One Two Three
by Laurie Frankel
"It is extraordinarily appropriate that in Bourne voting literally feels like gambling." From One Two Three
4.5 stars
This book is a mix of Erin Brokovich meets Romeo and Juliet with sisters. The book is told through three triplets point of view, each chapter being just titled one, two, three based on who was telling the story. The characters were outstanding, and I loved the different abilities representation. Each sister was so distinctive, and I loved that it took all of their different abilities in order for the outcome to happen. I felt connected to so many of the townspeople and the setting. Monday's library where she would give you the books you really need (and that she had stored) was one of my favorite scenes I have read in awhile. Including the line, "Would you like a book on how to make a friend?".
I only wished there wasn't so much time devoted to the mothers sort of pointless battle at the beginning, it set the pace of slow and inconsistant as the novel wasn't about her story. We could have learned about the fruitless fight in a lot less pages and created stronger plot earlier. I also thought the ending was to "neat" and quite fast. Still, a delight to read.
Thank you to etgalley, the publisher, and author for an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
