Book Synopsis



NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER
Soon to be a Hulu original series

"If three characters were good in Big Little Lies, nine are even better in Nine Perfect Strangers." --Lisa Scottoline, The New York Times Book Review

From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Big Little Lies

Could ten days at a health resort really change you forever? In Liane Moriarty's latest page-turner, nine perfect strangers are about to find out...

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.

Combining all of the hallmarks that have made her writing a go-to for anyone looking for wickedly smart, page-turning fiction that will make you laugh and gasp, Liane Moriarty's Nine Perfect Strangers once again shows why she is a master of her craft.

"This latest work from the author of Big Little Lies makes us cower, laugh, reflect, cry, and fall in love right alongside the characters." --Family Circle

"Can't wait for Season 2 of Big Little Lies? Satisfy your craving with Moriarty's new novel. At a remote health resort, nine people gather, eager for change. Despite the luxurious new-age comforts that surround them, each realizes that the next 10 days will be tougher than they could ever imagine.

"Liane Moriarty is simply unparalleled at infusing flawed characters with humor and heartbreak.

This was a disappointing read. I absolutely this author. However, the story is predictable and there’s no plot twists you’re used to.

This book seemed to go on forever and I just wanted it to be over. The author is great at placing you in the environment of the story and helping you to know and sympathize with the characters, but this book could have been half the length and nothing would have suffered.

Of course this book is special. It hits numerous hot topics of modern society, problems of different social groups. Even if you would not agree with author's opinion, what you can discover through the book and characters, it make you do some really necessary mental work about your own moral principles and life goals. All nine character are awesome prototypes of people whom you know - you would recognize them very quickly, and maybe even yourself.

The characters are not that interesting and for the first time ever, I stopped caring and reading a book in the middle. It was waste of time and money

I love Liane’s work, but this wasn’t her best. It started off okay, but then took a turn. I didn’t even really want to finish it, but I was committed. You can skip this one.

I enjoyed this book overall. About 3/4 of the way in it did get odd and drawn out and I was ready for it to be over, but otherwise a captivating read.
