Listening to Ghosts on Audible made me realise that finding a character annoying when you’re reading is very different to when you listen to a book.įranny, you are an unbearable woman, the kind that takes “kill them with kindness” to a whole new level. Hen do’s are such a weird environment, everyone invited is good friends with the bride, however, the other guests don’t know much about each other. It’s even worse when we are that individual, we overthink and get into muddled up situations.Īnother part of the book I could relate to (how much I related to this actually shocked me) was when Nina and Lola went to Lucy’s hen do.
It’s the individuals in our life who make things way more complicated than they need to be. His excuse for ghosting her being the lousy “it got all too intense” when all along it was him who pushed things forward! I recently saw a comment on Instagram which said: “All men have is the audacity”, this is what I thought of when Max went back to Nina. What really got me out of all the waiting Nina did was the cheek of Max. It’s the hopeful picking up of the phone after a few minutes of not being on it, or rushing out of the shower to check if you have a text message but your phone turns out to be completely empty. We spend countless hours/days re-living the little encounters and waiting for that person to text you. After their break-up, Nina gets stuck on Max for a while, re-reading text messages or playing games of “if I do this he will text back”. The “relationship” doesn’t last very long as Max is a commitment-phobe and not very honest about the extent of it. She’s an ex English teacher and a writer who goes through her day to day life, experiencing day to day things.
Nina isn’t a well-known lawyer whose marriage is falling apart, or she’s not in a scandal which will ruin her life. The book is real in the most non-dramatic way. One episode was about dating apps, the other about mother and daughter relationships and the irritation that comes with it. I felt like I was listening to a podcast rather than a book. I think the most gripping thing about Ghosts is how relatable it is.
