Ghosts

£9.99

Nina Dean has arrived at her early thirties as a successful food writer with loving friends and family, plus a new home and neighbourhood. When she meets Max, a beguiling romantic hero who tells her on date one that he’s going to marry her, it feels like all is going to plan. A new relationship couldn’t have come at a better time – her thirties have not been the liberating, uncomplicated experience she was sold. Everywhere she turns, she is reminded of time passing and opportunities dwindling. Friendships are fading, ex-boyfriends are moving on and, worse, everyone’s moving to the suburbs. There’s no solace to be found in her family, with a mum who’s caught in a baffling mid-life makeover and a beloved dad who is vanishing in slow-motion into dementia.

Description

THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER, FROM THE AUTHOR OF EVERYTHING I KNOW ABOUT LOVE

‘Utter BRILLIANCE . . . I absolutely LOVED it!’ MARIAN KEYES

‘An absolute knock-out? Dolly’s voice feels like your very favourite friend’ TAYLOR-JENKINS-REID

‘Witty, touching without ever being sentimental … Hugely enjoyable’ DAVID NICHOLLS
__________________________________________________

He said ‘I love you’. And then he disappeared.

Things that are going right for Nina Dean:

  • She’s found her dream job.
  • She finally has her own home.
  • She’s met Max, a beguiling romantic hero who has swept her off her feet.

Things that are going wrong for Nina Dean:

  • She has the neighbour from hell.
  • Her friendships are fracturing, and so is her parents’ marriage.
  • She hasn’t seen or heard from Max for weeks.

Just as everything ought to be falling into place, it’s all falling apart instead. Nina’s beloved dad’s memory is slipping away from him, and her mum is caught in a baffling mid-life glow-up. Her friends are becoming strangers and her exes are moving on. Everywhere she turns, she’s reminded of time passing.

The last thing she needs is another ghost.
