Reviews
Praise for The Hypnotist's Love Story "[A] smart romance...a fresh spin on grappling with misplaced passion."-- Good Housekeeping "This superb novel...examines misunderstandings--not just with lovers, but with friends, families and, perhaps most often, ourselves."-- Parade "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, the hypnotherapist who can solve her clients' problems but can't seem to keep her own life from spiraling into soap opera. Readers who enjoy Jennifer Close and Marian Keyes will adore Moriarty's wit and warmth."-- Booklist (starred review) "A warmly humorous, gently poignant, ultimately comforting tale of frustration and redemption...Moriarty writes with both a frisky wit and a generosity of spirit that's truly disarming...It will make you feel warm all over."-- USA Today "A fascinating (and frequently hilarious) Russian doll story-within-a-story study of human obsession, reflected as if in a carnival fun house of mirrors. What's more, it's an exquisitely intense unfolding of the viewpoints of both the stalker and the stalker's partner. Gifted storyteller Liane Moriarty avoids the predictable, spinning the tale as a sympathetic character study that happens to be as much of a page-turner as any thriller."--Bookreporter "Perfect for all our summer outings."-- Chicago Tribune "Ellen's voice is compelling and believable."-- Publishers Weekly, " The 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.
