I really enjoyed reading this book. The idea of a company that takes care of your flirting online sounds really cool taking into consideration that not everyone it's that good with words. I mean, I would have never imagine such thing could be a job but now that I have heard of it sounds amazing!

Miles was such a nice character, life has been hard on him but he tries to find a way to move on no matter how hard it turns out to be. While Zoey likes very much her comfort zone, and I saw myself in her. She's really used to her routine, to keeping her business to herself and going through life in peace. But it is also truth that there are times when we can not have everything under control, so even if Mary seems a little weird I liked her, she wanted what was best for Zoey and helped her find her way. I wish everyone got a chance to meet a Mary in his/her life.

The authors created characters that felt pretty real and put them into situations anyone could live, and that's what makes of this a great book. At the beginning I felt like the story was a little slow, but it gets a really good rhythm soon and it get pretty interesting. I'm number one fan of romance, so of course I love the way the love story developed. 

I would like to highlight the ghosting thing, it's something that happens a lot in real life and I loved that the authors tried to make us understand how bad is to practice ghosting, if you don't want to talk to someone anymore, do tell them! It's awful to feel like you did something wrong, to not know what happened, so please be a good person and never do it! 

In summary, this is a book I would totally recommend to people who enjoy reading love stories as much as I do. I found it to be a really creative story that got me eager to find out how everything was going to turn out.

Thank you Kensington Books and Netgalley for this arc. 

I give this book ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️. Its a story about two ghostwriters from rival dating companies, both based in New York. They have a love and hate relationship, and both began to develop some sort of attraction with the person they are trying to set up their clients, and then their own love story begins. 

I am not familiar with ghostwriters, so this story is intriguing to me. Miles and Zoey seem to have a balance of similarities and differences, and that makes them perfect to have a relationship. All the characters are developed individually and not just romantically, and I think that is great. The story is charming and funny.

Thank you to Kensington Books and NetGalley for this ARC in exchange for my honest review.

I had high expectations for this book and it met each and every one of them.  A Cyrano inspired romance, a twist of modern dating, and New York City all meet for this romance.  I whole heartedly recommend if you're interest in

Enemies to lovers
Zoey, still recovering from childhood trauma, a recent transplant to New York who has trouble moving beyond her safe home circle

A secret hotel that no one can find, that has questionable lighting
Close proximity
A slow burn that is worth the wait

I am now desperate to see Undersea and meet Mary, I'll get over the fact that they're not real at some point.  Despite taking part in a real place, this book crafted amazing supporting characters.  Miles was refreshing, a male character who knew what he wanted out of life, including children, loved love, and wasn't embarrassed about it.  I really enjoyed how each chapter started with the work e-mails adding another fun, snarky spin to the story, a great device to move the plot forward.

I hadn't heard anything about this book when I downloaded the advanced copy via NetGalley so I didn't know what to expect.  It was so much more enjoyable that I had expected.  I loved the characters and their flaws and how they lost and found themselves.  Highly recommend.

In Ghosting: A Love Story, Miles and Zoey work for rival dating sites, where they feed lines to their clients in order to woo potential love matches. Miles, recently dumped by his pregnant fiancé, and Zoey, sent to New York from LA by her eccentric boss, meet at a coffeeshop and engage in a rivalry over the best table in the shop. Unbeknownst to them, they’ve already met – their clients on each respective dating site are dating eachother. In this fun twist on a modern-day Cyrano, Miles and Zoey slowly start to fall for eachother, without realizing who the other person is! 

This story was SO CUTE. It is a slow burn, but I didn’t mind it at all. You get to dive deep into Zoey’s and Miles’s motivations and desires before they meet eachother, which sets up a really strong story. I also loved being able to truly understand Zoey’s relationship with her parents and Mary, while also seeing Miles’s relationship with his own parents and his cousin Aisha. It makes every character three dimensional, instead of just using people as a way to move the plot along or provide basic support to the main characters.  Miles and Zoey have such distinct personalities, and it’s fun reading their quips and snide remarks directed toward eachother. Lastly, while this story draws heavy inspiration from Cyrano de Bergerac, it doesn’t feel overdone and dry and instead creates a fun, new narrative. 

Ghosting: A Love Story is perfect for fans of Tweet Cute, or the movie How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days. Thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for loaning me a copy in exchange for my review!

I want to thank Netgalley for providing me with this book in exchange for my honest review.

This book was adorable. I was pulled in by the synopsis and couldn’t stop reading until I finished it. I love the main characters. Zoe reminded me a lot of myself and I really loved reading her journey. Miles was equally amazing and totally adorable. I enjoyed reading their story. The dialogue was hilarious and I found myself laughing out loud a few times which is always a sign of an awesome book for me. The whole storyline was amazingly done it didn’t feel rushed or slow it flowed perfectly.
I gave this book 4 stars.

This was so cute! I did not want to put it down.

Miles and Zoey had the perfect meet-cute/meet-ugly, as well as great backgrounds and baggage to fully flesh them out. I got annoyed at Miles occasionally (there were moments where he was just downright mean to Zoey), but, ugh, their banter was so fun. And I would love to know more about Mary - she was a delight! I think she could (should?) have her own book. The same for Evelynn (is her entire cafe vegan or is that just the "vookies" because if she is...I want more of her story). Really, I found all of the side characters and what they had going on to be enjoyable (or insufferable, case in point Zoey's parents).

Honestly, my only real complaint (and this might have just been a formatting issue) was that at times, it was hard to distinguish texts/messages and thoughts.

Other than that, Ghosting really checked just about all of my boxes!

This was a cute story about two individuals who ghostwrite for people looking for love.  I did not know how to feel about this from the beginning since I have never heard of this concept before but apparently it is a real thing that people are getting involved in.  This is the story of Zoey and Miles who work for 2 competing companies (each owned by a former member of a married couple) who specialize in helping individuals create new dating profiles and teach them how to interact with matches in order to find their one true love.  Zoey and Miles both take on new clients and without realizing it they are speaking to each other while assuming the identities of Jude and Bree who are looking for love and are tired of meeting the wrong people.  Slowly Zoey and Miles start to fall for the "fake" interactions with their respective potential mates.  While in "real life" they are mortal enemies at a local cafe for the biggest table by the window and day old baked goods.  

I really enjoyed the love story not only developing between Zoey and Miles but also between Jude and Bree.  It was nice to see it play out for both couples especially when they all start being their authentic selves.  Also, Zoey as a character was charming and watching her growth from a girl who missed LA and hated New York to a girl who was comfortable riding the subway by herself was great.  

Thank you to netgalley and Kennsington Publishing for allowing me to read this ARC in exchange for my honest review.

This was such an enjoyable book. I loved how it was about 2 people who were ghosterwriters for dating sites. It was such a unique take on the traditional dating app and sites books.
   I did enjoy the romance between Zoey and Miles and how it started with fighting over the best table at a coffeehouse and little did they know they were falling for each other online posed as different people.
 It's a fun, witty and romantic book that I flew through!

So this book is a like a slow burn love story *sigh* that takes a long time to happen. It’s about Zoey and Miles who are ghostwriters for dating services who are like in an online relationship *smile*  but in the real world they argue about the best spot at the cafe *laugh*It’s such a cute book that reminds me of You’ve got mail.

I really enjoyed this book. Zoey and Miles are the kind of characters that you know in real life. You have friends or family like them and this will make you laugh even harder when reading this book. They work for competing ghost writing companies who are helping people write better dating profiles to find true love but both of them think they suck in their own love life. They are modern matchmakers per say. They also both live in New York and Miles loves it and Zoey is new here and is not loving it yet. She’s full of fear of it. She is also poor and not liking Miles cause they are fighting over a table and free biscotti that’s a day old in their favorite cafe. This book has wonderful characters and the scenes are wonderfully written and I love the Harry met Sally vibes it gives. I enjoyed it and made me laugh during a time that has been difficult.

If you find yourself missing 90s RomComs, and wishing for something a little more up-to-date, this is the book for you. There was a lot I loved about Ghosting, which between it's Carrie Fisher-esque wingman character (Queen, I miss you), and it's snappy dialogue and quirky set up, felt so much like When Harry Met Sally, Sleepless in Seattle, You've Got Mail - and in almost all of the best ways. 

Miles and Zoey work for competing companies as 'ghostwriters' for a matchmaking services. When they start a table war at the same cafe, they're unaware that this fact. 

In all reality, this is probably a 4.5 star book - it would have been a 5 star if Miles and Zoey hadn't completely driven me nuts with their utter lack of self-awareness around the 30-40% mark, but thankfully they got better! It was a mere blip of me wanting to smack fictional characters, in an otherwise deeply enjoyable story. It has all the tropes, the pithy dialogue, the meet cute, the slightly unbelievable set-up, that mostly just works. And it also has the honor of holding my attention during this pandemic, which has honestly been something I've been struggling with. I'm going to be recommending this to any of my romcom loving friends, cause it was honestly a delight.

What an original story. This was such a neat premise. Miles and Zoey both ghost write for two rival dating sites to help couples find love. 

I love the wit that the author uses. You can tell she is a fun lady. Also, I loved learning about many places that would be fun to visit in NYC.

I did have a bit of a hard time getting into the book. It was intriguing but did not capture my full attention until about 40% in. This doesnt reflect negatively on the overall book though. I really enjoyed this story. Miles and Zoey were so fun!

Thank you Kensington Books and Netgalley for an advanced readers copy of this novel in exchange for my honest opinion.

"Not to get all hair metal power ballad about it, but love is an illusion. It's just a smokescreen for future heartbreak. Why do it to yourself? Why? Either they'll leave you, or you'll leave them or - best-case scenario - you live together happily until one of you dies and leaves the other one completely destroyed and a shell of their former self."

SYNOPSIS | Miles & Zoey are both ghost writers for rival online dating companies although they don't know that their clients have matched and they're actually flirting (& falling for!) each other.

MY THOUGHTS | I actually enjoyed this one more than I thought I would. I liked the witty banter between Miles & Zoey and found myself chuckling at their coffee shop table rivalry. I really enjoyed the premise of this story and a light & fluffy romantic comedy is exactly what I was looking for right now. For me personally there were too many references to the fictional "Undersea" show and characters that I just didn't relate too or care about.

Y'ALL. If you have enjoyed The Shop Around the Corner / In the Good Old Summer Time / You've Got Mail, this book is a solid contender for the next, modern version. Two people who have a coffeshop meet-cute that spurs a rivalry for day-old biscotti and their favorite table don't realize that they have actually been messaging each other online... because they're professional Cyranos for the lovelorn on dating sites, tidying up their profiles and helping clients get to the moment when they meet in person. Add in a character that is an homage to Carrie Fisher, emotional growth for both leads, and some cute witty banter, and I'm 😍

Admittedly, rom-con is not my go-to genre. I am always wary of cheese and corniness, I want it to feel natural, I want a goofy grin on my face as I root for people who actually seem like real people and not rom-com tropes. But it always feels so hard to find. 

Thankfully, I can always count on Sarvenaz Tash to deliver and Ghosting is no exception. Deliver, she does. I think this might be my favorite of her novels yet. 

I love a slow burn, I love witty banter, I love people who are developed as people, not just love interests. 

I hadn’t read anything by Sarah Skilton before but now it is obvious I’ve been missing out. Looking forward to rectifying that soon.

It took me a hot minute to get into the storyline of Zoey and Miles, but once it hit I was HOOKED. Who doesn't love a, hate to love romance? I wasn't a huge fan of the emails exchanged between the employers and employees at the beginning of every chapter, it seemed completely out of context in comparison to the rest of the story. Luckilly the emails were such a small part of the book. I loved this book so much I preordered a signed copy from The Ripped Bodice bookstore as suggested by the Authors! I can't wait to add this to my shelf! Thank you NetGalley for my ARC in exchange for my hoest opinion.

Thank you netgalley for providing this ARC in exchange for an honest review.
Unfortunately I couldn't get into this modern romance. The author uses too many pop culture references and the characters are so consumed by their internet chatting that the romance seemed to take a backseat. I'm sure its a true portrayal of how modern dating is like but on paper it's just not as interesting. 
I also wasn't crazy about how hung up the hero was about his pregnant ex girlfriend. Just not what I was expecting.

Zoey is recently moved to New York, in order for her to work on her script. But she has to take a job as a ghost writer for a company that helps people with their dating profiles. 
Miles works for a rival company. He’s recently had his heart broken, and has given up on love. 
When Zoey and Miles are given clients, they begin to write to each other. It seems to them that their clients are not a match. But when they meet at a coffee shop, they instantly dislike each other. 
I really enjoyed this story. It was funny, and sweet. And the characters were well written, and you could feel what they were feeling. This story had me hooked from page one. It was written wonderfully and keeps you interested. I definitely recommend this story.

Thank you Netgalley and Keningston for sharing this story in exchange for an honest review.  

The love story is about two ghostwriters for opposing dating sites. Zoey, an L.A. native, is begrudgingly sent to New York by her celebrity boss to peruse her dream of writing scripts. Miles, a New Yorker by heart, was recently dumped by his fiance who is pregnant with another man's baby. Both Zoey and Miles have an unfortunate encounter at a local coffee shop which causes a war over the coveted window seat and an instant dislike for each other. While they work each day at the coffee shop, they have no idea that their clients have matched with one another. So things get more interesting when Zoey and Miles begin to fall for their clients. Will they realize that they are actually in love with each other or will they continue to hide behind their computer screens until the whole thing blows up in their faces?

I have to be honest and say that I really struggled to get through this book. The formatting on the Kindle made it difficult to read. The e-mails from the bosses were really tiny. Also, the author would have the characters send something in the chat on the app but also include the character's thoughts without a font change, which made it difficult to follow. I think I was frustrated with this aspect at the beginning of the book, which made it difficult to love the rest. 

Once Miles and Zoey started forming a friendship, the book picked up again. It was funny to watch them react to their clients dating, but I prefer the romance between the two characters. I loved how the taped tours helped Zoey face her fears of the city and how Miles helped her through dinner with her parents. That being said, I am not sure how the title ties into the plot. 

I would have to give this book a 2 or 2.5 stars out of 5 for formatting, unrelated title, and some romance/character development.
