Everything gets easier in your thirties, right?
Though she has plenty to celebrate - successful career, new home, loving friends and family - for Nina Dean, her thirties have not exactly been the liberating experience she was sold. From fading friendships to exes popping the question, everyone is moving on (or worse, to the suburbs). And as her dad slowly loses his memories, her mum seems dead set on making new ones.
Then she meets Max, who tells her on date one that he's going to marry her. But what seems like an exciting new development will ensure this year is Nina's strangest yet . . .

Witty, touching without ever being sentimental, hugely enjoyable
It's incredibly moving. The idea of believing in everything and nothing in the same moment. The female friendships were beautifully drawn
Ghosts is wonderful. Funny, sharply observed, poignant, and full of truths about life and love and friendship.
This debut novel is a tender, effervescent and deliciously well-observed guide to the complexities of thirty-something life
Ghosts is an absolute knock-out. Wickedly funny and, at turns, both cynical and sincere, Dolly Alderton's voice feels like your very favourite friend. I devoured it
A sharp-eyed debut . . . Tests the boundaries of what used to be called chick-lit
There are sharply skewered set pieces, but also tender observations . . . a promising, deftly written, often entertaining and poignant debut novel
Loved it from start to finish, really laugh out loud: well-written, packed with ideas and observations and so engaging I can't put it down
I absolutely adored it. So clever and funny and such a treat. The pages really did turn themselves
A stunning achievement: I was laughing out loud, doing my best a few minutes later not to burst into tears and then angry that it had all come to an end. So moving, so funny, so beautifully written and so poignant. Brilliant
