This one was so cute! I love Sarah’s writing and have had to read all her stuff since I first read Josh and Gemma’s stories! I truly can’t wait for what she writes next!

I loved the paranormal bits with our MMC being a ghost and felt reminiscent of The Dead Romantics with their growing feelings when they can’t be together.

Definitely recommend this one on audio as the narration was so well done! Thanks so much to the publisher for my ARC!

The narrator of this audiobook is FANTASTIC! She really knows how to bring this story to life (pun intended).

I love the plot/storyline of this audiobook and the whole falling in love with a ghost part.

The characters in this audiobook are full of great personalities.

This book would make a seriously cute rom-com movie.

This was my first paranormal romance book and it will likely be my last. It was just weird to me, falling in love with a ghost. I couldn’t really get attached to Jillian, and the side characters were lacking, in my opinion. The descriptive writing was good, and I could picture the scenes really clearly. I listened to the audiobook and loved the narrator, she did a great job, but towards the end of the book I found myself speeding up the rate so I could just be done with it.

Thank you NetGalley and the publisher for the ALC.

Before getting into the review, know that I listened to the audio book.

Overall I enjoyed it. I think the concept of the book was very interesting, projecting your soul into time to save yourself and the person you end up falling in love with. The second epilogue where it’s how they had met the first time that set the story in motion was so fun, I feel like it could be played at the very beginning and it would have the same effect. The only thing that I simultaneously loved and disliked was how descriptive this book was. I loved it because it helped me visualize what has happening and I could clearly picture everything in my head. I disliked it because I was so invested and just wanted to know what was gonna happen.

What I was happily surprised by is that we got to see both sides of one knowing the other while the other has no clue who they are. I do feel like Jillian might’ve had the easier go if it since Daniel was essentially a ghost. Jillian essentially being a stalker toward Daniel was off-putting. I cannot offer an alternative for what she could’ve done, but I was cringing just a little. The miscommunication between the characters is inevitable with the concept of saving the other, and I usually don’t enjoy this trope but since it works so well it didn’t bother me like it usually does.

The narrator was great, but randomly switching to a male narrator for the second epilogue was weird. I know it’s from Daniels pov, but she narrated the whole book so when it randomly switched it threw me off.

Found this really difficult to listen to as the voice gives very different emphasis to words than I would. Not my cup of tea at all. Great idea, just not for me. Found it irritating sadly. Only managed a few chapters so won’t be giving a review as it would be unfair.
Thank you NetGalley for the opportunity to listen.

From the very first page of this book, I was stunned, mesmerised. Written with a ferocious passion that'll knock the wind out of you!

What a cute read! This was my first book by Sarah Ready, and it won’t be my last. I really enjoyed her writing style and her characters. The female main character reminded me of an Ali Hazelwood character, which was really fun - love to see strong, smart women! I also loved the side characters working at the newspaper. The romance was very cute, great chemistry (which can’t be easy to accomplish when half of the equation is a ghost!) and fun banter. Without giving any spoilers, my one complaint would be that the timeline stuff was a little bit hard to follow and I could have used a bit more exposition on how it worked. Otherwise, I really enjoyed this! The audio narrator was excellent - when the narration is done so well that I can crank it up to 3x speed and still understand every word, I know it’s super well done.

Jillian is a dating and relationship advice columnist, but outside of work she just can't talk to men. When her career is threatened, Jillian moves in to a new apartment - but didn't realise it came with a guest. Daniel is a sexy, shirtless, six-pack wielding heartthrob who is also very dead. He’s a ghost. He’s also the only man on the planet who Jillian can talk to. Together they make plans to help the both of them to help Daniel move on with his life.

Sarah Ready gave me a unique twist on the "hot ghost lover" I've been seeing lately. Taking a more sci-fi approach (heads up for Trekkies - there's a lot in this one) to explain things and take the story on more than one journey. I genuinely expected on thing and then before I knew it, it was being turned on its head and we headed in a completely different direction. I managed to binge this is one sitting, however it did feel a little on the longer side as there were some chapters that could have been cut down just a tiny bit more. That is the only reason it never made it to the five star range.

Thank you to NetGalley, W. W Crown and Sarah Ready for an advanced copy in exchange for an honest review. Ghosted is set for release 26rd September, 2023.

DNF at 17%

Initially I loved the concept; I was hoping for either a romcom or something heartfelt but the MCs literally only talk about sex and won’t stop repeating themselves. It’s soooo slow and repetitive

Thanks netgalley for my ARC ALC

Thanks @netgalley for the chance to review “Ghosted” by Sarah Ready. I was instantly sucked into this tale - Jillian is a woman in New York who has trouble speaking with people. Until she meets a shirtless ghost in her new apartment! She and Daniel get to know each other and Jillian comes out of her shell.
I was constantly wondering how Jillian and Daniel could possibly have their happy ending. Beautiful, descriptive language and excellent narration. So sweet.

This was a fun read. Anything Sarah Ready writes I would read. I’ve read all of her releases from this year and enjoyed every single one. Ghosted has some paranormal/alternate dimension vibes. Lots of laughs and some steamy ghosts scenes. Narrator is amazing, surprised at the second pov at the end.

by the second conflict, i was waiting for it to end. it took a minute for it to come together for me because it felt like one thing after the other that kept preventing our main characters from being together. it did wrap up up in the end, especially with the second epilogue. i appreciate the underlying message with it being associated with fate and parallel universes and destiny.

I thoroughly enjoyed listening to Ghosted by Sarah Ready.

Of note: I had this book as an audiobook so I cannot comment on grammatical or physical text issues.

Going into this book, my only concern was that the premise seemed close to that of the movie “Just Like Heaven” and I was afraid it would be a retelling of it. Although similar in ideas in the beginning, the author really makes this story one of her own with the quirkiness of the characters. It had an easy flow to the story that made me want to see where the characters would end up. I have never read this author before and her humor and way of storytelling in this book has me interested in looking into other writings of hers. Occasionally some of the scenes or inner monologue are cringe worthy where you feel embarrassed for the character or you think she is overdoing it and slightly immature (think the scenes you cringe during in movies like “How To Lose A Guy In Ten Days”), however it was a fun book to read with a rom-com nature and very entertaining. I would definitely recommend it as an easy read with some occasional darker subjects and grief touched on.

I was drawn into the narrator of the book. Her voice seemed to match the character well with the additional of the male narrator occasionally (Rob Brinkman). Audiobooks are my saving grace for along commutes. I am a listener who must enjoy the voice to get through an audiobook and I felt that Sarah Naughton matches the character well and really gave you a feel for the story.

Overall, a good read/listen with fun characters and humor.

Thank you NetGalley for the opportunity to review Ghosted in the audiobook version.

After loving French Holiday by this author earlier this year, I jumped at the chance to listen to this one. As I’ve come to expect from Ready, the writing is fresh and funny, with the perfect amount of spice. There’s also an underlying vulnerability to the MC that makes her easy to love. The paranormal aspect of this plot made it a bit complex which led to the book being almost 500 pages. It started to drag on for me by the time I got to the last 20% or so. If this could have been edited down a bit, I would’ve rated it higher, but I still liked the story overall.

My rating: 3.5/5

I was so excited to see that Sarah Ready had a new book since The Space Between was an easy 5 star read for me. Unfortunately this one just didn’t work. It started out on a high note with so many funny, laugh out loud moments. But as the story went on, it just felt way too insta-lovey for my liking and I found myself rolling my eyes more than once. Also, this book could very easily have been 100 pages shorter. That, and a faster pace and this would have been a more enjoyable read for me.

This was such a breath of fresh air. First of all the cover is so pretty. A ghost rom-com?! Yess!!! I really enjoyed reading Jillian and Daniel’s love story. My heart was definitely put through a roller coaster of emotions throughout this. Everything works out in the end. And then the second epilogue my goodness. Also I really enjoyed the narrator who read the audiobook.
*thank you to NetGalley for an arc.

It's great that it's on read now. I got audio and ebook both versions. I loved the audio, it's descriptive and interesting. Narrator did a great job. Wow ❣️ 👌 a lovely story. Beautifully written book. Full of emotions and laughter and romance. I didn't read fantasy or paranormal books but I loved this one. Gripping from the first page till the end. Finished in one day. Jillian and Daniel both have great chemistry and their easy banter feels super sexy. Loved the ending and 2nd epilogue as an alternate timeline. Highly recommended,

Such a unique and fun listen. I didn’t understand how there were 2 narrators when really only one narrates for 99% of the story.

4.5 stars.

Sarah Ready does it again!!! This is my third audiobook I have listened to and they just keep getting better! This was such a cute Rom-Com. The narrators Sarah Naughton and Rob Brinkman were absolutely a joy to listen too. It was so hard for me to stop listening. I fell in LOVE with Jillian and Daniel. This was such a unique and wonderful love story that kept me engaged to the very end. I can't recommend this book enough. DON'T sleep on this one.


Thank you NetGalley and W. W. Crown, Independent Book Publishers Association (IBPA), Members' Audiobooks for allowing me to listen to this ARC in advanced for my honest opinion.

After reading Sarah’s last release and falling in love with her writing and story, I had high hopes for Ghosted. It absolutely is another fave read and Sarah Ready is fast becoming an instant buy author for me!

In this paranormal romcom, Jillian is the Star Trek loving nerdy girl that cannot talk to men. Like at all. When she moves into her own “uniquely decorated” apartment, she realizes she’s not alone. Enter Daniel. The super hot, shirtless…ghost. Do ghosts exist? Can this be real? What happens when Jillian is asking herself these same questions and trying to find answers and then finds love. This is such a fun spin on the “unfinished business” ghost trope (is that a thing?!).
Sarah Ready takes us on an emotional rollercoaster with her beautifully written story of Jillian and Daniel’s journey to find and keep an undying love and answer fate’s call.

I laughed, I cried, I cheered and had giddy smiles while reading this book. Thank you Sarah Ready for continuously writing stories that manage to steal my breath and my heart!

Thanks to @netgalley #wwcrown for an ALC.

These are my own honest opinions on this audiobook.
