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. Review: Intriguing and lovely story - Ellen, a hypnotherapist, is kind, gentle and open to all possibilities. She is a lovely protagonist. She has inherited her grandparents' beautiful beach front house where she has her office. Her clients are quirky but engaging with a variety of problems. Just after the story opens she is internet dating and meets a man named Patrick who she is really attracted to and is hoping he will be the one. Before they can get too involved; however, Patrick tells her he has a stalker, an ex-girlfriend, who he can't get rid of. Ellen is not afraid but intrigued; she believes it makes her life more interesting to have someone observing it. Other interesting characters in the story are Ellen's mother, Anne, who is a doctor and very practical and can't believe her daughter has chosen hypnotism as a profession. Further Anne's mother, along with her two godmothers, raised Ellen, without the help of a man, of which they are very proud. Her two godmothers are interesting as well. Plus there's Patrick's son, Jack, from a previous relationship. Patrick is a widower. Then there is Ellen's best friend, Julia, who has been Ellen's best friend since childhood. Julia is quite a character all on her own. In fact, Moriarty could write a book about Julia if she chose. The interesting thing about the book, besides how will Patrick and Ellen's relationship end up, is that the stalker, Saskia, gets to tell her side of the story as well. Although at times I got irritated at Saskia for not being able to move on, I never hated her or feared her. In fact, Moriarty writes Saskia's point of view as sympathetic and by the end of the novel I really liked Saskia. None of the characters in this book were portrayed as evil nor were they demonized, which for me made for an interesting and exciting read. This was another great novel by Liane Moriarty and I highly recommend it to anyone who likes a bit of romance, intrigue, and mystery. Review: More of a fun read than a psychological thriller - Normally, this is where I would give you a brief synopsis of the book and tell you some details of what happens.... but I'm not going to do that this time. No. You can get a bit of that information from reading the blurb above. And if I tell you much more than that, I'd be giving away some spoilers. I enjoyed reading The Hypnotist's Love Story. Liane Moriarty is a seasoned author who writes from the heart. Her characters are vivid and well developed with multi-dimensional personalities, flaws and all! But there were a few things that didn't give me that full sense of satisfaction with this one. For one thing, I didn't particularly like Patrick. In my opinion, he was quite an arse. Good grief! The way he suddenly dumped Saskia after all that time living with her! And then... and then... he takes Ellen away on a romantic weekend getaway... to the same friggin' hotel where he met Saskia! (You may notice that I am trying very hard to keep my language ladylike and printable) And... he keeps talking about his dead wife! This book is listed as a psychological thriller, mystery, suspense. No, it's not exactly that. Don't get me wrong. I actually really enjoyed reading this book. It was quite good. But nothing in the thriller, mystery or suspense area really happened. It was more humor and contemporary fiction. I absolutely loved Ellen's approach to "the stalker". She wasn't frightened, she was fascinated! ## Images ![The Hypnotist's Love Story - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81o3adt3ijL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Intriguing and lovely story *by G***H on July 13, 2014* Ellen, a hypnotherapist, is kind, gentle and open to all possibilities.

She wasn't frightened, she was fascinated! ### ⭐⭐⭐ Decent story but not much happens *by J***S on April 6, 2025* I was invested in the life of the hypnotist, although it’s kind of funny it’s titled “hypnotist” when the character in the book corrects someone and says they’re not a hypnotist, they’re a hypnotherapist. Anyway, it’s super heavy on inner dialogue like I don’t need to hear every thought, everything about pregnancy hormones, etc. This book could’ve been a lot shorter without every mundane thought. Still, I was invested so that makes it a decent book. There’s no spectacular ending or twists. It literally is the hypnotist’s love story. As a former hypnotherapist, the hypnosis details are very accurate! That part was fun to read. Otherwise, I’m not sure I’d recommend this book. I don’t think it would hold most people’s interest for nearly 500 pages. --- ## 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.co.uk/products/5759546-the-hypnotists-love-story](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/5759546-the-hypnotists-love-story) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-18*
