Lyn, Cat, and Gemma Kettle, beautiful thirty-three-year-old triplets, seem to attract attention everywhere they go. Together, laughter, drama, and mayhem seem to follow them. But apart, each is dealing with her own share of ups and downs. Lyn has organized her life into one big checklist, Cat has just learned a startling secret about her marriage, and Gemma, who bolts every time a relationship hits the six-month mark, holds out hope for lasting love. In this wise, witty, and hilarious novel, we follow the Kettle sisters through their tumultuous thirty-third year as they deal with sibling rivalry and secrets, revelations and relationships, unfaithful husbands and unthinkable decisions, and the fabulous, frustrating life of forever being part of a trio.
Things I Liked:
And, more of the same rather depressing lives of Moriarty characters (shouldn't have read it back-to-back with Big Little Lies). I really didn't much care for any of the sisters, though I could relate a few times to what they experienced. I'm not quite sure what to make of the ending, as it isn't really happy, just kind of accepting. Plenty of twists and drama and of course the terrible husbands that make appearances in all of her books (I am avoiding The Husbands Secret, as I already know that's a terrible husband book).
Things I Didn't Like:
Just not really that enjoyable to read. Kind of like watching a soap opera, though, if you like those.
Read-alikes:
Her other books seem rather similar

Overall rating: **
:( I've only read Big Little Lies so far but I liked it. I guess her books aren't for you. Do you at least like the writing? I think she's a great writer.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I do like the writing, I guess they aren't for me (though I really liked What Alice Forgot).
