One Two Three are triplets - Mab (One), Monday (Two), and Mirabel (Three). They're coming of age in Bourne, a small, poor town that was devastated by a factory around the time they were born.
Laurie Frankel's latest got to a slow start for me, as I wrapped my head around this town and its characters. I especially liked the sisters' distinct voices -- they're truly individuals. Without being too heavy-handed, Frankel showed the ways in which we have different bonds with close siblings, our immediate family, friends, and neighbors. And what it is we owe them (or don't).
I appreciated this books' themes of justice and restitution, as well as the ways in which it discussed ability. It's fiction you can sink yourself into, that becomes a page-turner toward the end.
The audiobook production is fantastic. I really liked all three narrators and thought their delivery was great.

Seventeen years ago, the tiny town of Bourne made national news when its water turned green. A nearby plant is seemingly to blame but with no evidence, and no assistance for the people of the town it affected. But now the plant owners are back in town, with the hope of reopening.
The Mitchell triplets are Mab, One, is just like any other teenage girl, and smart as a whip. Monday, Two, is on the asperger’s spectrum. And Mirabel, Three, is non-verbal but communicates with a computerized voice; she is also wheelchair bound. Their mother has been fighting for justice since the day they were born.
Told in the alternating perspectives of the three girls, each of their voices is as unique and well developed as would be expected of characters written by Laurie Frankel. I loved each of the girls, their personalities strong and fabulous like their badass mother. Their perspectives were humorous through the heavy topics of environmental contamination and big bad corporations. It got a little drawn out in places, and kind of far-fetched, but otherwise I thoroughly enjoyed it. Laurie Frankel is the queen of characterization.
