Queen B’s Decree: Ghosting had a really interesting premise. Our two characters Zoey and Miles are both ghostwriters, but as a dating service? Maybe it’s the fact that I’ve never internet dated, but I was blissfully naive about all these dating apps. I never would have guessed or thought that someone would hire a ghostwriter to help write your Tinder bio or help slide into someone’s DMs.
Youths…
Our Hero Miles has been dumped recently and is living on his best friend’s couch, so when his job goes fully remote, he resorts to staking out the coffee shop and poaching their wifi. That is where he meets our Heroine Zoey. A recent transplant from California, Zoey is finding NYC overwhelming and the nearby coffee shop is becoming her newest workspace.
This is where the war for “the table” begins. The competition is fierce. Additionally, their ghostwriting clients match so Miles and Zoey start catching feelings for each other…without realizing it. Ghosting is a super slow burn, and the story is over halfway done before their romance starts to flourish.
My main criticism is that the story was a bit overly wordy and slow. Also Miles started off as a bit of a dick, and he really didn’t redeem himself by the end. But Zoey and her fairy godmother Mary? Both hundo percent amazing. In fact, Mary stole the show and my heart. What a wonderful character.
