Giveaway: THE HYPNOTIST’S LOVE STORY by Liane Moriarty
Book Description:
Ellen O’Farrell has grown tired of the lack of respect her profession is afforded by others—especially her critical physician mother. She is proud to be a hypnotherapist and has found her niche. Unfortunately, she has not been as lucky in love. That is, until she meets Patrick Scott. A handsome young widower she met through an online dating service, Patrick seems too good to be true. So when he one day announces that he has something to tell her, Ellen braces for the worst. His confession: he is being stalked by a former girlfriend. That’s okay, Ellen assures him, and inwardly she has to admit that she finds the situation kind of intriguing. Thrilling, even.
Ellen would love to learn everything she can about the woman—Saskia—but she refrains from pumping Patrick for details because it clearly upsets him. Indeed, Ellen would love to get inside this woman’s head. What she doesn’t realize is that she already knows her. The obsessed Saskia, under an assumed name, has become one of Ellen’s hypnotherapy clients intent on getting as close as possible to her perceived rival.
As Ellen and Patrick grow deeper in love, Saskia grows even more fixated on her former lover. What Patrick failed to see is Saskia’s deep attachment to his young son, Jack, whom she nurtured in the wake of his mother’s death. Meanwhile, Ellen gets some news that could forever change her life and could either solidify or jeopardize her relationship with Patrick. Could Saskia exploit this new development to further her own calculated motives?
Liane Moriarty tells this riveting story from two points-of-view, granting Saskia equal voice, and brilliantly portraying the roots of obsession. Told with deftly-wrought suspense and unexpected humor, THE HYPNOTIST’S LOVE STORY captures the vicissitudes of life and love as it explores what Sigmund Freud aptly observed: “One is very crazy when in love.”

I'm particularly intrigued by the idea that part of the story is told from the POV of the disturbed Saskia. That should make the story even more interesting. Thanks for the new giveaway.
