For fans of Emily Giffin, another wonderful book from the author of the #1 New York Times bestseller, THE HUSBAND’S SECRET...
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.
In this one, Moriarty writes about a Hypnotherapist, Ellen, that has fallen in love with a man with baggage- Patrick the surveyor, and he his baggage is that he has a stalker- an ex-girlfriend, Saskia, that will not leave him alone. Ellen is more intrigued and excited by the thought of Patrick's stalker than she is frightened or nervous. She even finds herself wondering what it would be like to have her own stalker, and she feels curious to meet Saskia. But what Ellen doesn't realize is that Saskia already knows Ellen, and Ellen has already met her... A definite page-turner. It didn't have me quite as spell-bound as Alice, but still just as pleasing a read.
