Borrowing a convention from mystery novels, Moriarty opens with a prologue whose events must be explained through subsequent chapters: Moriarty gleefully describes the triplets' turbulent previous year, which forces them to abandon the roles they've played since childhood.
Sarcastic and abrasive marketing executive Cat must grapple with her husband Dan's affair, a miscarriage and a drinking problem, while flighty Gemma, a full-time house sitter, probes her fears of commitment when she meets charming locksmith Charlie. Lyn, a successful entrepreneur, wife and mother, has perfected the art of time management " Sex with husband. Check " , but she's quietly seized by bouts of panic. Despite such unoriginal problems, Moriarty's novel is a winning combination of smart-alecky fun and feel-good mush mostly the former.
Her writing is smart and playful "Death was the hot bath you promised yourself while you endured small talk and uncomfortable shoes" , her characters are quirky and lovable and her clever plot turns—like the rekindled love between the triplets' divorced parents—are fun. Convenient coincidences and a general predictability don't distract too much from the sassy pleasures. The Kettle sisters are a strange sight when they are together--a beautiful set of triplets, with two identical and one fraternal. Over the course of their thirty-third year, their lives all take turns no one could foresee.
Lyn's perfectly scheduled and organized life begins to fray as debilitating panic attacks come on suddenly in parking lots; Cat, Lyn's identical twin, thinks her marriage is indestructible until her husband admits to having an affair with a young law student; and Gemma, who acts much younger than her sisters, goes from job to job and can't sustain a relationship with a man for longer than six months. Separately, they are strong, independent women struggling with divorce, pregnancy, parents, and jobs.

Kindle Edition Verified Purchase. The first half if this book was the funniest thing I ever read. I laughed so hard in the middle of the night I woke up my poor husband. Around the middle it gets much more serious, but still ends well. Liane Moriarty has become one of the authors whose books I automatically pick up. Moriarty has a talent of creating some pretty unique and dramatic characters.
In Three Wishes, you get a triple dose of these characters with the Kettle triplets: Cat, Lyn and Gemma.
They each have their own distinct personalities that add to a close dysfunctional family. While I can appreciate their uniqueness, at times they can be a little too much for me. And it usually happens these sisters are within a scene. Mass Market Paperback Verified Purchase. Liane Moriarty really outdid herself this time. This is my absolute favorite book by this author yet!
The characters, although triplets, are so well-developed, you are able to differentiate between them immediately. What I like about this story is that the dramatic events in the book do not drag on and on, there are many of them, but you're not left wading through chapters to get to them.
