Recognized for its heartfelt voice, compelling characters, and page-turning emotional depth, this stunning debut will sweep away readers who love character-driven fiction, slow-burn romance, and stories about finding your own voice. Callie Sheffield dreams of being a novelist, but for now, she’s stuck ghostwriting other people’s stories. Her latest project is a finance book for the boss of her long-time boyfriend, Thomas. Their relationship is safe but stagnant, and with every passing day, Callie feels her own ambitions slipping further out of reach.To carve out some time away from Thomas, Callie takes her laptop to the local library, where she meets Will Pearson, a plaid-shirted library clerk with messy hair, a secret tattoo, and the effortless charm of a millennial heartthrob (think Pacey Witter). Will makes it impossible for Callie to ignore what she’s been missing—but the deeper their connection grows, the more she realizes he has secrets that could upend everything.With Will’s encouragement and the quiet inspiration of her beloved great-aunt Esperanza, Callie begins to imagine a life where she writes her own story rather than someone else’s. But when tragedy strikes, she’s hit with the bittersweet reminder that love and loss often walk hand in hand.Full of millennial nostalgia—Clueless references, 90s music, and late-night Gilmore Girls marathons—Ghost Writing is a cozy, slow-burn romance with just the right amount of heat and plenty of heart.
