The Hypnotist's Love Story

Not the worst audiobook...in fact I quite enjoyed parts of it, in that unsubstantial/junk food kind of way that's driven by superficial plot. In the beginning, I was engrossed because I thought it was setting up for some wild thriller, but it ended up being a kind of flat love story. Good enough to entertain me for long drives and the Aussie narrator was fun, but I wouldn't recommend it.
This was not my favorite book by Liane Moriarty. It was very slow for the first two thirds of the book and then got interesting in the last third. I didn't think there was much character development and they all remained static to me.
I really enjoyed other books I've read by this author but I had a hard time getting into this one.. I think I mostly finished it to see what happened.
It was my second or third brush off with Lianne Moriarty, and I had the same impression. It is the sort of book that you won't put down. Not because it is amazing, but because it is well written enough. The characters are good and well built, the story connects accordingly, the voices are strong. When you realize it, you finished it and have that pleasant feeling of a good book. Again, it hasn't changed your life, but a book you would probably give a friend, talk about, and carry with you to a plane flight because it will never get you down.
