The corporate greed angle was ok but the perspectives and insights of the three sisters make it well worth the read!
One - Mab, Two - Monday, and Three - Mirabel are teenaged triples born and living in a town whose water supply was contaminated by Belsum, an industrial plant owned by the Templeton family. Everyone in the town has been affected; birth defects, cancer, and even death have rocked all who live there. When the Templetons moves to town to reopen the company responsible for the contamination, the triplets set about to find out why.
This one has a lot going on in it:
(1) Coming of age -- first love, figuring-out-who-I-am stuff
(2) Family dynamics -- sisters, triplets, mother-daughter relationship stuff
(3) Environmental -- pollution stuff and its consequences economically, generationally
(4) David vs. Goliath -- little-town-as-a-community-united-against-BIG-BUSINESS stuff
(5) Amateur Sleuthing -- "...and I woulda gotten away with it if not for them kids..." stuff
Overall entertaining and well-written, but it didn't earn a place on my favorites list.
Way, way, way too long. I thought it would never end. I only stuck with it bc I wanted to see what happened, but the journey was painful.
"One Two Three" by Laurie Frankel is one of the very few NetGalley books I have DNF'd. It had absolutely nothing to do with the writing (which was LOVELY) or the character narrative. That was actually quite creative and well done. However, this book is clearly more of a Character Driven novel and I am Plot Driven Girl, all the way.
I made it through the first quarter of the book, and while interesting, I was not drawn in like I wanted to be.
If you love a creative, character motivated story, pick it up...I can almost guarantee you'll enjoy it.

Interesting way of telling the story- alternating perspectives- but my book club expressed that it was too confusing. I liked it. The ending however was a bit of a… I don’t know, seemed kind of like a plot from a tv show that left me dissatisfied 🤷🏿♀️
