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.

可能对她的下一本书的期望太大了,所以有点小失望。她的书总是在一个固定的场景里,有一些人,各有各的期望,各有各的过去,各有各对生活的理解。听故事,还是很轻松。

奔着轻松看的,书写得太散,感觉作者试图给编剧提供所有切入口,从哪个视角都很方便改编,但是书就没那么好看了。

plot twist没有twist到位,当我以为masha是真疯了要大开杀戒的时候她又唉虚晃一枪。最喜欢的是marconi一家对于悲伤的麻木、接受、倾诉和疗愈
