This was a fun, light read, even a little silly at times. I've read others by this author that were definitely better. I think this was one of her earlier books (maybe her 1st?) so I'm thinking she got better the more she wrote. I wasn't sure I was going to like a story about a hypnotist but I thought Ellen was really funny. Liane Moriarty does do a good job getting into the heads of her characters. I thought Saskia was a creepy stalker (who stalks an ex for 3 years?!) but as I learned more of her story with Patrick, my feelings changed for her a bit. No big twists or surprises.
