Shelves: hoopla

This was fine. The audio narrator on hoopla was pretty good and generally did a decent job with the accents, which added to the appeal. I'm not sure what I was expecting, but it wasn't this story (or stories). They were all ok to listen to, but didn't come together as more than the sum of their parts for me.

I just want to start off by saying, this was a very well written book, but, it was not one of my favorites by Liane Moriarty. I was instantly hooked and intrigued to know what was going to happen next. Nine strangers go away to a health retreat, what could be so bad about that? But, by the end of the book I was so disturbed. I am a huge fan of this authors writing, but this time I was not sure what happened. The book was just not what I expected it to be.

Refreshing.
A fun, quick read with many likable characters, beautiful character development, and interesting plot twists.

I’ll certainly be reading more of her work.

Way better than the last few ones I’ve read from her! Not the best one ever but a solid story line and characters were mostly interesting. Story didn’t drag.

This book is a twister, you'll see what I mean. The characters are well developed, as is the plot. I was greatly inspired to practice healthier habits while reading this, but maybe without any special ingredients! This book is a quick read, most of the chapters are short. ...more
