About this listen

Three sisters, one birthday, one little problem...

The three Kettle sisters have had a mortifying mishap. Their raucous, champagne-soaked birthday dinner has come to an abrupt end following a violent argument and an emergency dash to the hospital.

So who started it this time? Was it angry, hurt Cat, still recovering from the 'night of the spaghetti'? Was it Lyn, so serenely successful, at least on the outside? Or was it quirky, dreamy Gemma, the sister who can't keep a secret except for the most important one of all?

Critic Reviews

"I adored Three Wishes...fresh, very, very funny...also intelligent and unsentimental about family dynamics." (Marian Keyes)

Beautifully written

My new favourite Australian author, funny, poignant and witty, sets a beautiful scene of an Australian families up and downs and how their relationships help and hinder them. Love how the author drops little observations of the family from strangers into the story. The little memories of their childhoods or early adulthoods makes this a rich and vibrant story, giving each of the characters depth and interest. The narrator is amazing and gives each of the characters a unique and satisfying personality in the telling. Laughed and cried, loved it all.

A little slow to get going

Took a while to get into the story as it felt like quite a long build. Nice read when it got there. Not to much actually happened though.

Absolutely brilliant!

Absolutely brilliant! Became totally swept away with the characters and story. It was like being part of the family .. the laughter, the tears and unwavering love. I could find snippets of people I know, even my own family. Liane has an incredible insight into human nature and Caroline cleverly brought everyone to life. 10 out of 10!!

really enjoyed this one!

another great one by LM

really enjoyed this book glad she didn't do the obvious with one of the storylines (as nice as it would have been for the character to have things wrapped up in a bow).

thoroughly enjoyed and will listen to it again.

Love the way Liane Moriarty tells this story

I loved how this was written from different characters perspectives, entwining memories and included random observations from bystanders at different times throughout the triplets' lives. It added more depth to the characters and believability.

Twists

I loved how the plot takes many different turns and how the tension is built slowly.
