This next part is something I would like to say about a character’s actions. It was uncontested in a way I found upsetting, but I did not take off points for it as a character flaw is not a book flaw (the -.25 is for the corny first chapter, lol). It is definitely a spoiler:

Triplet teenage sisters rotate narration through each chapter of this book about a small town dealing with the fallout of a chemical plant ravaging their area 17 years ago. That description alone would not have pulled me in, and I never would’ve picked this one up if not for Bad Bitch Book Club, but the narration is SO DAMN GOOD, and the story is part coming-of-age, part mystery, part Erin Brockovich vibes, and just incredibly compelling, fun, and poignant. Also heard from a friend who is a disability rights advocate that this book gets disability representation right.
If you like audiobooks at all or are interested to try them, I would almost recommend this one on audio over reading with your eyeballs. Jesse Vilinsky (One/Mab), Emma Galvin (Two/Monday), and Rebecca Soler (Three/Mirabel) each narrate one of the Mitchell sisters, and the effect is so gripping and delightful, and also really helped me keep the narration straight. Emma Galvin especially is just SO incredible and so much fun as Monday.
Side note: It turns out my two favorite non-romance fiction books of the year (this one and The Once and Future Witches by Alix E. Harrow) were each about three sisters teaming up to kick ass and fight patriarchy & capitalism. Which is pretty fun and also should be a surprise to exactly nobody. 😆
