Summary:
She’s funny, cynical, and kinda crazy, but she knows how to tell a story.
A struggling writer living in Manhattan, Jacy McMasters is the first to admit she’s a terrific liar and a screw-up. Then the ghost of the famous novelist JD Balinger asks her to “channel” a follow-up to his classic coming of age book, The Watcher in the Sky. Along with her new boyfriend, a bear of a man who has no patience for mind games, the ghost in Jacy’s head forces her to confront a lifetime of secrets—dark secrets. Secrets she’s been keeping from herself.
Review:
I have read from Mickey J Corrigan in the past and her books have not disappointed! Same held true with The Ghostwriters. I was pretty curious about this book because I felt like the synopsis pulled me in, yet didn’t give too much away and kept me guessing even before I read the first page. This quick read had so much depth to it and really didn’t play around. It was straight to the point, a little messy and gritty, and quite the thought-provoking read.
4 stars
