Publisher's Summary

The eagerly anticipated new novel from the worldwide number one best-selling author behind 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 ambience 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.

Entertaing

At first I was ready to give up listening and buy the book because the narration was so slow, but it picked up a couple of chapters in. Well written, interesting characters, bizarre at times, but a good, fun story.

It’s unfortunate such interesting characters were wasted on such a preposterous plot

I’m frustrated that I put in the hours committing to the lives of these characters only to have the story drive itself into a ridiculous plot.

So much of the novel is wasted on the transformations.

This audiobook came everywhere with me!

I absolutely enjoyed this book, Caroline Lee did an excellent job (especially of Marsha!). A big read at 19+ hours but I read it in three days, it came in the car, the studio, I listened while I gardened, cooked and did the dishes. A fabulous story with real characters and some unexpected twists. I highly recommend.

Not as Good as Usual

I couldn't wait for this new release. It started well, held promise throughout, but ultimately fell short of expectation. I came close to closing the book as it went down hill about midppint, but I held too much respect for the author & I kept hoping it would pick up. Although the book was very well written, and oratored, the storyline was weak, bordering on ridiculous at times. A bit disappointing.

A pleasure to listen to

Again Caroline as Narrator is just so good. The story was a pleasure to follow and I devoured this book as quickly as possible. Thoroughly recommend it. Just as I thought 'What's a character thinking?" it's answered. Just get this one - It's good!!!

Everything you expect from Liane Moriarty

Another wow... I didnt see that coming moment. The character development kept me hooked until the very last word.
I enjoyed every second of this one.

Interesting and real characters

Took a while to get into the story but got more interesting when Marcia showed signs of weekness.

Funny engaging but it did not quite work

I have read and loved a lot of Liane's book - I really enjoy here humour and quiet observations on simple human life. The idea behind this was great but I felt that it fell into a farce.
