The Three Wishes by Liane Moriarty
The books tells the story of triplets Cat, Lyn and Gemma Kettle and their parents Maxine and Frank. The prologue describes a dinner to celebrate their 34th birthday. One of the triplets is pregnant and they have a huge row. The story then goes back 3 years and we slowly find out what led to the bust up and which of the three sisters is pregnant.
This is definitely one of Moriarty's better books. It's fast paced with lots of interesting characters, particularly the men each of the sisters is involved with. There are moments you want to cheer and moments you want to cover your eyes. There are short anecdotes between many of the chapters written by people who have seen the three attractive, vivacious sisters out together. The author uses these to show the effect the girls have on other people.The story provides insights into being 'a multiple', being married to a triplet and being the parents of triplets. The girls have very different personalities when they're apart, but when they're together there's a Kettle Triplets persona that they share.
