Nine Perfect Strangers (by Liane Moriarty)

I'll always read a good Liane Moriarty (usually on an airplane, but in this case it was just when my library hold popped up and said this book was available -- god I love the library).  This is not her best, I'll say that right away, despite a great concept -- nine strangers at an unorthodox holistic health resort.

Each of the characters is well drawn and has a great backstory that unfolds over the course of the book, Moriarty is great at creating vivid characters and making you care about them. But the ending goes off the rails into melodrama -- and it's not all that believable, at that. Still, a page turning and entertaining light read.
