Ghosts : a novel
(Book)

Nina Dean owns her own apartment, is about to publish her second book, has a great relationship with her ex-boyfriend, and enough friends to keep her social calendar full and her hangovers plentiful. When she downloads a dating app, she does the seemingly impossible: She meets a great guy on her first date. Max is handsome and built like a lumberjack; he has floppy blond hair and a stable job. Nina and Max have chemistry: their conversations are witty and ironic, and 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 and her mother's denial of it; her editor hates her new book idea; and her best friend from childhood is icing her out. -- adapted from jacket
