Last Girl Ghosted by Lisa Unger (2021)

 

Think twice before you swipe (from the book cover).

During the early stages of the COVID pandemic, Wren Greenwood meets the prefect man on an Internet dating app. But just when things are heating up between the two of them Adam disappears - all his online profiles deleted and his phone disconnected.  Was Wren ghosted? She is determined to find out exactly what happened and why. As Wren follows up on the things she knows about Adam, she discovers he is not what he seemed and that she is not the first woman to fall for the man she knows as “Adam”. Four other women have come before her and these four are now all missing. These women have one thing in common with Wren; they are all victims of trauma.

The story is told mainly from Wren's perspective over two timelines; present day and the traumatic childhood she has put behind her. The memories will not stay in the past however and Wren is forced to deal with them as she searches for “Adam. There is also a chapter on each of the missing girls. Readers will find themselves rooting for all the characters, even when they’re not acting in their own best interest.

The last quarter of the book makes a hard left turn and although my analytical mind had a hard time accepting it, it was nice to read something that didn’t end as expected. Be forewarned, this is a dark and disturbing story and you will be sucked into Wren’s world.

3.68 stars on Goodreads, 4.2 on Amazon
