I didn't enjoy this one nearly as much as I liked Big Little Lies. It might've been better if it was "Five Perfect Strangers" instead of Nine Perfect Strangers. It was a bit much to keep track of all of the characters and some of them were kind of throw away (Lars and Carmel, I'm looking at you!).

This novel totally surprised me. Here, I thought I was picking up a light read, not so.
Nine strangers attend a health resort, what could possibly go wrong? Everything! Thats what!
Topics discussed were very current and relatable.
I enjoyed this novel.

Moriarty seamlessly switches between 10+ characters and manages to give each character a clear purpose and surprising character arc. In true Moriarty fashion, she saves a few surprises for the end of the book that keeps you reading with excitement and anticipation to the very last page. A great read!!!

There are a lot of negative reviews, but I enjoyed reading this. The story was interesting, but maybe because I’m a health retreat type of person. Ha! It was a nice look into different people’s lives and personalities. I love when books change POV with each chapter and this delivered that. If I did get bored at any moment, it changed quickly because I would be reading about someone new in the next chapter. That made it easy to get through.

I liked this book and found the premise entertaining. It definitely is a good finding the humanity in all people kind of books. For some reason, I wasn't wrapt or particularly taken with it, but a good read.

I love Liane Moriarty, but this wasn't my fav. Still good, just felt a little slower. This was a reread after watching the TV adaptation that didn't jive with my recollection of the story. I was really disappointed with how much they changed, and I felt like some of the important connections were lost.
