About this deal

This is the story of the Kettle sisters, Gemma, Lyn and Cat, 33-years old triplets (two are identical twins) and a look at their lives at a pivotal moment in time. It's told in each of their voices, transitioning from past to present as they each face a critical issue. The dynamics of how they interact with each other is also an important aspect of their story. I suppose I enjoyed the little bit of irony involving the triplets parents the best, although it was not the HEA I was anticipating in the book, I suppose it will just have to do. I may have to write the author and beg her to publish an additional epilogue for this one to assure me Cat’s life turned to be as full as the rest of her family’s. For some reason, I really need to know the details! Petski, Denise (28 November 2016). " 'Big Little Lies' From David E. Kelley Gets Premiere Date On HBO". Deadline . Retrieved 19 September 2017. Between each chapter, small episodes are featured from onlooking strangers and their views on the sisters interactions from when they were young to present day. These offered an important dynamic to the story I feel; showing that despite not always being able to see it first hand, they were very close and had strong relationships with each other.

Surprisingly I enjoyed all of the characters in this book, all of the female characters at least: Gemma, Lyn and Cat - all brought something to the table that I could either relate to or just learn from. Gemma was probably my favorite though. Well, this was not exactly very good. It changes p.o.v. between the 3 sisters and also has little pointless excerts from a strangers p.o.v. that is never discussed in the book. It really doesn't go anywhere and I didn't learn anything. They are each other’s keepers, as it were, and they have no secrets from each other. They know what their husbands and boyfriends are like in bed and they swap all kinds of personal details. At least that’s what each thinks about the other two. We learn differently, gradually. I don't know why recently I've been having such craving for women fiction. Maybe because I'm getting closer and closer to being thirty, and her books usually focus on women of that age. Maybe because I cannot get enough of family drama, social life problems, motherhood, relationships and anything else that life throws at women in her books. But I inhale simply inhale her books. Her novel Nine Perfect Strangers, published November 6, 2018, was adapted into a television series by Hulu, starring and produced by Nicole Kidman. [8] [9] Personal life [ edit ]The story follows three women, in this case triplets, and their lives - husbands, kids, family relations. Most of Moriarty's books follow this patter, and in some cases it does gets repetitive, but this book felt fresh for some reason. Maybe because it was her first work, when she found her style. Maybe because the way the story was told brought different perspectives, I don't know, but it was very, very enjoyable. You seek out Christmas books that aren’t overtly Christmasy. Much of the plot here takes place over the holidays, so the seasonal reader in me wished I had saved this to read in December. As in Moriarty’s hugely successful Big Little Lies, there is plenty going on behind closed doors, the secrets they DO keep from each other making you want to read just one more chapter. If your mother was missing, would you tell the police? Even if the most obvious suspect was your father?

Another funny, drama-filled, soap opera like, juuuuicy novel from Liane Moriarty and it's crept in my favourites from her. Moriarty lives in Sydney with her husband, Adam, a former farmer from Tasmania. They have two children, George and Anna. [10] [11] She is the older sister of author Jaclyn Moriarty. [12] [1] Bibliography [ edit ] Novels [ edit ] Her descriptions of life in this part of Sydney are accurate and familiar to me (I raised little kids there, too), and the relationships between all the family members are spot-on.

Select a format:

I liked all the sisters as they try to get their lives straightened out. The sister who seems to have it all is barely holding it together. Another sister made me afraid to ever fall in the love again. The other sister I thought had a slightly too facile reaction to a past relationship in terms of the mistakes she continued to make with men. But all in all, I enjoyed the story, the well-drawn characters, and, of course, Moriarty’s writing. Here’s another bit of gold “Someone did a ladylike fart during Beginners Yoga for Mums-to-Be”. It doesn’t get better than that. Down to earth and a touch self-deprecating, AKA real!
