A different type of book from the author of BIG LITTLE LIES...

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

This was so different from Moriarty's earlier books that I was taken aback for a big chunk of it. Not to say I wasn't interested but I could NOT figure out where the story was headed. In the end, it was clever and engaging and a very fast, worthy read. Exactly what we've come to expect from LM!
