Finished: Ghosted (Walsh) This was a pretty good page-turning book! Unlike I usually do, I'm not going to give away the huge plot twist, just in case someone reads this. I don't want to ruin the surprise. :-) This is the story of a 38 year old British woman named Sarah who has lived in the states for the last 19 years since a tragic accident ripped apart her family, which at the time included her parents and her 12 year old sister, when she was only 19. Back in town to see her parents, Sarah makes it a point to visit the sight of the life-altering accident on its anniversary and happens to meet a local man named Eddie. The have an instant connection, with equal interests and easy conversation and spend the next seven days together in his converted barn home falling in love. They both have painful situations, Sarah, her past and Eddie, dealing with his mentally ill mother. They think it's crazy that it happened so fast, but they both can't deny their feelings. Eddie has already got a holiday planned with a buddy to Spain, but he promises to call Sarah, even from the airport. Sarah promises to extend her stay in the UK and meet him at the airport when he lands back in town, where they will then figure out the next step of their future together. Only....Eddie never calls, and he never shows up at the airport. Despite messages from Sarah that get more and more frantic, Sarah doesn't hear a word from Eddie. She tries to convince her friends that something must be wrong, but they just think she's been "ghosted" and that she'll never hear from this guy again. Sarah knows the feelings were real, and she is heartbroken, and determined to get to the bottom of things. What follows are a few revelations that show neither of them had been completely truthful with the other in those 7 days. I'm not going to give any more of a recap than this, because I really don't want to spoil it. :-) A nice, suspenseful, summer read.
