How have I only just properly discovered Aussie author Liane Moriarty? I loved this book, and can't believe it's her first novel (she now has many more under her belt) - it's so richly written. I appreciate how she didn't produce any last-minute sugarcoating out of the hat. I really did believe in the strength of the characters to pull through: in fact, it made me believe in the resilience of the human race!' MARIAN KEYES The funny, heartwarming, and completely charming first novel from Liane Moriarty, the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Nine Perfect Strangers and Big Little Lies. Moriarty’s first novel, written with wisdom, humor, and sincerity, is an honest look at sisters who have a bond stronger than anything life throws their way.” — Booklist Three Wishes is about triples (2 identical, 1 fraternal) and the ups/downs of their late 20s and early 30s. Pregnancies, marriages, affairs, jobs, run-ins with the law, dealing with divorced parents, et al. Each sister has a defined personality, and I liked them all. I suffered a bit from the non-American syndrome, meaning life can be so different in other countries that I might not always connect with the way they do certain things. It's funny how we can all be so different, yet offer great things from a different perspective. I liked how the story was pieced together through different POVs and time periods, but not necessarily clear ones. Sometimes we're uncertain when the plot takes place. Other times we're not entirely sure which sister is the focus.A lot of people talk about humor in Liane Moriarty's books but everything irritated me, things that were supposed to be funny, they didn't feel funny to me rather it all felt too dreary and I kept rolling my eyes throughout. There was a lot of drama but it was all predictable and just didn't work for me. I did like the sisters' bonding.

Despite all their dramas and some dark themes being explored, the author is SO good at still creating humour, and I laughed throughout this entire novel. I think this was her debut novel, and man it was good. Probably the funniest one I've read by her. Sure, her other books also have lough out loud moments, but this one was loaded with them. Everything I love about Moriarty is evident in this novel, the almost whimsical quality of the story, the dark undertones, and loads of emotions and family drama, but alas, this one fell a little flat for me.Petski, Denise (28 November 2016).

"How Sydney author Liane Moriarty sold six million books and inspired an HBO series". The Sydney Morning Herald . Retrieved 3 April 2017. After leaving school, Moriarty worked in advertising and marketing at a legal publishing company. She then ran her own company for a while before taking work as a freelance advertising copywriter. In 2004, after obtaining a master's degree at Macquarie University in Sydney, her first novel Three Wishes, written as part of the degree, was published. [1] She has since published eight further novels. 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. The four Delaney children—Amy, Logan, Troy, and Brooke—were tennis stars in their own right, yet as their father will tell you, none of them had what it took to go all the way. But that’s okay, now that they’re all successful grown-ups and there is the wonderful possibility of grandchildren on the horizon.

Another funny, drama-filled, soap opera like, juuuuicy novel from Liane Moriarty and it's crept in my favourites from her. After reading most of Liane Moriarty’s novels, it was interesting to read her debut. Although you call tell that’s she certainly honed her craft since then, her trademark humour and deep understanding of her characters shines through. Nobody writes female characters as well as she does and the three sisters in this novel are so well drawn you would recognise them in an instant if you met them. This wasn’t my favorite Liane Moriarty book, but I enjoyed it a lot. A story about triplets—two identical, one fraternal—it’s about the friendship and angry spats that come from having a family. Nobody can piss you off in an instant quite like a family member because it’s never just about the one thing you’re upset about, it’s an accumulation of your shared history. Which is the exact same reason no one will understand you in quite the same way your sisters will—they had the same parents and thus the same strengths and weaknesses facing the world. I kept seeing Liane's name about the place, then was drawn to reading her debut tome as it's about triplet sisters and I'm preggers with twins. Well, I will definitely be searching out more of her titles.

I really like Liane Moriarty. The ex-advertising copywriter delivers Sydney based tales featuring gritty women who have loud, forthright conversations and live complex, secret ridden lives. I’ve heard her output described as chic lit, but but this feels like a diminishment of what are uniformly snappy, funny and often hard hitting stories. My advice is grab one and judge for yourselves – if you’re not already a convert, that is. The two blondes are gorgeous, one being a perfectionist, tightly scheduled, every-hair-in-place cool number, the other seeming more casual and less anxious, ‘seeming’ being the operative word. As for the redhead, Gemma, well, she’s in a class of her own and likes to brag that she had a whole egg to herself, while her sisters each had only a half. 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.

I listened to this on audio, as I have all of her books, read by the wonderful Caroline Lee. She brings the whole thing alive with huge energy and aplomb, the only minor slip up being the imposition of a Geordie accent on a Mancunian. A minor issue, for which I forgive her. 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! I think what makes me love Liane Moriarty's storytelling is the sheer honesty with which she describes her characters and their inner thoughts. I continuously find myself thinking 'Yes! That's exactly what I thought, but never dared say it'. The writing was okay but like I said, I didn't like two MCs so I just couldn't enjoy the story. I really pushed myself to finish reading this and I don't know why I bothered because it was the worst ending a book could have. I will still give other books of this writer a go. Sensible Lyn is struggling to balance being a mother, wife and businesswoman without losing her mind.The Delaney family love one another dearly—it’s just that sometimes they want to murder each other . . . 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! 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.
