From penguin.co.uk:
They say trouble always comes in threes. And for sisters Lyn, Cat and Gemma Kettle, the year they turn thirty-three is no exception.
Sensible Lyn is struggling to balance being a mother, wife and businesswoman without losing her mind. Cat, whose perfect marriage is the envy of all her friends, never suspects that her husband has been hiding a secret that will tear her life apart. And directionless Gemma, who changes jobs and boyfriends every few months, has just met a new man who could be the one to unlock her hidden past.
Through everything, the bonds of the sisters are strong enough to withstand whatever life throws at them. That is until the night of their thirty-fourth birthday dinner, when home truths are revealed and things are said that can't be taken back...

Ooh, I did not expect this at all. Thanks for a complete surprise, Tarya!
Quick-witted and quite believable story about a triplet family. It was easy to feel fond of these characters, they were strong and vulnerable at the same time. And so different from each other in a way, too.
Based on this book I would gladly read more books from Moriarty.

A wishlist surprise for lukutuoli, enjoy!
Thanks for this great surprise, Bookgeo! I've read two books by Moriarty this summer and she has become one of my favourites :) Can't wait to read this, too!
I have read several Moriarty's books in Finnish, this was the first English version for me. I absolutely love the books by Moriarty, but this story about the triplets wasn't my favourite of them. This soap-opera was hilarious and funny, but didn't reveal the naughty secret thoughts of human beings as well as some other books by the writer :)

CONTROLLED RELEASE NOTES:
Vein tarjolle bookcrossaajien pikkujouluun ravintola Purpuriin.
Minä otin tämän kirjan kun suositeltiin. Katotaanpa mitä tykkään.
Tykkäsin kovasti tästä opuksesta. Draamaa ja romantiikkaa, just sellaista mitä luen ilomielin. Nyt on aika jakaa iloa muillekin joten kirja oottaa miittiin pääsyä :)
Tahtoo jonkun mukaan luettavaksi, hyvää matkaa kirja!!
Took it at the local meet-up. I've liked Moriarty's other books so I'll try this one as well.
Apparently, this is Liane Moriarty's first novel. That sort of explains how it was nowhere near as good as some of her later novels. Actually I found it quite boring at times. The dynamics of the triplet sisters was good, though.
