From the no. 1 New York Times bestselling author of The Husband's Secret and Big Little Lies
This perceptive and honest novel from the internationally bestselling Liane Moriarty shows us that life is complicated, relationships aren't black and white, and people are never simply good or bad.
As a hypnotherapist, Ellen helps her clients deal with all sorts of unusual problems. So when she finds out that her new boyfriend, Nathan, is being stalked by his ex-lover, she's not worried at all; in fact, she's rather curious and wishes she could sit down with Saskia to have a good chat about it all.
No one grows up dreaming of becoming a stalker. It's not a life ambition or game plan. It just sort of... happens. At least that's Saskia's story and she's sticking with it. And she's determined not to be left behind by Nathan and Ellen's new love.
Ellen's wish to counsel Saskia comes true in a way she could never have predicted - Saskia has been masquerading as a new client...
Fans of Jojo Moyes, Jodi Picoult and Paula Hawkins will love Liane Moriarty.

Hypnotherapist, Ellen, has pretty much given up on the idea of having a life-long loving relationship, when she meets widower and single dad, Patrick.
Surveyor, Patrick has been alone since a disastrous break-up with Saskia, a relationship that was a mistake, coming too soon after his wife's death. But Saskia can't let it go and has been stalking Patrick and his young son, Jack, ever since the break-up.
As Ellen's relationship with Patrick deepens, she realises that Saskia has been a client under an assumed name and the stalking is escalating.
With a future to plan for, Patrick and Ellen are at their wits end with unexpected break-ins and threats to Ellen's reputation.
When things literally come crashing down, it forces everyone to refocus on their futures.
I couldn't put this book down. A great read!

Worth reading, and discovering the trials and tribulations of the various characters.

But then it descended into absurdities and the plot got more and more unbelievably - and tiresome - as the story went on.
It's as if the author got bored and/or didn't know where she was going with this novel halfway through and just kept writing in hope that - with time - the characters would 'find themselves' and the plot would come together.
Unfortunately, that did not happen. Which is so disappointing because the writing is excellent! And the novel started so well.
I notice a very similar thing happens with the author's other book, "Nine Perfect Strangers." That story also started brilliantly. The characters were well-rounded, the writing was good, and the story was captivating. But, as was the case with this book, the whole plot fell halfway through and the second half of the book was terribly unsatisfying. The momentum was lost and the story went on, and on, and on.
I wonder if the author's writing suffers when she's under (time) pressed? I say this because it's as if she loses interest and/or passion for the story as it goes on. I didn't feel this happened at all with Big Little Lies! That novel was amazing from the first page to the last. But this one... and Nine Perfect Lives... well... they started strong but ended badly.



Not so here, I’m afraid. From the blurb, I was expecting a psychological thriller, and instead got a novel with a serious identity crisis.
It had great potential.
With a string of failed relationships behind her, hypnotherapist Ellen has given up hope of ever finding happiness. Then she meets Patrick, a widower with a young son, and they fall in love. But there’s a fly in the ointment. Patrick is being stalked by Saskia, an obsessive ex lover.
What a perfect batch of ingredients for dishing up some creeping suspense fiction, right? Wrong! That idea fizzles out about half-way through, when the whole plot seems to lose direction. Like it forgot where it was going, or the satnav broke down. All the momentum built up in the early chapters is lost.
It’s almost like Moriarty suddenly changes her mind, and not just about the plot but about the characters as well. At first I thought it clever, the way she toys with the reader’s allegiances and perceptions. But, for me at least, this shift ended up taking the pep out of the whole book.
Right up until the end, I was waiting for a sting in the tail, a final twist that would inject a lovely fizz of satisfaction. Instead, I got twee, bland and disappointing.
Not Moriarty’s best, by a long shot. Only 3.5 stars, generously rounded up rather than down.
Thanks for reading my review. I hope you found it helpful. You can find more candid book reviews on my Amazon profile page.
