Nine Perfect Strangers

by Liane Moriarty

Book Overview

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER, now 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.

Customer Reviews

Enjoyed it

I really enjoyed this book! Took me on an unexpected roller coaster ride.

Boring

Couldn't get into it. Didn't finish reading.

Good book

I've never read a Liane Moriarity book I haven't liked (at minimum). Kept me intrigued and had a good mix of odd characters. Not one of my favorites of her books, but still a good one.

The cover was bad

There were stains on it and the cover was ruined.

Fun to read before watching!

Once I saw this was coming out as a tv show, I decided I wanted to read it before starting the show. Plus, my best friend had recommended it... It was fantastic! Moriarty writes so well that I was there with the narrators. I've always considered going to a health/yoga retreat, soooo to read a twisted version of one, was a lot of fun. Would recommend to others for sure and can't wait to read another of her books!

Nine Perfect Strangers

I usually love all books by this author, but this book was hard to even want to finish. I was bored and didnt like the book at all. The only reason I gave it 2 stars was because the ending had a cute little twist i didnt expect, otherwise, I would skip this book.

I loved these characters and was sad when it ended

I love how the author slowly let you know more and more about each of these characters. Like you were unwrapping a gift. I laughed I cried I said “Oh no she didn’t” and I was truly sad when the book ended. This was my first Liane Moriarty and it certainly won’t be my last! :)

My least favorite of Laine's Moriarty's thus far

I wanted to like this book, I have really enjoyed every other Laine Moriarty book I've read. But this one just seemed comical, a joke I couldn't take seriously. It was hard to finish. Not her best, for me.
