I was choosing between 4.5 and 5 for this book and decided to go with the higher rating. This is actually Liane Moriarty's first book and it was amazing. The story opens with a very funny scene in a restaurant where at a table of three women celebrating together, one throws a fondue fork into another one's very pregnant belly. The opening chapter is told from the perspective of other people in the restaurant and the rest of the book fills in the history. The cast is the Kettle family - 33 year old triplets, who couldn't be more different, their parents and partners. Lots of issues, from sibling rivalry, to infidelity, to anxiety and divorce are covered. I just loved the three Kettle girls and was sad when the book ended.

It was an entertaining and quick read. While it is light hearted it dives into some deep emotional situations. Would be good for a book club discussion.
