Liane Moriarty is so good! I thought it was going to be suspense, then a comic novel, then suspense again. 9 flawed human beings in various kinds of distress meet at a health spa, in an effort to transform their lives. Transformation duly ensues, though in unexpected ways. I found it very funny, oddly wise, and unexpectedly moving, despite some unsettling moments.
