Alderton, Dolly A smart, sexy, laugh-out-loud romantic comedy about ex-boyfriends, imperfect parents, friends with kids, and a man who disappears the moment he says "I love you."Ni na Dean is not especially bothered that she's single. She owns her own apartment, she's about to publish her second book, and she has a great relationship with her ex-boyfriend—and enough friends to keep her social calendar full and her hangovers plentiful. And when she downloads a dating app, she does the seemingly impossible: she meets a great guy on her first date. Max is handsome and has a stable job. More surprising than anything else, Nina and Max have chemistry. Together they create an entire universe of private jokes and chemical bliss. When Max ghosts her, Nina is forced to deal with everything she's been trying so hard to ignore: her father's Alzheimer's is getting worse, and so is her mother's denial of it; her editor hates her new book idea; and her best friend from childhood is icing her out. Funny, tender, and eminently relatable, Ghosts is a whip-smart tale of relationships and modern life. Show more
