Nine Perfect Strangers
By Liane Moriarty
I have read all of her books and was so excited to see she had a new one, because I have loved them all. Liane Moriarty is so great at delving into character's minds. I loved this one just as much.
Nine people sign up for a health resort retreat that they have been promised will transform them and they will not be the same when they leave.
Frances- Romance author- victim of a romance con/scam
Lars- Divorce lawyer, helps scorned women
Tony- Famous Former sports star
Napoleon, Heather, and Zoe- Family dealing with an unspeakable tragedy and trying to deal with the aftermath
Caramel- Recently divorced, mother of 4 young girls, dealing with body image
Ben and Jessica – Young couple, recently won the lottery
The players arrive at the resort and we are told a little bit of background about each, they find it's a little different then expected. The guests are asked to not speak for a few days, given special smoothies to drink, and then when they are finally allowed to start talking again something really strange happens. This started out a little slow for me, and I wasn't sure I would enjoy it as much but then, bam! something so out of the blue happens, it just gets so good, I couldn't stop turning the pages. Each character has problems they are trying to deal with and are forced to confront at this resort. You feel for ever single one of these people and want to them to be happy. Life is hard and people are so so weird and complex, and Liane is at the top of her game writing what she does best.
Shelved in Adult Fiction- Just like all of her books has some brief language, talk of sex, (nothing graphic)
Pyscological Thriller
