Good Morning and Happy Summer!
This is book #1 in my Summer Reading pile, and it is the teacher's book club selection for June. We're meeting tomorrow at Bad Sons, so I figured I should get the review done too. I am moderating although I didn't choose this book. Ms. Marcella did, but she forgot she had Dave Matthews Band tickets.
Ms. M. picked this because it's a Netflix series, and she wanted to read the book before watching the movie.
The premise is that nine strangers meet at a health resort/spa retreat. However they're not all strangers, which put me off to start with. There is a family of 3 (Dad, Mom, daughter) and a young couple. Then the rest are strangers. Some there for weight loss, some for meditation, some, like the young couple, are there for therapy. We also have the director of the resort, her two assistants, and a massage therapist.
I thought this would be a whodunit in a Clue style story, kinda like The Guest List maybe?
Instead I found everyone and everything annoying, nothing believable, and the ending atrocious. There I said it; I hated this book. I am so disappointed, and have no idea how I'm going to lead a discussion on it! I'm actually quite dismayed I paid for the hardcover version. Bleh!
