Three Wishes

Product Information

Another bestselling novel by Big Little Lies author Liane Moriarty is headed to the small screen.EveryWhere Studios has optioned the rights to Moriarty’s Three Wishes for a series adaptation written by playwright/TV writer Lila Feinberg (Younger). I hear the drama project is set up at Netflix for development. 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. It goes without saying that being about triplet sisters made things even more interesting as most of us are intrigued by twins, triplets and so on. Because there’s some things that Liane Moriarty does extremely well here. She paints amazingly complex portraits of realistic, flawed people. Their relationships to each other, the inner lives kept secret from even their spouses, the paths of their psychologies—all so well-drawn. These are characters that are so real that it’s almost uncomfortable to read about them.

The writing was okay but like I said, I didn't like two MCs so I just couldn't enjoy the story. I really pushed myself to finish reading this and I don't know why I bothered because it was the worst ending a book could have. I will still give other books of this writer a go. Her novel Nine Perfect Strangers, published November 6, 2018, was adapted into a television series by Hulu, starring and produced by Nicole Kidman.

It is a character study, no doubt about it, so for those who need action to keep them interested, TMG may not work well. The book length is a bit hefty, but as in Big Little Lies, I knew that the various revelations would not come until the very end. I'm okay with that and in fact enjoy a drawn out lead up when the writing is great. And this is. While Three Wishes is a warm-hearted novel about triplets and their impending birthday, it is, at its heart, about the nature of siblings to fall into pre-determined roles in the family. In most cases, each member of a family plays some role in the working of the unit as a whole. For example, in stereotypical households, the mother is the caregiver and the father the provider. What is your role in your family?I really liked the pace of this book. Stories that drag tend to bore me, as I'm sure they do most people. There was always something happening or some type of drama needing to be resolved in this story. I really particularly love how, at least in all of the stories I have read from her, Liane Moriarty starts her books with some type of tragedy, but you don't know who it happened to, who did it, or why they did it. It makes for an interesting read.

Three Wishes: A Novel: Moriarty, Liane, Moriarty, Liane

An entertaining exploration of an offbeat, yet surprisingly ordinary, family. You’ll long to make friends with these delightful young women.”— Woman's Day It’s not all fun and games, of course, and everything is not cheerfully perfect in the various households. There are shadowy undertones, but not the dark, criminal elements of Big Little Lies. 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.” Having read quite a few Liane Moriarty the twists and turns in this book were predictable, and I felt like this is one of my least favorite of her books due to the ending. Moriarty is usually great at tying up all the loose ends at the end, but this one is left open ended which I didn't enjoy as much. I like that she makes everything look so bleak and then ends on a happy note, and while this one did sort of end on a happy note, it wasn't as happy as it could have been I suppose, which is partially why I read her books. So can you just imagine how mortified she must have been when she woke up in the hospital only to discover that she is actually 39 years old, with three kids and is getting divorced?The cycles of dysfunction and mental illness did not have to carry over from generation to generation. You just had to educate yourself."

A joyful, bighearted valentine to sisters. Full of charm and cleverness, Three Wishes is a rich, enticing birthday cake of a book. Patricia GaffneyThe story follows the three triplets who are going through different things in their lives. Gemma is a free spirit and just enjoys her life and she has someone who could be the one. Lyn has a great life. Cat is married and wants kids desperately and then she finds out that her husband is a cheater. I couldn't like Gemma and Lyn but I liked Cat. In fact, my heart went out to Cat and only because of Cat I finished this book. This is one of those long, drawn-out stories that's more about character assessment and the hardships of life than it is a story based on its plot.
