Thanks to Michelle Roche for leading the discussion of this month’s PS! Book Club selection Nine Perfect Strangers by Liane Moriarty. Most of us abstained from watching the Hulu series until after reading the novel and were surprised by the digressions from the actual plot made by the series. We felt the characters were a bit like a Chinese menu…one from column A, one from column B. We felt that Frances Welty was the most identifiable, and more fully developed of the cast of 14 characters. Surprisingly, we each expected to read a quite different book but agreed that this novel was an especially good beach read.
