I must add this passage, which shows how they think (scheme?). This is about an upcoming date with a newish fella. Your favorite kind of writing is easy, yet insightful prose. Can any other author cut to the heart of honest human behavior quite as well as Liane Moriarty? Not in my book, which is why I’ve (now) read all of hers.

Down to earth and a touch self-deprecating, AKA real! Hooton, Amanda (15 July 2016). "How Sydney author Liane Moriarty sold six million books and inspired an HBO series". The Sydney Morning Herald . Retrieved 3 April 2017. This one in particular shows me we are of the same era. I love when the books I read contain little tid bits of pop culture references that I can relate to and really bond with. Teletubies and Bananarama’s song ‘Venus’ being a couple of them. The Kettle triplets jumping around to this song with abandoned pleasure made me smile. I smiled all the way through with this Aussie story. All the characters were quirky and real, the story line funny, and every step of the way was completely engaging. 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 story follows the three triplets who are going through different things in their lives. Gemma is a free spirit and just enjoys her life and she has someone who could be the one. Lyn has a great life. Cat is married and wants kids desperately and then she finds out that her husband is a cheater. I couldn't like Gemma and Lyn but I liked Cat. In fact, my heart went out to Cat and only because of Cat I finished this book.

The Kettle sisters depicted and their various partners, exes and rellies all seem so real and will 'live on' in your mind - no joke. I particularly loved the quirky, dreamy triplet Gemma - the other two, Cat and Lyn, were a bit harder around the edges, but very realistically painted. Kroll, Justin (14 February 2022).

Retrieved 21 July 2022.Also, Moriarty needs to write more books because I have only two to go before I've read all of her works. I've just had such a craving for women fiction this year, particularly Liane Moriarty's women fiction . It's only March of 2018, but I've already read 3 of her books. Ng, Philiana (4 September 2013). "CBS Films to Adapt 'The Husband's Secret' for Big Screen". The Hollywood Reporter . Retrieved 16 July 2018. The story follows three triplet sisters, in their thirties, who all have very different personalities and outlooks on life and explores how their complex relationships with each other withstand all the dramas that life throws at them. Spoiler alert: a lot. 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. This is Moriarty’s debut novel, written in 2003 with plenty of insight and humour and empathy for both the parents (now separated and sparring) and their 30-something daughters who have the same problems their mother had and many young women have. It’s just that things seem magnified when everything is tripled. When one hurts, they all hurt, at least after two of them have finished scolding and carrying on about how the third (injured) one shouldn’t have been doing whatever she was doing at the time.
