Nine Perfect Strangers Chapter 49

By Liane Moriarty

Chapter 49

Ben thinks about his drug experience last night and his sister the addict. Is that the feeling she keeps chasing? Is that what makes her lie and steal and destroy her life?
He also wonders if their couple’s counseling had worked. The kissing was pretty intense.
Jessica gets up to use the bathroom and Zoe comes over to talk to Ben. They discuss their siblings and their families.
When Jessica comes out of the bathroom, Ben just knows in his heart that they weren’t really able to reconnect. This isn’t a beginning for them. It’s an ending.
