Story
When two strangers are linked by a mail-in DNA test, it’s an answered prayer- that is, for one half sister. For the other, it will dismantle everything she knows to be true. But as they step into the unfamiliar realm of sisterhood, the roles will reverse in ways no one could have foreseen. Caroline lives a full, happy life - thriving career, three feisty children, enviable marriage, and a close-knit extended family. She couldn’t have scripted it better. Except for one thing: She’s about to discover her fundamental beliefs about them all are wrong.

Chemist Elizabeth Zott is not your average woman. In fact, Elizabeth Zott would be the first to point out that there is no such thing as an average woman. But it’s the early 1960s and her all-male team at Hastings Research Institute takes a very unscientific view of equality. Except for one: Calvin Evans; the lonely, brilliant, Nobel–prize nominated grudge-holder who falls in love with—of all things—her mind. True chemistry results.

Publisher's Summary
"The smart choice of narrators Emma Galvin (One), Jesse Vilinsky (Two), and Rebecca Soler (Three) as the Mitchell triplets is entertaining in addition to their amazing synergy." (Booklist (starred review)
This program includes a bonus conversation with the author.
From Laurie Frankel, the New York Times best-selling author of This Is How It Always Is, a Reese's Book Club x Hello Sunshine Book Pick, comes One Two Three, a timely, topical novel about love and family that will make you laugh and cry...and laugh again.
In a town where nothing ever changes, suddenly everything does....
Everyone knows everyone in the tiny town of Bourne, but the Mitchell triplets are especially beloved. Mirabel is the smartest person anyone knows, and no one doubts it just because she can’t speak. Monday is the town’s purveyor of books now that the library’s closed - tell her the book you think you want, and she’ll pull the one you actually do from the microwave or her sock drawer. Mab’s job is 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.
Three unforgettable narrators join together here to tell a spellbinding story with wit, wonder, and deep affection. As she did in This Is How It Always Is, Laurie Frankel has written a laugh-out-loud-grab-a-tissue novel, as only she can, about how expanding our notions of normal makes the world a better place for everyone and how when days are darkest, it’s our daughters who will save us all.

fantastic audio production!
I listened to the audio of “One Two Three” by Laurie Frankel and encourage any audio lovers to do the same. The audio production added to the enjoyment of listening to the novel’s three teenage narrators. An added bonus: at the end of the novel there is a discussion with Frankel about how she was inspired to write the story, plus a discussion with the sound editor of Macmillan Audio. I enjoyed listening to what goes into the production of an audio book….from hiring the perfect narrators to melding the three voices into the perfect production.
The Mitchell triplets are the sixteen-year-old narrators. As the story opens, Nora, their mother is giving birth to the girls. She wants the girls to have names that begin with “M” with the first daughter a one syllable name, the second will have two syllables, and the third will have three. It does make it easy to follow the girls, as I remembered who was who based upon their names. Sounds silly, but it works. The first daughter is Mab and she is a basic teen. Monday, the second girl is on the spectrum, and she was my favorite. Her insights are hilarious. Finally, Mirabel is the genius who can’t eat, walk, or talk. She is wheelchair bound and uses a voice activating machine for communicating. We get to hear her inner musings. Because she’s in a wheelchair, people treat her like she’s a piece of furniture, so she hears a lot.
The girls live in a fictious town named Bourne, where 17 years earlier there was a chemical spill in the water supply forcing the main employer to shut down, rendering the town a ghost town. The people who stayed either had cancer, birth defects or other health issues, which the townsfolk believe the chemical spill caused. Nora is on a mission to make the employer pay for the town’s devastation. The people who still live there are a quirky group and add enjoyment to the story.
The girl’s chapters are headed by their birth order. In other words, One’s chapters are Mab’s. Two is Monday, and three is Mirabel. The girls’ lives are upended when the previous owner of the business comes back to Bourne and wants the factory to be reinstated. The owners bring their very handsome sixteen-year-old son, River, with them. Well, there hasn’t been a new person in town EVER, and certainly not a cute boy. The girls are conflicted, as their mother is aghast that the family has returned and she wants nothing more than to expose them and bring them down. Meanwhile, River is a sweet boy who just wants to fit in.
This is a very funny, sweet, and touching story of three sisters who are coming-of-age and wanting to help their mother in righting a wrong. The girls are so much fun. Even Mab, who is normal, brings enjoyment to the reader because she is getting ready for her SAT test and she and her BFF, Petra, are working on vocabulary. The words used, LOL, you will chuckle. Monday will only eat yellow things and wear yellow clothing, unless it’s raining, and then it’s green. She’s the town librarian and has books everywhere, including the microwave (because no one uses the microwave). Mirabel uses her furniture status to gain inside information. Nora, who doesn’t narrate but nonetheless is a quirky character adds charm, as do the eccentric townsfolk.
I enjoyed this as a fun story that is well written. It’s nice to have a story that brings a smile to your face.

Very Good with A Couple Personal Caveats
I love Laurie Frankel - she writes an excellent story. This one was no exception. But I did struggle with the narration. While the narrators did a wonderful job - they ultimately grated on my nerves. I’m very sensitive to sounds, I’m very picky with narration. I’m thinking normal folks will not have a problem. But I was so annoyed (with 4 hours left) that I kept skipping forward. It’s a shame because it’s a great story but my ears were just overloaded. That said - ironically I do feel the narrators were well chosen for the characters. So, yeah - probably just me.

Disappointed
I preordered this novel after being so enchanted by This is Always How it Is. I found the story very slow moving. The characters, except for the three sisters, are not well developed. And the plot was fairly predictable. I found this disappointing.

Great book, great readers
This is an unusual, intriguing, and quite wonderful story, centered on a family of triplets (the One, Two, and Three of the title), their remarkable mother, and a cast of townspeople, all from the town that was poisoned by a chemical company whose effluent went right into the river that flows through town. Multiple birth defects, cancers, and deaths have resulted, and the girls and their mother have fought for 16 years to get justice. The narrators of this audible version are without peer -- each has a distinct voice that beautifully reflects the distinct personalities of these closely enmeshed sibs. The story is exciting, the characters (the girls, their mother, and a number of the townspeople) memorable, and largely admirable and in fact lovable. A wonderful, wonderful book.

Amazing book!
I loved this book. I felt like I was a part of the Mitchell family, another resident of their small town. The narration was brilliant. All three women embodied their characters and I couldn't stop listening. I loved that there is a brief interview with both the author and the audiobook producer, which gave me insight into both the story and how they made the audiobook. I can't recommend this book enough!

Wonderful narration
This is a very well written coming of age story about three sisters. So much of the plot is unusual but occurs to regular teenage girls. As a developmental list I love the depiction of teenage thought in the context of a serious life situation. The narration was amazing.Funny, tender, thought-provoking story.

Another superb book
The story is at times heartbreaking and at times full of joy. It’s imaginative and thoughtful and the characters are well written and presented in ways that help you understand the limits of disabilities whilst demonstrating that society and preconceptions are mostly what disable people, not illnesses and conditions. You could love the main characters, whilst seeing their flaws and the constraints of their 16 year old emotions. It’s a book I could listen to again and would recommend wholeheartedly.

I kept waiting for it to get better
I struggled to finish this. The story itself wasn't very engaging. I kept confusing the sister until about halfway through the book. There wasn't much of a plot, and once there was, I was about halfway through. I didn't feel for the characters, I could not connect with them.

Laurie Frankel does it again.
Once again she has written a compelling story which is so very differ from the others. Diverse characters, all with their own version of a very compelling story. The narration was fantastic. I was happy with the ending of the story but not happy that it had ended. I would love to know what happens next for this inspiring family.

Starts well, then drags, then couldn't finish it
Interesting set up as you gradually become aware of the depth of the tragedy that's befallen the little town the triplets are growing up in. But it moves glacially slowly and the voicing of one of the girls is deeply grating.
Fell asleep repeatedly during the middle of the book and eventually skimmed to find out what happened in the latter half... which was exactly as you'd expect. Obviously I may well have missed lots of nuance, but at 15 hours I'd hoped for more character development and depth. Disappointing as I'd really looked forward to reading this. I rarely abandon a book half way - but this one really let me down. will return the book.
