thepagelady's review against another edition
4.0
Mab’s job is the hardest of all: get good grades, get into college, get out of Bourne.
For a few weeks seventeen years ago, Bourne was national news when its water turned green. The girls have come of age watching their mother’s endless fight for justice. But just when it seems life might go on the same forever, the first moving truck anyone’s seen in years pulls up and unloads new residents and old secrets.
Soon, the Mitchell sisters are taking on a system stacked against them and uncovering mysteries buried longer than they’ve been alive. Because it's hard to let go of the past when the past won't let go of you.
Thank you, Henry Holt & Co for sponsoring this Goodreads giveaway giving me the chance to read One Two Three by Laurie Frankel!
This is one of those books where the characters will stay with you long after you have read their story! This is my first book by Laurie Frankel and it will not be my last! The sisters Mab, Monday, and Mirabel aka one, two, three, are remarkable characters, loving, kind and sweet. How can you not fall in love with them! The small-town feel of the book made me feel like I was home again in Palmyra, NY. It's a small town, so small there's only one high school, one middle school and one elementary school. I laughed out loud and at other times I had tears in my eyes. The single-minded determination that Nora the mother shows is something to behold. I don’t know how but Laurie Frankel took a sad, heartbreaking story and weaved it into a beautiful, heartwarming book! Happy reading everyone!

I listened to this book and the narrators did an amazing job. My favourite narrator was the third one who represented Mirabel who was able to add an echo to imitate an audio recorded voice.
The story was very interesting reminding me of Erin Brockovich. I enjoyed the aspect of teenagers influencing their town. I did feel there was unnecessary language or scenes in this book and I would have enjoyed the story more had this been eliminated. The story line was well done and I did enjoy the ending. Great job on the audiobook production.

Happy Disability Awareness Month! I loved this look into the lives of triplets with a variety of abilities and disabilities created by dangerous run off from a local factory. A depressing look into environmental problems and disability activism!

• Thank you to Henry Holt & Company and NetGalley for providing this Advance Reading Copy. Expected publication date is June 8, 2021.
In the small, fictional town of Bourne life has been stagnant for 17 years. That’s when the chemical company that dumped poison into the land and water shut down and left town. Many of the residents died and those who didn’t bore children with severe birth defects and/or on the spectrum. Three of these children, triplets, although impaired are brilliant. When the company threatens to come back and resume operation, the triplets find a way to permanently closed them down.
