APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
Before Big Little Lies made her an international sensation, Liane Moriarty put an unusual spin on the love triangle story. Hypnotherapist Ellen O’Farrell helps her patients cope with emotional problems, but her own track record with relationships is pretty grim. All that changes after she falls for charming widower Patrick. Unfortunately, he comes with a lot of baggage, specifically his ex-girlfriend Saskia, who has been stalking Patrick ever since they broke up. Narrator Tamara Lovatt Smith adroitly handles Moriarty’s signature blend of pointed comedy and steadily increasing tension, which culminates in a twist we never saw coming.
