Last Girl Ghosted by Lisa Unger #bookreview
Description
Secrets, obsession and vengeance converge in this riveting thriller about an online dating match turned deadly cat-and-mouse game, from the New York Times bestselling author of Confessions on the 7:45.
Think twice before you swipe.
She met him through a dating app. An intriguing picture on a screen, a date at a downtown bar. What she thought might be just a quick hookup quickly became much more. She fell for him—hard. It happens sometimes, a powerful connection with a perfect stranger takes you by surprise. Could it be love?
But then, just as things were getting real, he stood her up. Then he disappeared—profiles deleted, phone disconnected. She was ghosted.
Maybe it was her fault. She shared too much, too fast. But isn't that always what women think—that they're the ones to blame? Soon she learns there were others. Girls who thought they were in love. Girls who later went missing. She had been looking for a connection, but now she's looking for answers. Chasing a digital trail into his dark past—and hers—she finds herself on a dangerous hunt. And she's not sure whether she's the predator—or the prey.
My Review
Following the online dating trends, it’s not a shock that most people rarely find a deep connection on the apps, but this book will make you second guess your online profiles and just how much you can trust those you match with.
Lisa Unger is one of my favorite authors. In her latest work, I loved how she incorporated our present world into the story, from COVID, to the world of adult dating online.
You can’t help but wonder just how much you can know a person from a few dates, even if the connection is there. Wren wanted love, she was open to it despite her past, which lets all face it, we all have some sort of trauma or past events that keep us from really trusting someone else with our hearts, yet we try anyway in hopes that we find connections.
Five bright and shining stars for this one!
