Nine Perfect Strangers/Lianne Moriarty/453 pgs

Lianne Moriarty always writes engaging, fully developed characters. In this novel, she starts out with some very cliched characters (on purpose, I think) but she gives them life and personality. Tranquillum House is a resort/spa that vows to change its customers' lives. But the nine who show up for a 10 day "transformation" are in for a surprise. Masha, the director of the spa and a former corporate bulldog, has decided to introduce a new element to her clients. This is an interesting, sometimes funny, sometimes sad, story with an ensemble cast that will keep you hooked the whole way through. It's hard to pick who my favorite character is of the nine, but I think it would be Frances, the romance novelist on the brink of the end of her career.
