Last Girl Ghosted

Lisa Unger Eugene Lang College of Liberal Arts '92

She meets him through a dating app. An intriguing picture on a screen, a date at a downtown bar. What she thought might be just a quick hookup quickly becomes much more. She falls for him - hard. It happens sometimes: A powerful connection with a perfect stranger takes you by surprise. Could it be love?

But then, just as things seem to be getting real, he stands her up. Then he disappears - profiles deleted, phone disconnected. She has been ghosted.

Maybe it was her fault. She shared too much, too fast. But isn't that always what women think - that they're the ones to blame? Soon she learns that there were others. Girls who thought they were in love. Girls who later went missing. She was looking for a connection, but now she's looking for answers. Chasing a digital trail into his dark past - and hers - she finds herself on a dangerous hunt. And she's not sure whether she's the predator - or the prey.
