Not normally the type of book I read, but two friends were praising it highly and loaned it to me. Quite an enjoyable read

Liane Moriarty has had a lot of success recently with her spiky barbed female-led thrillers but this was her debut novel, with an altogether different theme. The story is about the three Kettle triplets – flighty, dreamy Gemma, organized and meticulous Lynne and moody Kat (although she has a lot to be moody about!)

In the opening scene, various unnamed characters are describing a scene in a restaurant where the three woman are celebrating their birthday – we know that at least one is heavily pregnant – and a huge argument breaks out. The story then goes back about a year and describes the events that led up to the birthday incident.

I listened to this as an audiobook, and thought Caroline Lee did an excellent job of the narration. Both she and Moriarty gave each Kettle sister their own distinctive character and voice and it was a pleasure to listen to.

This is not a psychological thriller, which Moriarty writes much more of these days; it’s a drama about life, love, relationships, jobs and the whole messy shebang. As the story goes on, the sisters are each fleshed out and we learn more about their motivations, their lives and their secrets. I didn’t warm to Cat but I did feel sorry for what she went through. I also found Lynne hard to like initially, but as the story went on I did warm to her, with her fears of being anything less than perfect. However, I adored Gemma. For all her love of impermanence, all of her refusal to settle down to one man, or one job, or even one home, she was kind and lovely, and her backstory was slowly revealed which explained a lot.

There’s tragedy and heartbreak, and there’s lots of love too and some amusing scenes. (Especially with the girls’ grandmother and their parents). It’s deeper that the cover might lead anyone to expect and very enjoyable. If you like fiction about women, written predominantly FOR women, then you might like to give this a try.

There's a little mystery, a thought provoking, romance and very good read.

This book hit me at exactly the right time as I'm currently in the lead up to my youngest daughter beginning pre primary. The year that was Kindy is fresh in my mind and I felt I could connect with many of the characters in some way.

The beginning of the book tells us there has been a murder and as the story progresses I was splitting the characters in to "Please Don't Die" and "You Can Die" categories and then found myself 'saving' characters after horribly misjudging them.

This book is the right amount of suspenseful, emotional, political, enlightening and funny to keep me interested the whole way through without being too much of anything.

I would consider this a light read but with the extra elements making it memorable.
