The Hypnotist's Love Story by Liane Moriarty
3.0

It held my interest, but that's about all I can say about this book. I wasn't overly entertained and it wasn't all that enjoyable. I found Ellen to be rather annoying and unpleasant, and a lot of her relationship with Patrick made me uncomfortable because of how she treated his stalker ex. This book did seem to try to humanize Saskia too much and almost excuse what she was doing, which I found a little horrifying. Stalkers aren't something to be downplayed, regardless of their gender. But it did save itself a bit in the end in that regard. All in all, not as impressed by this book as I wanted to be.
