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.

"This book like all Liane Moriarty's books, did not disappoint. She has the amazing ability to create and bring to life some of the most wonderful characters! And the narrator... well I could listen to her all day long."
— Sharon (5 out of 5 stars)
“A warmly humorous, gently poignant, ultimately comforting tale of frustration and redemption…Moriarty writes with both frisky wit and a generosity of spirit that’s truly disarming.”
— USA Today“Intriguing…Ellen’s voice is compelling and believable, and readers will appreciate Moriarty’s deft conveyance of a potentially trite topic into the realm of good storytelling.”
— Publishers Weekly“A witty modern love story in the age of cohabitation, blended families, and second chances, this is a compassionate, absorbing tale. Moriarty has crafted an incredibly likable heroine in Ellen…Reader who enjoy Jennifer Close and Marian Keyes will adore Moriarty’s wit and warmth.”
— Booklist (starred review)“Moriarty seems to have a flair for writing about realistic situations that have a twist. Fans of Luanne Rice and Barbara Delinsky will enjoy this title; those reentering the dating world and finding it difficult to navigate will be especially entertained.”
— Library Journal“Amazingly, the effervescent comedy and troubling melodrama combine to create a satisfying beach read, escapist but not unintelligent.”
— Kirkus ReviewsThe Hypnotist’s Love Story is an intensely absorbing, excellently written tale that turns Fatal Attraction on its head—finally! Told with wit, charm, empathy, and plenty of suspense, you’ll regret turning the pages so fast to find out how it ends. Loved it!
— Sarah Strohmeyer, bestselling author of Kindred Spirits and The Cinderella Pact“Spellbinding! Reading Liane Moriarty is like spending the afternoon with a wise, witty, comforting friend. I could not put it down!
