About this deal

Having been quite disappointed in my last Moriarty read (Truly Madly Guilty) I was very pleased with Three Wishes. I listened to this on audio, as I have all of her books, read by the wonderful Caroline Lee. She brings the whole thing alive with huge energy and aplomb, the only minor slip up being the imposition of a Geordie accent on a Mancunian. A minor issue, for which I forgive her. 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 want to be a Kettle sister. Ha! But I’d do anything for some extra excitement. Nuff said. This is the author's debut. I don’t see that she has anything to improve on if I was to be honest! I just love her original stories, she's got a flair for it. In September 2013, CBS Films acquired the rights to an earlier Moriarty novel, The Husband's Secret. [5] In May 2017, it was announced that the film will star Blake Lively. [6] In February 2022, it was announced that Kat Coiro would be directing the film for Sony Pictures. [7] Cat felt that sense of pleasure and pride she always felt when she saw her sisters in public. ‘Look at them!’ she wanted to say to people. ‘My sisters. Aren’t they great? Aren’t they annoying?’” 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. Ng, Philiana (4 September 2013). "CBS Films to Adapt 'The Husband's Secret' for Big Screen". The Hollywood Reporter . Retrieved 16 July 2018.The funny, heartwarming, and completely charming first novel from Liane Moriarty, the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Nine Perfect Strangers and Big Little Lies. I liked all the sisters as they try to get their lives straightened out. The sister who seems to have it all is barely holding it together. Another sister made me afraid to ever fall in the love again. The other sister I thought had a slightly too facile reaction to a past relationship in terms of the mistakes she continued to make with men. But all in all, I enjoyed the story, the well-drawn characters, and, of course, Moriarty’s writing. Kroll, Justin (25 May 2017). "Blake Lively to Star in Thriller 'The Husband's Secret' From 'Big Little Lies' Author". Variety . Retrieved 16 July 2018. I suppose I enjoyed the little bit of irony involving the triplets parents the best, although it was not the HEA I was anticipating in the book, I suppose it will just have to do. I may have to write the author and beg her to publish an additional epilogue for this one to assure me Cat’s life turned to be as full as the rest of her family’s. For some reason, I really need to know the details! I very much enjoyed this story as the character development was outstanding. I felt I truly knew each sister and how they would behave at every juncture. The transitions to the past were timely as they aptly provided context for the three women's present characterizations. The twists in their stories, especially Gemma's, were stunning, catching me off guard. The men in their lives created even more texture to the story as they represented choices that deeply impacted their individual and collective destinies. Lastly, there were passages provided intermittently throughout the book that were observations by strangers. That was a unique device that gave additional insights about the family interactions and it really worked for me.

Her novel Big Little Lies was adapted into a television series by HBO, [2] and stars Reese Witherspoon, Nicole Kidman, Shailene Woodley, Laura Dern, Zoë Kravitz, and Alexander Skarsgård. The series premiered on 19 February 2017, with the first season concluding on 2 April 2017. [3] A second season was announced in December 2017. [4] Season two premiered in June 2019. Moriarty lives in Sydney with her husband, Adam, a former farmer from Tasmania. They have two children, George and Anna. [10] [11] She is the older sister of author Jaclyn Moriarty. [12] [1] Bibliography [ edit ] Novels [ edit ] 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. 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!'
