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. A lot of people talk about humor in Liane Moriarty's books but everything irritated me, things that were supposed to be funny, they didn't feel funny to me rather it all felt too dreary and I kept rolling my eyes throughout. There was a lot of drama but it was all predictable and just didn't work for me. I did like the sisters' bonding.

As in Moriarty’s hugely successful Big Little Lies, there is plenty going on behind closed doors, the secrets they DO keep from each other making you want to read just one more chapter. You’re a completest, like me. Having read all of Liane Moriarty’s other novels, it always bothered me that I wouldn’t honestly be able to rave, “I’ve read all your books!” if I ever ran into her at an airport or something. After reading this one - her first, originally published in 2004 - crisis averted!I kept seeing Liane's name about the place, then was drawn to reading her debut tome as it's about triplet sisters and I'm preggers with twins. Well, I will definitely be searching out more of her titles. Over the following days, while Maxine was chastely dating more suitable boys and Frank was pursuing a curvy brunette, two freshly fertilised eggs were busily bumping their way along Maxine’s fallopian tubes towards the haven of her horrified young uterus.” Gemma, is the whishy-washy one. She was once engaged to a moody, controlling man who so happened to walk in front of a bus, literally. Since then, she has floated around and house sits. She has no permanent place or person in her life. She meets Charlie and finds him to be "the one", however, she struggles with the fact that his sister is having an affair with her sister Cat's husband. She eventually becomes pregnant and in the end, she's with Charlie and they live happily ever after.

How have I only just properly discovered Aussie author Liane Moriarty? I loved this book, and can't believe it's her first novel (she now has many more under her belt) - it's so richly written. I must add this passage, which shows how they think (scheme?). This is about an upcoming date with a newish fella.

The Delaneys are fixtures in their community. The parents, Stan and Joy, are the envy of all of their friends. They’re killers on the tennis court, and off it their chemistry is palpable. But after fifty years of marriage, they’ve finally sold their famed tennis academy and are ready to start what should be the golden years of their lives. So why are Stan and Joy so miserable?

The writing was okay but like I said, I didn't like two MCs so I just couldn't enjoy the story. I really pushed myself to finish reading this and I don't know why I bothered because it was the worst ending a book could have. I will still give other books of this writer a go. The story follows three women, in this case triplets, and their lives - husbands, kids, family relations. Most of Moriarty's books follow this patter, and in some cases it does gets repetitive, but this book felt fresh for some reason. Maybe because it was her first work, when she found her style. Maybe because the way the story was told brought different perspectives, I don't know, but it was very, very enjoyable. Cat, whose perfect marriage is the envy of all her friends, never suspected that her husband had been hiding a secret that will tear her life apart.You're having one of those days of accumulating misery when you argue violently with someone in a position of power: a bank teller, a dry cleaner, a three-year-old.” 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. I don't know why recently I've been having such craving for women fiction. Maybe because I'm getting closer and closer to being thirty, and her books usually focus on women of that age. Maybe because I cannot get enough of family drama, social life problems, motherhood, relationships and anything else that life throws at women in her books. But I inhale simply inhale her books.
