I was so excited to stumble across two books by Liane Moriarty on a recent trip to Wal-Mart, of all places. Moriarty wrote two of my favorite books: What Alice Forgot (which was an amazing story of a woman who loses her memory) and The Husband's Secret (the title alone drew me in). Perhaps I need to shop at Wal-Mart more often!
Three Wishes is the story of a set of triplets, Gemma, Cat, and Lyn, during their 33rd year of life. Cat and Lyn are blonde identical twins. Gemma, the red-head, made them triplets. The author does a great job of explaining their conception in case you can't follow this :). The characters are genuine, lovable, and laughable. In fact, I recently told a friend that I thought she would love this book because the mushy-gushy parts are so hilarious it's almost impossible to cry while reading this book.
What I loved most about this story, aside from the fact that it just showcases real women living real lives that could actually exist, is the little side stories Moriarity includes from bystanders who actually see these triplets in real life living their real lives and commenting on them. These ladies have made a lasting impression on everyone who seems them. They really are extraordinary characters.
Throw this one in your beach bag. It will make your day!
Happy reading, everyone!
