Reviews

The story of One Two Three is given to us in rotating chapters, through the voices of triplets: Mab, Monday and Maribel. This is a story of a town dealing with the aftermath of a chemical plant polluting the town’s water, how it impacted the community. The family that owns the plant coming back to town to re-open it a generation later. I loved the triplets and the strong character development with each one being their own person. The story of the town and characters were interesting, but I did find the pacing a bit slow. I also think this book reads a bit more like a YA book. I loved her previous book “This Is How It Always Is” and it’s hard not to compare the two. I liked this one less than that one, but I’m glad I read it because I loved the triplets and the sense of community.
