I listened to this book and at first I had a hard time keeping trsck of who was who and also I didn't get the little vignettes told by observers throughout the book which I believe would have been obvious if I was reading it. Anyway, once I had everyone sorted out and who belonged with whom, I started to enjoy this story about triplet adult sisters.

I read this on vacation. The only reason I did not rate this as a 4 is because I was disappointed with the ended, I was left wanting more.
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 and remind me of my own sisterships.

I'll echo what Raquel said: far from literature, but a fun read. Quick summer read.

I really enjoyed this book. I'm not surprised that it was later books that brought her work to the US, but this is fun and definitely worth a read.

I read this book earlier this year and have no idea why i failed to review it at the time. Oh well, I'm just here to tell you that like all of Moriarty's books, I love her style - the way she combines a supposedly vapid subject with characters and scenes that really make you think. I liked it a lot.

I feel this one has redeemed Moriarty after the utter disappointment that was Nine Perfect Strangers.
Other than a few poor language choices, I was really impressed that this one didn’t feel super dated.
I liked the characters and I thought the pace of the book was great - until the end - I found it a little rushed.
I did like that by the end things weren’t perfectly resolved.
I liked the honest depiction of family dynamics and their complexity and that while it wasn’t an unhappy ending - it certainly wasn’t all tied up neatly!
A really engaging start too and lovely chapter lengths!
