This is a heartwarming story of 3 teenage sisters who live in the tiny town of Bourne. Mabs is sister #1 and she is normal. Monday, sister #2, is on the aspergers spectrum. Mirabel, sister #3, is brilliant but in a wheelchair and she cannot speak but uses a robotic speech synthesizer. 17 years ago, Bourne was national news when its water turned green and was declared unfit for use.
EadieB Nora, the triplets mother, is suing the company but they are about to start up again. The triplets are good narrators and memorable characters. The book makes you laugh-out-loud on one page and you will need a tissue on the next page. Frankel is an excellent writer and I will be checking out some of her other books. Thanks to LibraryThing and Henry Holt Co. for a free book for an honest review. 4y
EadieB I also got the audiobook from NetGalley and MacMillian audio and followed along with the book. The narrator for the audio was very good too! 4y
