This week's book:
Nine Perfect Strangers
By Liane Moriarty
The fact this week's book turned out to be the book of the week came about by total accident. I had apparently reserved the audiobook months ago, strangely on an app I hadn't even downloaded from one of the local libraries. Regardless, I could listen right from my phone, instead of on cd like I have been for the last half a year or so. Oh it was fantastic to just have the audiobook wherever I was. I would listen to it while emptying the dishwasher or folding laundry. It was just so great not having to switch dishes and messing with the boombox in my kitchen.
Sadly as much as I enjoyed listening to the book via my cell phone, I didn't enjoy the book so much. I have now read five of Liane Moriarty's novels, and without a doubt this was my least favorite by far. The story is told from nine strangers, hence the title of the book. The nine people which the story revolves around are all at a health resort, and things keep getting weirder and weirder. I honestly know I wouldn't have finished the book except that it was an audiobook. Liane Moriarty's books always have some kind of twist in the end, and I don't always love them, but this time I just kind of felt blah about it.
I wouldn't recommend this novel, but I would recommend any of the other books she has written that I have read.
