Description Conducive To Books Nine Perfect Strangers
Could ten days at a health resort really change you forever? These 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 Liane Moriarty's writing a go-to for anyone looking for wickedly smart, page-turning fiction that will make you laugh and gasp, Nine Perfect Strangers once again shows why she is a master of her craft.Define Books Toward Nine Perfect Strangers

Namaste 🙏. .... or me kicking a flat tire - over and over and over again wishing it wasnt flat!!!!I JUST NOW LOST THE FIRST 70% of this review while trying to copy it from my notes to the Goodreads site. I tried a dozen times to magically make it reappear. Not happening. 😕Love spending my wheels - not getting other needed things done! 🤨A quick reprise ...At the start we meet Yao... hes a training paramedic. On his third day out he meets a middle-age woman who had fallen out of a chair. ObviouslyHER BEST YET.I said to my husband recently... I just love the way I feel when Im reading a Liane Moriarty book. Like I'm surrounded by lovely, neurotic, warm, friends. And Liane has done it again with this wonderful book about nine strangers who go to a health retreat. As always, Liane's observations about life are just so damn spot on. Frances was my favourite guest, but the rest of the gangNapoleon, Tony, Heather, Ben, Jessica, Carmel, Zoe, Yao... even MashaI adored them too. I sort of wanted

2.5 stars, rounded up.Ugh. This one really fell flat for me.The idea of self-improvement is often an appealing one, but it takes so much work, so when someone offers us a quick solution, how can we not jump on it?That's what is bringing nine people to Tranquillum House, an exclusive health resort in a remote part of Australia. They're coming to lose weight, to detox a bit from the alcohol they've become fond of, to get lots of spa treatments and massages, and to get a jump on the problems that
Nine, worn-down-by-life, strangers, sign-up for an exclusive ten-day, mind and body total transformation retreat, but end up getting much more than they bargained for! I was expecting the Nine Perfect Strangers to be strangers to each other but this wasnt the case. Two were a married couple, while a further three were family members father, mother, and their 20 year old daughter, while the remaining four were indeed strangers two male, two female. Of course, the title does have a deeper,
3.5 stars, rounded upI am not a consistent Liane Moriarty fan. Ive loved some, others not so much. So, I had no idea which side Id come down to on Nine Perfect Strangers. I will say initially it took me a while to wrap my head around all the different characters. I thought the idea of a strict health resort made for an interesting setting. I mean, it made me ponder whether I could handle not just the clean living and digital hiatus, but total silence for 5 days. Moriarty has a dry sense of humor
UPDATE June 2019: They ARE making this into a TV series (or maybe a movie?)! No date given yet, but Nicole Kidman is cast as the spa director. Hot dog!4.5No snack stashes allowed! (But Im still rounding up)If I went to a health spa and they confiscated my phone and secretly raided my suitcase for snack stashes, Id think WTF? What did I sign up for? Those snacks were there for a reason. And the phone, oh dear. As Moriarty writes, How was she going to cope for ten days without instant answers to
