This wasn't my favorite book so far this year, but I think it's been the most fun. I thought that telling the story from 10+ perspectives would be too ambitious, but it was actually done quite well.

This book made me think more than I was expecting. Each person was at the resort for a different reason, and had different things they wanted out of their experience. It made me think about what I can do more to improve my health in small ways (I don't see myself ever going to a 10 day health retreat after reading this). I bought a jump rope! We'll see how long it takes me to get past 1 minute of jumping before I'm out of breath.

Everyone has things they want to improve, and this book showed that even the people that seem to have everything can be unhappy with who they are. This was one book I will be thinking about and recommending for quite a while.
