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. 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?’” You want your reads to be memorable. I finished this a few days ago, and having already forgotten 90 percent of the book, I had to take the struggle bus to Review Town. Jeez, I sure wish I could remember things longer than three seconds.

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! This is the story of the Kettle sisters, Gemma, Lyn and Cat, 33-years old triplets (two are identical twins) and a look at their lives at a pivotal moment in time. It's told in each of their voices, transitioning from past to present as they each face a critical issue. The dynamics of how they interact with each other is also an important aspect of their story. Also, Moriarty needs to write more books because I have only two to go before I've read all of her works. I've just had such a craving for women fiction this year, particularly Liane Moriarty's women fiction . It's only March of 2018, but I've already read 3 of her books. 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.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.

Well, this was not exactly very good. It changes p.o.v. between the 3 sisters and also has little pointless excerts from a strangers p.o.v. that is never discussed in the book. It really doesn't go anywhere and I didn't learn anything. You like likeable characters. This is a novel about three twin sisters muddling through dramas in their early thirties (including adultery, infertility, and compulsive relationship sabotage), and I wouldn’t want to be friends with any of them. Now, wrapping a towel around her, her mouth minty with Listerine (tonight was most definitely first kiss time), she went dripping down the hallway into her bedroom to choose her most unsexy, unmatching underwear so she wouldn’t be tempted to sleep with him too soon.”

If your mother was missing, would you tell the police? Even if the most obvious suspect was your father? 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. 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. 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. The Kettle sisters depicted and their various partners, exes and rellies all seem so real and will 'live on' in your mind - no joke. I particularly loved the quirky, dreamy triplet Gemma - the other two, Cat and Lyn, were a bit harder around the edges, but very realistically painted.

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. The four Delaney children—Amy, Logan, Troy, and Brooke—were tennis stars in their own right, yet as their father will tell you, none of them had what it took to go all the way. But that’s okay, now that they’re all successful grown-ups and there is the wonderful possibility of grandchildren on the horizon.Her novel Nine Perfect Strangers, published November 6, 2018, was adapted into a television series by Hulu, starring and produced by Nicole Kidman. [8] [9] Personal life [ edit ] The two blondes are gorgeous, one being a perfectionist, tightly scheduled, every-hair-in-place cool number, the other seeming more casual and less anxious, ‘seeming’ being the operative word. As for the redhead, Gemma, well, she’s in a class of her own and likes to brag that she had a whole egg to herself, while her sisters each had only a half. Ng, Philiana (4 September 2013). "CBS Films to Adapt 'The Husband's Secret' for Big Screen". The Hollywood Reporter . Retrieved 16 July 2018. 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. The three Kettle sisters have had a mortifying mishap. Their raucous, champagne-soaked birthday dinner has come to an abrupt end following a violent argument and an emergency dash to the hospital. So who started it this time? Was it angry, hurt Cat, still recovering from the 'Night of the Spaghetti'? Was it Lyn, so serenely successful, at least on the outside? Or was it quirky, dreamy Gemma, the sister who can't keep a secret, except for the most important one of all?
