Nine Perfect Strangers
2 journalers for this copy...
"Nine people gather at a remote health resort. Some are here to lose weight, some are here to get a reboot on life, some are here for reasons they can't even admit to themselves. Amidst all of the luxury and pampering, the mindfulness and meditation, they know these ten days might involve some real work. But none of them could imagine just how challenging the next ten days are going to be.
Frances Welty, the formerly best-selling romantic novelist, arrives at Tranquillum House nursing a bad back, a broken heart, and an exquisitely painful paper cut. She's immediately intrigued by her fellow guests. Most of them don't look to be in need of a health resort at all. But the person that intrigues her most is the strange and charismatic owner/director of Tranquillum House. Could this person really have the answers Frances didn't even know she was seeking? Should Frances put aside her doubts and immerse herself in everything Tranquillum House has to offer – or should she run while she still can?
It's not long before every guest at Tranquillum House is asking exactly the same question."

Nine people, some in small groups and some independent, gather at a remote Australian health resort. Each are there for different reasons, but ultimately all of them are hoping to leave refreshed and recharged to rejoin the world. However, none of them quite realize the extent to which their lives will be changed.
I've typically enjoyed the books by Liane Moriarty that I've previously read. It seems that there is a nice mix of drama, mystery, and humor to most of them, with maybe a little bit of craziness thrown in. I'd have to say this one was not my favorite. The craziness factor was a little too high in this one, making much of the plot seem ridiculous and unbelievable. I was never really sure where the story was going, which is maybe what was intended, but at times it seemed to meander and, ultimately, was longer than it needed to be. I didn't necessarily dislike this one, but there was definitely a point where I was ready for it to be finished, despite there being several more audio discs to plunder through.
