From Laurie Frankel, the New York Times bestselling 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-on-one-page-grab-a-tissue-the-next 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.
This is how a family keeps a secret…and how that secret ends up keeping them. This is how a family lives happily ever after…until happily ever after becomes complicated. This is how children change…and then change the world.
This is Claude. He’s five years old, the youngest of five brothers, and loves peanut butter sandwiches. He also loves wearing a dress, and dreams of being a princess. When he grows up, Claude says, he wants to be a girl.Rosie and Penn want Claude to be whoever Claude wants to be. They’re just not sure they’re ready to share that with the world. Soon the entire family is keeping Claude’s secret. Until one day it explodes.
Laurie Frankel's This Is How It Always Is is a novel about revelations, transformations, fairy tales, and family. And it’s about the ways this is how it always is: Change is always hard and miraculous and hard again, parenting is always a leap into the unknown with crossed fingers and full hearts, children grow but not always according to plan. And families with secrets don’t get to keep them forever.

A 2013 Endeavour Award Finalist
When Sam Elling creates an algorithm to pair people with their soul
mates online, he meets Meredith, his own perfect match. But when
Meredith's grandmother Livvie dies unexpectedly, Sam puts his
algorithm to even better use: it compiles Livvie's old emails and
video chats to create a computer simulation so that Meredith can
say goodbye. It's not supernatural; it's computer science, and
Meredith loves it--too much to keep to herself.
Together, she and Sam open RePose to help others who have lost a
loved one. Business takes off, but for every person who just wants
to say goodbye, there's someone else who can't let go. This
twenty-first-century love story asks what would happen if saying
goodbye were just the beginning, and shows how love can take on a
life of its own.
