Publisher's summary

A “sharp and funny romantic tale” (O, the Oprah Magazine) from the number one New York Times best-selling author of Big Little Lies, Nine Perfect Strangers and Apples Never Fall.

Ellen O’Farrell is a professional hypnotherapist who works out of the eccentric beachfront home she inherited from her grandparents. It’s a nice life, except for her tumultuous relationship history. She’s stoic about it, but at this point, Ellen wouldn’t mind a lasting one. When she meets Patrick, she’s optimistic. He’s attractive, single, employed, and best of all, he seems to like her back. Then comes that dreaded moment: He thinks they should have a talk.

Braced for the worst, Ellen is pleasantly surprised. It turns out that Patrick’s ex-girlfriend is stalking him. Ellen thinks, actually, that’s kind of interesting. She’s dating someone worth stalking. She’s intrigued by the woman’s motives. In fact, she’d even love to meet her.

Ellen doesn’t know it, but she already has.

Great Book, Eh Narrator

I really loved this book but this narrator drives me crazy because you can't tell the difference when she switches between characters. Her voice is pleasant but I just wish she changed it up for the different characters. Otherwise, a great book!

Loved the characters

The characters were great. The story took a long time to develop. I think i would have liked more interactions with her girlfriends.

Anticlimatic

I thought it was a long story with very little action. I kept waiting for the twist, the ah-ha, but it never came.

Love and Intriguing

The book is intriguing and captivating. At first, it is a little slow but the twist of the story gives insight to several main characters insight. How it feels to be a stalker and how it feels to be the victim.

Loved it!

Great story; interesting characters

My favorite book by Liane so far. There are funny parts as well as times of consideration in this story. She adds favorite characters from other stories which is nice. Gives me a new outlook on hypnotherapy;)

It’s lovely. Really.

Beautifully narrated. Very relatable. As a woman who’s had love and loss experiences, I can relate to both female main character’s experiences. Very well written and enjoyable.. love the Aussie slang in there too
