A true coming of age for three sisters, but also part “Erin Brockovich” in determination and downright strife. I appreciate each voice for their own and the author allows them to be just that. A full circle ending left me with a grin on my face and hope in my heart. For life is not won without a few battles and those we love.

I loved this book. I listened to the audiobook version and the multiple narrators for the different point of views was fantastic. The story itself was heartbreaking but inspiring. I picked this book because it would fill a reading prompt challenge and I am so glad I did. I highly recommend.

One liner: Three teenage girls battle industrial pollution in a depressed community.
I read this book for a book club and it definitely wasn’t one I would have picked up on my own. It was a beautifully written book told from the perspective of triplets born in a town plagued by industrial waste. I loved the contrast of the three girls’ viewpoints. The book had the feel of Radium Girls (no one will listen to the people suffering). While it wasn’t a fictionalized account of a specific incident like that book, I got the feeling it could have been so many different incidents which was almost more sad.
I loved the writing style and the characters in this book and am so thankful that it was picked for our book club.
I had no idea what to expect from this story but it was so well written, well researched and thought provoking.
Frankel discusses water pollution and bioterrorism leading to the variations of developmental deficits in children born during this time.
This story is told in 3 POVs by 3 triplet sisters who were each effected differently by this water pollution. There is also a sweet highschool romance. A mother who does everything to fight for her children to be treated equally and to absorb as much knowledge as possible.
The family dynamics, environmental problems, the town coming together and falling apart, sisterhood, and friendships truly make this a great story.
Thank you for an ARC for my honest review. The narration of this was outstanding as well!

Easy to read, character that are quirky and mostly (just the right amount) lovable, and an enemy to root against. Nearly perfect! Laurie Frankel does not disappoint once again.
