One Two Three by Laurie Frankel

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!
