Three Girls and Their Brother by Theresa Rebeck

3.0

three girls and their brother take turns narrating the redhaired heller sisters' rise to fame in new york city. it won an alex award from ala (for being an adult book with teen appeal) but i found it a bit long for all but the most tenacious teen readers. my other issue is that, although the four voices bring different opinions and perspectives to the story, the siblings all speak in a similar way, using the same holden caulfield phrases. for a while i forgot that the book had switched to daria's chapter and thought we were still doing polly.

but the plot, after a bit of a boggy start, really had me going. the last handful of pages had me wracked with suspense.
