The Burmudez Triangle by Maureen Johnson

The book i read: The Bermudez Triangle by Maureen Johnson, a bestselling young adult novel about three best friends whose once-balanced friendship turns and shifts when two of the teens start secretly dating each other.

The novel is a story of the friendship between three teenage girls. They call themselves the Bermudez Triangle, they have their own little chant - basically they are those girls that are inseparable but yet all have different personal interests. Nina is the smart one and is the head of student council. Avery is the musical one who also has a touch of bad girl. Mel is the quiet and shy one, the one they need to push into coming out of her shell. When Nina goes away to a special pre-college summer group Mel comes out of more than her shell - she also comes out of the closet. At least to Avery with whom she starts a relationship. They do not tell Nina although Nina is a bit preoccupied on the relationship front as she's starting a relationship with an eco-warrior named Steve. When Nina returns home she's put in the uncomfortable position in which her two best friends have started dating. It's not awkward because they are both girls, it's awkward because it's her two best friends and suddenly she's on the outside. Well, that and the fact that no one really knows about them except for her. And then, as often happens with high school romances, Mel and Avery's relationship goes up in flames as does her own with Steve. Then Parker comes in, Parker ends up lovingNina, but Nina just uses him. Avery ends up being Bi.

I kinda liked this book. It was really weird, because the whole time i was reading this, I thought of my two best friends doing that. Yeah, never ever gonna think that way again.. But over all, the book was great and the story had humor, drama, and it was a 'chicklette'. Mrs. Henry knows what im saying....
