Break ups are something Alderton writes well about, with her recounting how Nina and her ex broke up as well, and I loved it because it was so good to see an amicable break up and exes be really close friends. Although ghosting is a modern-day colloquial term, it’s something that’s been around for a long time. As someone who has experienced a couple of friendship break ups it was so nice to see one done really well, how the little frustrations build up over time to erupt. Book Review: Ghosts by Dolly Alderton Written by Julie Dickson Ghosting: Ending all communication with someone without warning and seemingly falling off the face of the earth. It is a theme that is clearly important, with the friendships that Nina has being written so well, from the little things that irk her about her friends, to the friendship break ups that she experiences. Although I don’t want to compare the two books too much, in Everything I Know About Love Alderton reflects on how most of what she knows about love has come from her female friendships, and I think this also shines through in Ghosts.
