## Description

FROM THE #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF BIG LITTLE LIES AND BIG LITTLE TRUTHS A “sharp and funny romantic tale.”— O, the Oprah Magazine Ellen O’Farrell is a professional hypnotherapist who works out of the eccentric beachfront home she inherited from her grandparents. It’s a nice life, except for her tumultuous relationship history. She’s stoic about it, but at this point, Ellen wouldn’t mind a lasting one. When she meets Patrick, she’s optimistic. He’s attractive, single, employed, and best of all, he seems to like her back. Then comes that dreaded moment: He thinks they should have a talk. Braced for the worst, Ellen is pleasantly surprised. It turns out that Patrick’s ex-girlfriend is stalking him. Ellen thinks, Actually, that’s kind of interesting . She’s dating someone worth stalking. She’s intrigued by the woman’s motives. In fact, she’d even love to meet her. Ellen doesn’t know it, but she already has.

Review: great book - I loved the way this book was written. Great read while pregnant. Was happy with the ending and how everything was tied up.
Review: Leaving a warm and fuzzy feeling - (3.5 stars) Liane Moriarty's books "Three Wishes", "The Last Anniversary" and "What Alice Forgot" are some of my favourites on my bookshelf, so I was very much looking forward to reading her fourth novel. With her somewhat quirky and unusual but vividly portrayed and likeable characters, Moriarty has provided yet another enjoyable read - one to look forward to after a hard day at work, putting my feet up, making a cup of tea, and losing myself in another world for a while. The book tells the story of Ellen, a thirty-something hypnotherapist longing for a fulfilling relationship but getting more than she bargains for when she falls in love with Patrick, a handsome widower and single father of eight-year-old Jack. But as Ellen soon discovers, Patrick comes with even more baggage than his grief for his dead wife: a stalker who is following the new couple on every outing, leaving messages, even breaking into Ellen's house and masquerading as one of Ellen's client client. Ellen discovers that this mystery woman is Saskia, Patrick's ex-girlfriend, who had been his partner and a loving mother to Jack for three years until Patrick suddenly broke off the relationship. Always willing to see the best in people, Ellen does not get angry or jealous, but instead feels a strange kinship with the woman Patrick so despises. It is a credit to the author to be able to make the character of Saskia not only believable, but also likeable, and enable the reader to understand her pain, emotional turmoil and motivations for her actions, however wrong or strange they may seem. Probably the one thing I like best about Moriarty's books is that they leave me with a warm afterglow, believing in the good in people. Contrary to most other people's reactions, Ellen does not get jealous or hateful when confronted with Patrick's ex-girlfriend stalking them, but tries to understand her pain. Who else does that? But through Ellen's kind-heartedness, and Saskia's first person narrative, the reader also gets the chance to feel empathy for Saskia rather than disgust over her actions. I love to be reminded that there is always a flipside to every story, and that it is better not to judge people unless we have been in their situation. As Saskia tells her story, I felt more and more drawn to her, feeling her pain. Of all the characters in this story, Patrick irritated me most for the best part of the book, and only partly redeeming himself in the later pages (so much for being non-judgmental!). Written with insight and humour, this is a novel which will warm your heart and make you smile. A nice break from my usual fare of murder mysteries.

### ⭐⭐⭐ Decent story but not much happens
*by J***S on April 6, 2025*

I was invested in the life of the hypnotist, although it’s kind of funny it’s titled “hypnotist” when the character in the book corrects someone and says they’re not a hypnotist, they’re a hypnotherapist. Anyway, it’s super heavy on inner dialogue like I don’t need to hear every thought, everything about pregnancy hormones, etc. This book could’ve been a lot shorter without every mundane thought. Still, I was invested so that makes it a decent book. There’s no spectacular ending or twists. It literally is the hypnotist’s love story. As a former hypnotherapist, the hypnosis details are very accurate! That part was fun to read. Otherwise, I’m not sure I’d recommend this book. I don’t think it would hold most people’s interest for nearly 500 pages.
