The Hypnotist's Love Story / Liane Moriarty

From the author of the critically acclaimed What Alice Forgot comes a wonderfully fun, insightful novel about the crazy things we do for love.

Ellen O'Farrell is a bit unusual. She's a hypnotherapist. She's never met her father. And she can't seem to keep a relationship going. (Okay, that's more normal that we want to admit.) When Ellen meets Patrick, she's hopeful nevertheless. But when he says he needs to tell her something, she fears the worst.

When Patrick reveals that his ex-girlfriend is stalking him, Ellen thinks, "Is that all? Actually, that's kind of neat." She's more intrigued than frightened. What makes a supposedly smart, professional woman behave this way? She'd love to meet her. What she doesn't know is that she already has.
