But Patrick has a confession: he has a stalker , an ex-girlfriend who won't leave him alone. Ellen is a little disturbed - yet also curious. Who is this woman, and what would drive her to this obsessive behaviour? In fact, Ellen almost thinks she'd quite like to meet her. What she doesn't realise is that she already has . . . ________ AN INSTANT SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLLER The world can't get enough of Liane Moriarty... 'Moriarty writes vividly, wittily and wickedly' Sunday Express 'Mistress of the razor-sharp observation' Kate Morton 'An extraordinary talent' Nicole Kidman 'Keeps you guessing to the very end - perfect summer read' Reese Witherspoon 'Gripping, acutely observed, thought-provoking and funny' Marie Claire 'Captivating' Closer Review: Well-crafted and suspenseful tale with great characterisations. - The plot described on the blurb immediately had me hooked and the book more than lived up to my expectations. I especially liked the insight into the inner workings of Ellen's mind who, on the surface, seems to be a floaty lentil-eating hippy full of empathy and goodness but who also harbours not so angelic thoughts and tendencies. This is what Moriarty does so well: she takes heroines and gives them depth and complexity. Similarly she does it for the villain of the piece too, Saskia the stalker, by making us sympathise with her motives, although I did feel slightly uncomfortable knowing that a male stalker who committed the same transgressions would probably not have received such a sympathetic treatment. There were pleasing sub-plots too which worked because of Moriarty's skilled characterisations. Even Ellen's mother (who we know we are supposed to dislike because she is a career-loving "tough feminist") becomes more human by the end. All in all a great read, evidenced by the fact that I lost a bit of weight because I couldn't bring myself to put it down to go and make the dinner. Review: A Light-hearted and enjoyable read - I was in need of a light read to cheer me up and fortunately I had just the right type of book sat waiting for me on my bookshelf. I love Liane Moriarty’s writing style, plenty of wry observational humour to give an edge to what essential is a romantic tale, albeit one with a dark underbelly. Our hypnotist, or rather hypnotherapist, is Ellen a woman who has been fortunate enough to be left a beautiful house on the beach by her grandparents. She is in her thirties, a woman in charge of her own destiny, a woman who has decided to see whether internet dating can find ‘the one’ after a few failed relationships. She meets Patrick, widower and father to eight year old Jack and a man who is being stalked by an ex-girlfriend Saskia. Ellen is one of life’s good people, she believes in her job but is she really ready for this relationships, one with enough baggage to sink a battleship? I think this book would have quickly become quite boring had it not been for the fact that we hear from Saskia herself, a character I actually had a certain amount of sympathy for especially as Ellen was just a little bit too good to be true, certainly at the beginning of the book. Saskia does realise that what she is doing is a little on the odd side, she just isn’t quite sure how to give up following Patrick in her spare time… but what will she do when she realises the relationship with Ellen is getting serious? Well, I’m afraid if you want to know how this all pans out, you’ll just have to read the book. Although not my favourite of Liane Moriarty’s books, it was a thoroughly enjoyable read, with a good range of characters, including her speciality, the odd-balls that actually resemble people I’ve met in my life, the one that exists outside books. With a few sub-plots principally around Ellen’s clients, oh and not forgetting her caustic mother and her two kindly god-mothers there is far more meat to this romance, than well, just romance! Although this book is fairly long at getting on for 500 pages but the tale moves at quite a pace especially as the multiple strands keep the story lively and moving forward. I’d say this is perfect beach reading but it worked well for me on a cold and windy day wrapped up in a blanket while my mind was transported to a much warmer and sunnier Australia. ## Features - New Store Stock ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | 11,592 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) 657 in Romantic Suspense (Books) 724 in Psychological Fiction (Books) 745 in Women's Literary Fiction (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.1 out of 5 stars 33,994 Reviews | ## Images ![The Hypnotist's Love Story: From the bestselling author of Big Little Lies, now an award winning TV series - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91QYZcd-ynL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Well-crafted and suspenseful tale with great characterisations. *by J***S on 13 August 2016* The plot described on the blurb immediately had me hooked and the book more than lived up to my expectations.

She treats her clients in a glass room built on the side of the house with the sound of the sea as a backdrop to her relaxation sessions; her clients admire Ellen and her lovely home, but although Ellen may appear happy and fulfilled, there is something missing in her life. The 'something' is a man she can love and respect and who will love and respect her in return; if he happens to be tall, rugged and handsome, all the better. Enter Patrick, a widower with an eight-year-old son, who Ellen meets on an internet dating site. After a few dates Ellen is feeling optimistic; Patrick is attractive and attentive and he seems to find her very attractive and appealing too. There is just one problem: Patrick is being stalked by his ex-girlfriend, Saskia, who is absolutely obsessed with him and follows him everywhere, making his life a misery and making it difficult for him to form new attachments. Although many women might be worried, or even deterred by this news, Ellen finds the situation intriguing; she's interested in other people's motivations and she wants to find out as much as she can about Saskia. But unknown to Ellen, she has already become acquainted with Saskia, for Saskia has been posing as one of Ellen's new clients under an assumed name. Saskia is not only obsessed with Patrick now; she appears to be developing a rather unhealthy interest in Ellen too. Told in a third person narrative from Ellen's viewpoint, we discover how she falls in love with Patrick and of her hopes for their future life together; and in a first person narrative from Saskia's perspective, as she tells us how she met Patrick; how he swept her off her feet, telling her how he hoped they would always be together; how she fell deeply in love with him and also with his son; how she moved in and shared their lives and how Patrick suddenly decided that it was all over and broke her heart. I ordered this novel as part of a shared order with my sister and she kindly let me read it first, and I do have to admit that when I started reading I wasn't sure I was going to like the style of writing (very chatty, with lots of italicised words and exclamation marks) finding it a little gossipy and girly for my taste - however, before I knew it I was halfway through the book and keen to discover more. Is Saskia entirely to blame for her behaviour? How does Ellen cope with a relationship that started out so well but takes an unexpected turn? When Patrick asks Ellen to hypnotise him to help him relax, is she tempted to act unethically? And is Patrick all that he seems? Don't worry, I haven't included any spoilers here, there is plenty more for prospective readers to discover. This is a lightly entertaining novel that is best read with your 'literary head' off and your 'holiday head' on, sitting in the garden or lying in the sunshine accompanied by the sound of waves. 3 Stars. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vn/products/57950220-the-hypnotists-love-story-from-the-bestselling-author-of-big](https://www.desertcart.vn/products/57950220-the-hypnotists-love-story-from-the-bestselling-author-of-big) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vietnam* *Store origin: VN* *Last updated: 2026-06-05*
