Description
From the no. 1 New York Times bestselling author of The Husband's Secret and Big Little Lies "I adored Three Wishes ...fresh, very, very funny ...also intelligent and unsentimental about family dynamics" Marian Keyes "Written with wisdom, humor, and sincerity" Booklist Three sisters, one birthday, one little problem ...It happens sometimes that you accidentally star in a little public performance, your very own comedy, tragedy or melodrama. The three Kettle sisters have been accidentally starring in public performances all their lives, affecting their audiences in more ways than they'll ever know. This time, however, they give a particularly spectacular show when a raucous, champagne-soaked birthday dinner ends in a violent argument and an emergency dash to the hospital. So who started it this time? Was it Cat: full of angry, hurt passion dating back to the 'Night of the Spaghetti'? Was it Lynn: serenely successful, at least on the outside? Or was it Gemma: quirky, dreamy and unable to keep a secret, except for the most important one of all? Whoever the culprit, their lives will have all changed dramatically before the next inevitable clash of shared genes and shared childhoods. Fans of Jojo Moyes, Jodi Picoult and Paula Hawkins will love Liane Moriarty.

Reviews'Funny, wry, touching... the drama is raw and real. Each of the beautifully drawn characters is so vividly alive, their triumph becomes your own, you choke a bit when bad things happen and want to throw rocks at anyone who hurts them.' - Australian Women's Weekly Book of the Month 'I appreciate how she didn't produce any last-minute sugarcoating out of the hat. I really did believe in the strength of the characters to pull through: in fact, it made me believe in the resilience of the human race!' - Marian Keyes
