One Two Three by Laurie Frankel
4.0

While the book started a bit slow, the history of the triplets and the town of Bourne really moved this book into a gripping story that I found hard to put down. This emotional and physical turmoil that the town experienced and now being lived out by a new generation is compelling and helps readers understand how past events can change the future, for better or for worse.

The triplets use the perseverance instilled in them by their mother to push for change, justice, and support from the town, peers, and above as they take matters into their own hands - while handling teenage strife through school, relationships, and their own battles with their health.

This is a definite read into contemporary fiction, while being influenced by real events out of West Virginia.
