Staff Reviews


Intriguing and captivating until the very end, Ghosted by Rosie Walsh tells the story of a woman named Sarah who was "ghosted" by Eddie. Told by her friends to just let him go and move on, Sarah does anything but move on. Instead, she searches places he might be and checks his social media accounts for activity. What would you do for love, if you knew with your whole heart this person was meant to be in your life? And what would you do if the reason the love of your life disappeared was because you failed to share something important? This is a beautifully written story of love, heartbreak, and forgiveness with a mystery at the center and an unexpected twist.

— Tricia Leininger

Instant New York Times bestseller!

"I absolutely loved this book and didn't want it to end." --Liane Moriarty, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Big Little Lies

“This is an ‘accidentally stayed up until 4 a.m. because it's impossible to put down’ kind of novel.” --USA Today

Seven perfect days. Then he disappeared. A love story with a secret at its heart.


When Sarah meets Eddie, they connect instantly and fall in love. To Sarah, it seems as though her life has finally begun. And it's mutual: It's as though Eddie has been waiting for her, too. Sarah has never been so certain of anything. So when Eddie leaves for a long-booked vacation and promises to call from the airport, she has no cause to doubt him. But he doesn't call.

Sarah's friends tell her to forget about him, but she can't. She knows something's happened--there must be an explanation.

Minutes, days, weeks go by as Sarah becomes increasingly worried. But then she discovers she's right. There is a reason for Eddie's disappearance, and it's the one thing they didn't share with each other: the truth.
Rosie Walsh traveled and lived all over the world, working as a documentary producer, before settling in Bristol, England, where she lives with her partner and son. Ghosted is her American debut.
