That’s why the audiobook gets four out of five rating.
She gives a unique voice to all the characters other than the three sisters too. She brings out the whimsical nature of Gemma, the whininess of Kate and the quiet voice of Lin brilliantly. But it became alright by the end as I got used to it. Review: Heather’s Australian accent was a little tough to grasp at first. All this journey to understand why they fought on their own birthday party. Followed by the journey through their childhood till present. Thus begins the story from the point they were in their mother’s womb. When their mother reaches the hospital, she finds them laughing and chatting. And the ambulance takes the three sisters to the hospital The restaurant’s manager calls for an ambulance. And the pregnant sister goes into labor with a fork sticking into her pregnant belly. The fighting reaches up to a point where one of them throws a fork at her pregnant sister and then herself collapses. Everything is going on smoothly until they start fighting and shouting at each other. Maybe that was "artistic license" but it just didn't' work for me.The story starts in a Chinese restaurant where the three Kettle triplets Cat, Lin, and Gemma are celebrating their birthday. And, I didn't understand why there was so much given to Gemma's abusive history with Marcus but then nothing ever came of it later in the story. *SPOILER ALERT* - Not that I needed Cat's marriage to end up happy with all forgiven, it's just that I thought it was hokey the way the final scene between her and Dan played out at the park. The downside for me was the resolutions, or lack thereof, in some of the story lines - most notably the one with Cat's marriage and with Gemma's history with Marcus. I think most of us could in some way identify, on some level, with any or all of the sisters in this book.
For me, the book started off well, presenting us with the dynamics and associated life struggles each sister was dealing with. The fact that I was fairly addicted to this book from the beginning was the factor that sealed that decision. I was torn on whether to give this book two stars or three, and obviously decided to go with three.
