Description:
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?
Adele’s Review:
This reviewer thoroughly enjoyed reading Clarie, Darling. This compelling psychological thriller kept me awake late into the night to finish the story, and I loved every minute. The author offers a modern twist on a seemingly familiar tale and then surprises us with an original storyline.
There are lots of mixed reviews on this book, but I found the novel to be highly entertaining and well written. The characters are well drawn. My empathy for Claire stayed with me to the last page. I can’t imagine why she wants to reconcile with a man who dumps her so callously and hurts her so badly, but her passion for Noah blinds her to the truth. No spoilers here. You’ll have to read the book to learn more.
