Abandoned by Booklikes

Good lord I want to tell Sarah to get a grip. She’s all over the place and obsessed with Eddie and why he’s not talking to her. She’s gone to his FB asked people do they know if he’s okay and she now knows he’s fine (she saw him online) and he’s just not responding to her.

Walsh shows us the first day they met and it countdowns to their last day together. I honestly am not getting chemistry between these two. They just seem to be having a lot of sex and not discussing their lives.

Walsh also dangles pieces of Sarah’s life out to us. Sarah misses her sister Hannah, Sarah left England as a teen after something happened and lived permanently in the US after. Sarah is reluctant to stay for long at her parents home. And in between these revelations we have a letter that it sounds like she’s writing to her sister. Sarah is also not divorced, just separated, but still friends with her husband.  That’s another relationship I’m baffled about. 

All in all we’re seeing supposedly a strong businesswoman who runs a huge charity who is losing her grip cause a man isn’t calling her back. Two of her best friends are baffled by her behavior, but they also have some big things happening to them and she’s oblivious to it. Same with her best friend Jenni back home. Everything is about Sarah and why Eddie isn’t calling her back.

I thought that this book would have a lot more mystery than it does.But there’s really not, there’s no mystery going on that I can really see besides Eddie’s a jerk and Sarah is naive.  Maybe we’ll get to something later but it’s not there yet. Also the romance portions of the book are not good.

I’ve been ghosted twice. The first time I couldn’t believe it since I was going out with the guy for three months. We also had mutual friends so they were ticked at him. I haven’t seen him since. The second time was someone I talked to for several months. Technically he ghosted everyone since he said he needed to be focused on himself and he shut down his FB and other social media. We eventually reconnected last Fall and things were tointoka again for a while, but he disappeared again after his birthday in May. I just decided toniteven try to reach out again. People who ghost unless it’s for safety reasons are assholes.
