About this listen

"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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
