I LOVED Frankel's previous book, This Is How It Always Is, so I was curious if she could catpure me once again...and, she did! This book is about the Mitchell triplets who live in a tiny town called Bourne. Years ago, Bourne's water turned green and it caught the nation's attention: what is going on with Bourne's water supply? How will this contaminated water affect Bourne's citizens? As Frankel explores themes of justice, evironmental terrorism, and unburying the secrets of the past, I was totally invested. Many times, environmental concerns are put on the back burner in the name of capitalism, but Frankel really brings to light the repercussions of those inhumane decisions. The audiobook version of this book is wonderful!
