Nancy's Friend Comments

Just finished Nine Perfect Strangers by Liane Moriarty, and it was a fun, weird ride. At one point, I almost fell out of bed laughing--and then the author took a sad, unexpected turn. The book is unpredictable, and entertaining, to say the least. It is a fete that Moriarty is able to stay in the heads of nine characters so convincingly, to tell their stories, and have them emerge so distinctly. The book is long, with epilogue, but I didn't want it to end. And I guess it won't. Nicole Kidman is taking the story to the screen. I can only imagine what she'll do with Masha, that maniac beauty who puts the whole thing in motion. Enjoy!
