Book Review
Our next book is " One, Two, Three," by Laurie Frankel. 

Laurie Frankel’s “One, Two, Three” is a story told by three unique sisters identified by both their names and the number of their order of birth: One (Mab), Two (Monday), and Three (Mirabel). Readers meet the sisters at 17 years of age and the start of their junior year of high school.

We immediately learn that the town of Bourne, where they’ve lived their entire lives, holds many secrets. Alongside the sisters, readers discover these secrets and piece together what the future may hold for each girl, their family, and their town.
