Review: Nine Perfect Strangers

Nine Perfect Strangers by Liane Moriarty
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

The reason why I liked this book was because it's all about human psychology, wellness and self-improvement.

The story is intriguing too but it's a bit disappointing, it could have been more. It's about 9 strangers who meet at a wellness retreat and Masha the owner trying to break them and fix them.

The book wasn't so much about the 9 strangers, more so 6 strangers because it was focused way more on the characters: Francis, Ben & Jessica, Heather & Napoleon & Zoe.

Ben & Jessica, and Zoe were my favorite characters. I guess you pick your favorites based on who you can relate to the most and which age group is closest to you. Zoe is a younger girl, and Ben & Jessica are my age, trying to sort out relationship issues and money. Francis' story was okay but Liane Moriarty focused too much on her.

Masha was pretty creepy but I knew from the get-go that (view spoiler)[ she was unstable. I thought that mayyyyybe she just says and does this to all the people who come to the wellness retreat, but in actuality she broke during this one and took things too far. (hide spoiler)] The ending was kinda disappointing too. (view spoiler)[ It was like all this climax and trouble, with the fire and Masha just loosing it and fired poor Yao and the other girl who worked for Masha.... and they got out and lived happily ever after... lol (hide spoiler)]

I wanted more suspense and thrill.
