Summary
The eagerly anticipated new novel from the worldwide number one best-selling author behind the Emmy- and Golden Globe-winning HBO series Big Little Lies.
Could 10 days at a health resort really change you forever? Nine perfect strangers are about to find out....
The 10-day retreat at boutique health-and-wellness resort Tranquillum House promises healing and transformation. Nine stressed city dwellers are keen to drop their literal and mental baggage and absorb the blissful meditative ambiance while enjoying their hot stone massages. They are all on a path to a better way of living. Or at least a better waistline....
Watching over them is the resort's director, a woman on a mission to reinvigorate these tired bodies and minds. But to what lengths will she go to achieve her goal?
These nine perfect strangers have no idea what's about to hit them.

Did not like this book at all
Having read all of Liane Moriarty’s books and really enjoyed them I was very disappointed with this one. I found the characters tedious and the narrative rambling and totally unbelievable. Struggled to finish it

Average story - painfully slowly read
Disappointed with this after loving the husbands secret. Majority of the novel was spent setting up the characters (which I know is liane’s style) and then the climax was a bit too farcical in comparison to the rest of the novel. I also found the reader of this novel painfully slow. I listened to the whole thing at x1.5 speed as it was so slow.

Utterly brilliant! Liane Moriarty does it again!!!
This is gripping from the start. The 'nine strangers' in the title are all characters I was interested in and entertained by throughout. What I love most about L Moriarty's writing is the way she injects dark human and is so unafraid to confront us as readers with extremes. Her observations of human ridiculousness and how we differently negotiate the world and life is spot on.
Caroline Lee has narrated all Moriarty's books (that I've listened to) and she is the best narrator! I imagine her performance brings these books to life exactly how Moriarty intended. If Lee didn't narrate these books I'd miss her hugely. They are a winning team!

Disappointing
Was really disappointed with this book as have loved every other book the author has written. The story took far too long to get going and just as it started to improve, went completely nonsensical. Generally, the whole thing was far too long. Also the narrator wasn’t great. Very slow and very nasal. Not like her normal style at al.

Why is it being read so slowly?
I love these books and have always really enjoyed the narrator - but has she been told to slow down? It’s odd. I’ve been listening at 1.25 speed to get a bit more energy! I’ve only just started so I’m hoping it gets a bit more sparky!

Disappointingly Padded Out
It was a short story padded out with lots of back stories, it reminded me very much of Ben Elton’s “Dead Famous” although in hindsight I feel that was a better read.

Not as good as her others
I really like Liane Moriarty, and have loved her other books but this didn’t do it for me. It may have been me, maybe not in the right head space for it, but sadly my overriding feeling when listening to this was wanting it to end! Never a good sign. It was a bit like one of those action movies when you think the whole exhausting ordeal is over, and then the protagonists get off the boat/plane/bus only to get on a hijacked train. Thought it was over several times - at one point realising still five hours to go! Sorry Liane, as I say, maybe just me!

A long drag...
Far too slow. Narration and storyline. A few funny moments make it almost bearable. skipped at least 15 chapters

Narrator problems!
I'm really struggling with this title due to the narrator's incredibly slow speech. When you consider people's reading speed is much faster than reading aloud anyway, this narrator makes it feel dull and difficult to keep focused. I've not encountered this issue on Audible before. I just wish I could speed her up!!
