Moriarty has produced a story of which I could instantly recognize real characters; I loved the main character, Ellen O'Farrell is confident, talks to herself and defends her profession which everyone seems to make fun of;including her snotty mother. The drama comes from her current boyfriend and his ex-girlfriend who is now stalking him. She's especially chilling because she's smart and professional most of the time. My only knock is got a bit long. The story ends as you may not expect and the characters are well-defined.

I really enjoyed this one!

I'm not usually the type to read a love story, but this was my book club's selection for the month. I'm really glad they chose it because I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book. The characters are so real and filled with emotions we can all relate to on some level.

I was excited to read this novel because I loved What Alice Forgot. This book was not as good as that one, nor was it as well written. It wasn't easy to connect with the characters and the story seemed to drag on a bit. The premise of the story is a good one but it just never reaches the depth of interest or suspense that it potentially could have. The stalker is depicted as a benign individual in my opinion and she seems relatively harmless. In all it is not a horrible read, it just isn't as captivating as it sounds.

I liked this book because the characters were quirky. In addition, it
took place in Australia. The stalker telling the story was a great
twist. However, the main character becoming a bit of a stalker was a bit
much. I will read more from this author. I also recommend Three Wishes
and What Alice Forgot

Great read!

A page tuner about the crazy quirks we all have. Exes make us who we are in our current relationships.

Ellen O¿Farrell is living a good life, with a successful hypnoth

Ellen O’Farrell is living a good life, with a successful hypnotherapist career and owning a home she inherited from her grandparents. So what’s missing? A great love. She spends a great deal of time reflecting on how it could be that she’s so good at helping others to solve problems but not so great on her own male relationships. So now she’s ripe for romance when she meets Patrick. Everything feels so right, even when Patrick tells her that his ex-girlfriend is a stalker who follows him everywhere, leaves him constant text messages and phone messages, and even leaves notes attached to his windshield on the car. It strikes the reader as dangerous, as a phenomenon that feels like a foreshadowing of a violent end to someone!
So why is it that Ellen doesn’t feel grossly perturbed by all this but instead focuses on the growth of the care she and Patrick now increasingly share? As the stalking increases, Ellen and Patrick’s life together grows closer. Patrick meets Ellen’s mother and she meets his family. Ironically, both sides seem rather obsessed with the previous relationships had before now. There’s an additional complication with Jack, Patrick’s son by his first wife, Colleen, his first wife who died and whom he loved dearly. But it was Saskia who took care of Jack like a mother and now she has no connection to him at all. One wonders where this is all going.
It will take a “rock bottom” scene for these complex connections to sort themselves out, with all sides having to face some significantly painful truths, clear some outstanding misunderstandings, and learn to move forward having memories of these personalities that cannot help but be part of the past but learning they cannot be part of the present and don’t have to determine the future!
It sounds like a simple plot involving three people, but it’s not as it slowly develops from simple outrageousness to an audacious, panoramic map of how many people from our past inhabit our present lives in more than complex ways. It’s a book about healing the past in order to fully engage and relish now and forever. Very, very nicely crafted mystery/romance fiction, Ms. Moriarty!

Hypnotherapist, Ellen O¿Farrell, has fallen in love with widower

Hypnotherapist, Ellen O’Farrell, has fallen in love with widower, Patrick.  The problem?  He has a stalker, Saskia.   His ex-girlfriend follows him around, sends him texts, and just won’t leave him a one.  This does not scare Ellen.  It intrigues her.   She wants to meet Saskia, what she doesn’t know is that she already has.  The stalker is one of Ellen’s clients.




This was an easy book to read and get into.  The dialogue  was natural and easy to follow.  Even easy to feel as if you are part of the conversation.  By the end of Patrick and Ellen’s date where she learns of the stalker I was needing to know who the stalker was and how Ellen would handle it.   I had more fear of Saskia than Ellen and Patrick seemed to have.  This bothered me.  Especially due to the fact that Patrick has a son, Jack, who was also being followed by Saskia.  I wanted Patrick to go to the police and file charges to be a man and get his life back, and to keep his family safe.  He needed to step up and protect the ones he loves.




I really enjoyed that this story was told from two point of views.   Ellen’s and Saskia’s views were so opposite while telling of the same event.  Ellen’s curiosity about Saskia intrigued me.  I am not sure that I could be as calm as she was if I was in the same situation.  I felt pity for Saskia, which was something none of the other characters in the book felt for her.  Saskia needed help, major help, and everyone seemed to feel that if they ignored her she would go away.




The Hypnotist’s Love Story was a creative story with some dark moments.  I truly enjoyed it and will recommend it to all my friends.

Couldn't put it down

I basically ignored my husband all day yesterday because I couldn't put his book down. It is very well written and I was fully involved and emotionally invested in the various outcomes for the primary characters. Every character grew, developed and matured as did their relationships. Very satisfying.

The book was pretty good and the plot was interesting. There we

The book was pretty good and the plot was interesting. There were a few parts that seemed to drag on, which would be why I give it 3 instead of 4 stars. Some things that the stalker did were a little unbelievable, but then again, isn't that why you are reading a chick lit book in the first place? :)

Very Different Story Line

I found the story quite interesting. Though some of the introspective portions go on a bit long, the story it self is lovely. I enjoyed reading it!

To mikky

The way you gey rid of this book is you go to the book,press on it and then press the archive,that should do the trick and if that doesnt work then im sory, so should i get this book or is it jusy all about freaking sex?

Enjoyable

This is an enjoyable and thoughtful read. Good escapist literature that also gives you a different perspective on character and love. Self and otherwise.

Great Read!

Started out a little slow but then I couldn't put it down. I LOVED Saskia's point of view, you felt sorry for her even though she was doing those crazy things. Funny how it almost made you hate Patrick at times. Great Book.

Way overrated

I found the story interesting but the writing just went on and on......and on and on. I felt like I had to read pages and pages and pages......and pages to get a single event described. Two points of views are shown and the storyline had so much potential but I just didn't like the author's style of writing. I finished the book just to see how it would end but I found myself skimming through parts. I will not be buying any more books from this author unless they are a great deal.

Page turner

This was a really good read. Kept me interested the whole time!

Loved it, hard to put down.
