Last Girl Ghosted
by Lisa Unger
Last Girl Ghosted is the latest standalone thriller by Lisa Unger. This is only my second novel by this author. The story revolves around Wren as she navigates the perils of online dating. She quickly falls for Adam who she meets on Torch app but after a whirlwind romance suddenly Adam ghosts her. Thats when a detective comes knocking because Adam isn't who he says he is and Wren might be in more danger than she realized.
Lisa Unger weaves a complex and deeply dark thriller that had me turning page after page. While the main character is Wren, we also get chapters which focus on Wren's childhood, Detective Bailey Kirk as well as the other women who dated Adam. The story is told in third person.
I loved the ultra modern setting based in current times. We hear about recent events such as covid, bushfire in Australia etc but they aren't focused on, its just enough to remind us that this is set in present time. I love that the story included new trends like podcasts, influencers and dating apps. Im from the generation who is used to dating this way and found it relatable and engaging.
The book was well paced. At no point did it get stale or boring, each new part was fresh and interesting. The tension builds to the thrilling conclusion. While the twists werent exactly difficult to guess, the story was unique and entertaining. The ending wrapped things up well with no cliffhanger.
Overall, this was a great, quick and fast paced thriller which I thoroughly enjoyed and would highly recommend.
