I don't know what I was expecting with this book, but it was SO good on audio! We have three perspectives and three different narrators—Mab, the oldest, the one whose job is to "succeed" in life; Monday, the town's librarian since the library closed and the one who prefers yellow things; and Mirabel, the smartest one, the one who is confined to a wheelchair and can only speak with a robotic speech synthesizer. Each triplet gets her own wonderful arc and development. There wasn't one that I liked better than the others. They're sixteen years old and allowed to be teenagers and do teenager things without being annoying or frustrating as characters. I couldn't stop listening to this one because of their voices. We get a lot of nice side characters too, particularly their mom, but no one is without complexity and some development. There's a fair amount of plot in this story, but the characters are the real standout.
As for the plot, it was compelling and nicely paced, and it had me on the edge of my seat at points. I didn't know how it would end, but I have to say, the ending was everything I didn't know I wanted.
I love sister stories, and the Mitchell triplets were no exception. Their interactions, their relationships with each other—I won't soon forget them.
Thanks so much to Libro.fm, Macmillan Audio, and the author for my ALC!

I was nervous about how the author of this book would handle the topic of disability. I feel like she did an excellent job but I will be paying closer attention to the press around this book as we get closer to publication to see what the disability community has to say about this book.
