The Bermudez Triangle
Author: Maureen Johnson
Editor: Harper Collins
Year: 2004
Honestly, it was a reallllly good book. Definitely one that was written to show that boundaries had to be tested.
Back cover: The Bermudez Triangle are...
Nina Bermudez... who TiVos every episode of Trading Spaces and What Not to Wear because watching people rip down bad decorations, cast aside bad clothes--these things soothe her.
Avery Dekker...who worships Jack Black but has learned to play Billy Joel's "Piano Man" by heart just so that she can hate it in detail.
Melanie Forrset...(a.k.a. Mel), who inspires guys to develop instantaneous, epic crushes--the kind that cause them to want to iron their clothes and listen to the lyrics of slow songs.
Since coming together at the age of eleven, the Triangle has never been apart. The summer before senior year, however, Nina goes away to a summer program in California. When she returns, she expects to be welcomed back into her friends' arms with great excitement. Instead, something has changed in the Triangle--Mel and Avery are acting strangely. There are in-jokeds Nina doesn't get, pauses in the conversation that seem to be full of some meaning that she just can't grasp. She's suddenly an outsider, and she has no idea why.
Until she wanders into a dressing room and finds Mel and Avery kissing. What exactly do you do when your two best friends in the entire world start dating?
