I think listening to this on audio really enhanced the story. With 3 different narrators you felt like you really got to know each of the characters. I thought it was a little slow paced but loved the bonding of the sisters and the idea of the "kids" taking charge. It felt more like a young adult novel.

***I received an ARC from Net Galley in exchange for my honest review
Seventeen years ago, in the town of Bourne, Belsum Chemical made national news when they caused the water to turn green and poisoned, the townsfolk started coming down with a myriad of health problems, and then the company skulked out of town without admitting their wrongdoing. Now the majority of the residents that are left are poor and disabled, and the town itself is dying. Three of the most well known residents are the Mitchell triplets: Mab, Monday and Mirabel. Their mother Nora is the local (and only) therapist, part-time bartender, and is the one in charge of a 16-year-long class action lawsuit against Belsum Chemical. When the owners of the chemical plant move back into town and start making plans to re-open the plant, the entire town starts taking sides.
I absolutely adored this book. I loved all of the quirky characters. I especially loved the triplets. I really saw a bit of myself in each of them. Mab was the first born, the "normal one", and she is fun and quirky. Monday is on the spectrum and loves to play truth or dare. Mirabel is disabled and has been consigned to life in a wheelchair with a computer for a voice. I was really rooting for the girls and the downfall of the chemical company. This was a great read and I highly recommend it.

I won this book in a Goodreads Giveaway. While I found it a little tough to remember which sister was One, Two or Three, I really enjoyed their very individual personalities. Loved the story line... kind of reminiscent of Erin Brocovich only the kids were also involved in the battle. Fun read, would definitely recommend.
If you love small town family stories then this just may be the book for you.
You follow three sisters, who are triples, and their mother as they try to get justice from a chemical company who poisoned their town.
There were some really great parts but some parts did drag a little but I find a lot of family stories do that in my opinion.
This was a little Flint and Erin Brockovich in a fictional story about this family and town who was deeply affected by the chemical population from a factory that came to the town.
I think if you enjoy family stories then you will like this one and should give it a try.
Thank you to MacMillan for the ARC.
