While visiting her parents in England, Sarah meets Eddie while he is sitting in a village green talking to a goat.  Instantly charmed, she strikes up a conversation which leads to drinks which leads to the most magical seven days Sarah can remember.  She knows it's crazy but she also knows she has fallen in love and Eddie returns her feelings.  Eddie has booked a trip to Spain so they part reluctantly promising to be in touch as soon as he returns, if not sooner.

And then.....nothing.  Eddie just drops off the face of the earth. Frantic, Sarah, a successful executive for a charity she started, finds her life falling apart.  She barely recognizes the person she is becoming.  Could she have been so mistaken about Eddie's feelings for her?  Has something happened to him?  How could she have been so wrong?

Only when they both come to grips with their past, and tell each other the truth, will they be able to resolve their relationship.

(I will admit that I had to look up the definition of "ghosting".  It is defined online as "the practice of ending a personal relationship with someone by suddenly and without explanation withdrawing from all communication.")

Sarah's desperation to find Eddie at first seemed a little hard to believe.  I wanted to tell her that she was being silly, to grow up, that he wasn't worth it.  But gradually, I became as curious to find out what had happened to him as Sarah was.  And almost as frustrated!  If the ending was a little pat, I still enjoyed the journey and finding out just what drove Eddie away.
