The Ghostwriters

The interesting twist of an idea of a ghost author helping a real author in the synopsis drew me in. A gritty true feeling story to read that kept me guessing along the way. Wasn't disappointed at all.

I loved this entire book ! Channeling a famous writer who just happens to be dead, to help you wrote not only an amazing but bestselling book? Amazing and then with all the added twist of phycosis and all the death and depression Jacy struggles with a truly amazing piece of work that I hope many generations continue to read because the understory is there and wow a powerful message with it !

4 weirdly interesting stars🌟🌟🌟🌟”

you are an interesting chick. Weird, but very, very interesting.”

Perfect quote from this book... you could substitute the word chick with book and that would describe this book perfectly.....

Let me start this off by saying this is not a ghost story.... please do not let the blurb turn you off from this book.... this also is not a romance.... although there is a love interest (and he really is quite divine) that part of the book really takes a backseat to the true story.... The dark character study of Jacy...

Jacy is really a hot mess.... your first impression of the girl is that she is a spoiled brat who can’t seem to figure her life out so she is still living on mommy and daddy‘s dime.... but as the book goes on you find out that her life has been one epic tragedy.... and truth be told if I had lived her life I’d be a hot mess too!

Jacy is a likable, interesting, weird, and sarcastic character.... I truly liked her from the get go and as I learned her story I liked her even more and I definitely understood her better.....

Yes, she is ghostwriting a book for a ghost... yes, she makes some poor decisions when it comes to her personal life... yes, she has the mother from hell.... but sometimes things aren’t quite as they seem....

This was a really good book, kind of took me by surprise.... makes you wonder why some books are better received than others... this book is definitely as good if not better than some pretty high profile books I have read this year....

then why not five stars? Because this book took a little turn in the middle and it really took a lot away from the momentum of this book for me.....

I would definitely recommend this to people who enjoy character driven stories with quirky dark characters and a little bit of a slower pace.....

*** thank you too Net Galley for a copy of this book and exchange for my honest review***

Even if I am more a "cozy mystery" type I was fascinated by this book with all the complexities and twist.
Highly recommended if you want a well written book

Mickey J Corrigan has given us a fantastical adventure into her mind which I found sad,amusing,disturbing all at the same time.
Jacy McMasters is a struggling author and part-time waitress - waiting tables at weekends to finance her drinking and bar hopping on weeknights. On one such night she is picked up by an older but good looking man who turns out to be a famous author albeit recently deceased !!
Not really my idea of an enjoyable read but the writing style was good and there were some parts which were quite amusing..

Thank you for the copy of this in exchange for a review!

This was such a fun read, as Jacy was such a hot mess! It was fun to be inside her head as the plot unfolded. I am going to find more books by this author in the near future!

Great idea for a book and really well executed. A thoroughly good read. Highly recommended. .
