![]() There are some authors that I love precisely because they visit and revisit themes that resonate strongly with me. Liane Moriarty, unfortunately, is the opposite. I love her writing, but between books I forget that she is deeply obsessed with pregnancy and women who desperately want, but who are unable to have, children. Everyone has a few personal pet peeves, and this is one of mine. I am very, very annoyed by stories about pregnancy in general, but when characters can’t have them, they suddenly turn into defunct baby factories: the only thing that’s important to or about them is what they can’t do. I know I’m supposed to sympathize, but seriously.Ĭhildren dominate Three Wishes.
