It was a different take on an interesting issue. Not so much about hypnosis as some of us feared. Definitely worth reading. It was a great discussion book.

Characters well developed. The story is intriguing about relationships ending and beginning. Characters are women and you see from the various aspects of relationships.

Perhaps I was trying to make more of this book than was necessary. Perhaps I've read too many mysteries lately so I was overthinking the plot of this story. Whatever the case, when I finally closed the book, I just kept thinking, "Was that it?" I kept waiting for that revelation or twist that was going to give me one of those V8 moments when you smack your head and think that you should have seen that coming. Suffice is to say, that moment never arrived.

I've read many books by this author and her writing skills did not regress in this story, but the story line fell a bit short for me. The idea that a hypnotist was dating a young man who is being stalked by an ex-girlfriend, only to find that the stalker is one of the hypnotists clients, leaves a lot of room and possibilities to play with. It was interesting, at times a bit edgy, but it just didn't leave me screaming for more. In the end it was just wrapped up in a too tight of a bow with that happily ever after icing. Don't get me wrong -- I love happy endings, but sometimes I just like my characters to be a bit flawed and not just the bad guy in the story. It makes it a bit more believable and realistic. Because let's face it, who couldn't get a good night's sleep with a pea under the mattress? But if I was being stalked day and night by my boyfriend's ex-girlfriend you can bet that I'd be trading that pea for a handgun. Apparently the characters in this story just liked pea soup.

Did not like it
