    Overview of Three Wishes

    Three identical triplets, one chaotic restaurant scene, countless secrets. Liane Moriarty's debut novel - her master's thesis turned NYT bestseller - delivers her trademark blend of humor and family drama that would later define her blockbuster career. Less polished but possibly her funniest work.

    When Three Wishes Collide: The Spectacular Restaurant Incident

    Have you ever wondered what it would be like to share your birthday, your looks, and your entire childhood with two other people? For the Kettle triplets-Cat, Lyn, and Gemma-this reality erupted into public spectacle one cold June night at Portofino's, an upscale Sydney restaurant. What began as their thirty-fourth birthday celebration ended with one sister wielding a fondue fork like a weapon before hurling it across the table at her pregnant sister, where it became embedded-with surgical precision-in her stomach. As crimson blood seeped through cream silk, the attacker fainted, hitting her chin with a crack on a mahogany chair. Meanwhile, the third sister displayed an almost surreal calm, calling an ambulance while simultaneously ordering ice water from a stunned waiter. Within hours, versions of this dramatic scene were being described across the city-in homes, offices, and coffee shops-each telling slightly different from the last. But to understand how three successful professional women ended up in such a situation, we need to go back to the beginning.
