I like Liane Moriarty - and I especially like her audiobook narrator, who seems to consistently work with her. Moriarty books seem to always start with the typical middle class person experiencing some sort of crisis that seems frivolous and shallow, then as the story moves along, the layers peel back and we see the real person and a good story under the surface. That said, I wasn't really connected to the characters, bar Napoleon. Actually, I really feel like the whole book should have been from the men's perspective - I preferred their perspective overall to any of the womens' stories. The spa/resort employees were cardboard. I enjoyed it. Kept me tuned in on the commute. Someone else mentioned it was supposed to be a thriller - in that respect, this was not that. It had some tension, though, and some of Marcia's "therapies" are things I've actually been reading about, so that was entertaining to see it pop up here.
