley. I thought both of the main characters were interesting and relatable without feeling stereotypical as characters in romantic comedy novels can sometimes be. The writing was witty and told an interesting story.The setting of New York played a huge role. I could totally imagine Zoey's experience as a new to New York resident (especially since I'm also from the west coast) and I could feel the love Miles felt for the city. The book dealt with the themes of love, heartbreak, trying new things, parent relationships, and being a struggling Millenial. .
.
If you were wondering, ghostwriters for dating apps actually exist. As someone married to my high school sweetheart I never fathomed this type of service might be available! It was fun to read about and gave the title "Ghosting" a double meaning as it describes the ghostwriting and times different characters experienced being "ghosted," or basically ignored by a potential partner. 

If you are looking for a book that is lighthearted and fun while still telling and interesting story, I'd recommend it!

I thought this was going to be more about ghosting and like experiences people had, but the title did not make sense to me. A few time I was like what is even going on in this book, and I was wondering if I was reading the same story I saw on the cover?

I guess people can ghostwrite for dating sites? I dunno but it must be real if its in a book. They ghostwrite for people on dating sites. Zoey has come from LA and Miles is just gutted that his ex is having another dudes baby. Plus, Miles and Zoey are often at the same cafe and fight over who gets the window seat. So they like each other online but don’t get along in real life. Pretty interesting, right? 

This book was okay, but I didn’t always like hw the chats were set up. Why have their thoughts next to the online conversation? It was confusing to me. It was sweet to watch them fall in love, but the rest of the book Was lackluster. And i still didn’t know why it is titled how it is since neither of them ghosts the other?

Ghosting: A Love Story by Tash Skilton

Funny, Heart-warming, Gives you all the feels story.
I burned thru this bad boy in a day! It's that good. The author really makes it easy to relate and fall for these enemies to friends to.....well you have to read it to find out story. I was rooting for a happy ending right off the bat and boy oh boy this story does not disappoint. Fun and fast read that will leave you wanting more.

5/5 Stars!
