Triangles Book Review

When I first opened TRIANGLES, I was surprised at the format.  Ellen Hopkin's writing style is much different than the novels I typically read, as the entire book is written in poetic verse.  But, the book reads just as simply as free prose, and has a way of telling a no holds bar story that will intrigue readers.


The book was a bit racer than I usually pick up, as it explored sex, marriage, friendship, and loss.  But all the topics are so entwined and well thought out that I couldn't put the book down.

TRIANGLES' point of view rotates between three women whose lives are interwoven.  While each has a unique home life, they all share friendships, marriage problems, and the realization that they are "half-way to death."  All three women wonder if this is the direction their lives were meant to go in, and what they can do to feel more alive.
