Helpful Score: 3
The story has an interesting premise and the characters are realistic and like-able. I can't be the only one tired of nasty children or tacky grandparents. Anyone who has dated someone with a child will empathize with the stalker's feeling of loss. Hypnotist's profession was dealt with fairly and with interest.
Some insights about love and relationships had depth. Overall satisfying chick-lit.

One of the best books I've ever read! This author never fails to wow me. The Characters were rich and believable, the emotions palatable, the story line just kept moving and kept me reading.

This book starts out excruciatingly slow. It really doesn't pick up until about half way through (over 200 pages!) But if you keep with it, it is a quirky little story with interesting characters that is funny and sweet.

I enjoyed this book more than I expected. I am amazed at how wonderful Moriarty is at character development. Each and every character in the book became a part of my heart (even the stalker). It is a delightful roller coaster ride with thrills and chills, tragedy and triumph.
While an interesting story, I thought the end was a little too easy. I was hoping for some more drama!
I really enjoyed this book. I have found a new favorite author and hope she continues to write many more books.
A very good read
This book, like most of Liane Moriarty's books, sucked me right in on the first page. I have a rule: if a book hasn't captured me by page 50, I allow myself to stop reading and post it here. Whoa! By page 50, I was carrying my book around EVERYWHERE, reading at every possible moment. Even during TV adverts when we normally record on DVR and fast forward. I love commercials (adverts) when I'm reading Liane's books!
The story is excellent, and I don't say that lightly. The Hypnotist is like a therapist and I was a therapist/counselor for over 30 years.
Read this one!

It was a good book. 500 pages flew by.
