She’s been ghosted. But she won’t be forgotten.
Claire is excited to drop off a surprise workday lunch for her fiancé, Noah. It’s their anniversary, after all. But when the receptionist tells her that no one with Noah’s name works there, Claire thinks there must be a mistake.
Noah isn’t picking up her calls. Her texts go unanswered. It turns out Noah has a different life . . . one with a beautiful girlfriend, a beautiful house. Claire was never really in the picture.
Desperate to speak to Noah and convince him to return to their dream life, Claire plunges into a nightmarish journey of obsession that submerges her deeper into the murky waters of her own past—a past dominated by a manipulative mother who shattered her sense of self.
Will Claire break free from the ghosts that haunt her? Or will they become more costly than any of Noah’s lies?

They say that hell has no fury like a woman scorned, but what about a woman ghosted? Claire Arundale's life is perfect. She loves her new job, and she and fianc� Noah just celebrated their one-year anniversary with a romantic dinner. Their studio apartment in London is cramped, but they're saving to buy a house soon, so she doesn't mind. The day after their anniversary date, Claire takes lunch to Noah's office to surprise him, but she's stunned to learn that he hasn't worked there in months. Devastated that Noah's ignoring her calls, Claire welcomes help from coworker Sukhi to track him online, finding that he has friends--and girlfriends--unknown to her. Details of Noah's secret life unfold, interspersed with memories of Claire's painful childhood being raised by an erratic single mother. Ugly confrontations lead to the death of Noah's mistress, Claire finds herself on trial for murder, and the perfection crumbles. Kazumi's taut debut keeps readers guessing until the last page.
