Summary:
The book starts out with three best friends saying goodbye as one gets ready to go away for the summer for the first time since they were babies (or something) and the other two are stuck waitressing for the whole summer. Nina goes off to a summer program at Stamford and meets a cute guy that she goes on to have a long-distance relationship with once she gets home. Avery and Mel go on to hook up with each other (and hide it from Nina.) and spend the entire summer together pretty much all the time. Once Nina's back from California, she feels that something is different between the three of them, but couldn't figure out what was up until she catches Mel and Avery in the act. The rest of their senior year followed with the "Triangle" (as they called themselves) trying to find their way back to their friendship.
Thoughts:
Thinking about it now, it's kind of like the Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants, only without the pants, and with one less girl, but it's got a very different feel to it than Sisterhood did. But it's nice to see a book written for teenagers that is mostly about friendships being lost and found again, instead of being all love story all the time.
I liked it, but I didn't love it. The writing was great though, exactly like the last book by Johnson that I read. She's got a way with words, that one.
