Nine Perfect Strangers by Liane Moriarty
Usually I prefer to read the book before seeing the movie or series. In this case we watched the series on Amazon Prime, based on the book by Liane Moriarty. She has also written some popular books like Big Little Lies, What Alice Forgot, and Truly Madly Guilty. We didn’t know what to expect but the preview looked interesting so we watched the series.
About halfway through I started to have reservations. By the end, I felt disappointed, perhaps even swindled. This will be a book I will not read and with that negative experience, I may never read one of her books.
The series gets a [usr 1.5] rating. The book is probably better, but I will never know.
Nine Perfect Strangers — Based on The New York Times bestselling book by author Liane Moriarty, “Nine Perfect Strangers” takes place at a boutique health-and-wellness resort that promises healing and transformation as nine stressed city dwellers try to get on a path to a better way of living.

However, these nine “perfect” strangers have no idea what is about to hit them.
