Definitely my least favorite book by her so far. I'm not sure what yet, but something was missing.

I enjoyed the characters and the overall point of the story, but some of the scenes didn't do a lot for me.

This was weirdly wholesome and shitty at the same time?

It’s the summer before their senior year and Nina, Avery, and Mel are not spending their time together. Nina is going to leadership camp all the way in California, and Avery and Mel are working at a local Irish diner. What happens to all of them over the summer is so unexpected that no one can predict how it will change their friendship forever.
At camp, Nina falls in love with Steve, her eco-warrior boyfriend. Steve is her first love, but he also happens to live in Oregon, 3000 miles away from where she lives in New York. Both are determined to remain together until they can see each other again the following year when they both get into Stanford for college, but until then they have to get through senior year.
Nina comes home with her head full of Steve, only to stumble into shocking news: over the summer, Avery and Mel have kissed, and now they’re a couple! Nina is left feeling like a third wheel, but all is not paradise in her friends’ land. While Mel is certain she’s a lesbian, Avery’s having mixed feelings. Is it possible she only likes girls when the girl is her best friend, Mel?
Senior year is a time of maturation and understanding for the three members of the “Bermudez triangle” (called that because Bermudez is Nina’s last name). While I found the ending a little too perfect, THE BERMUDEZ TRIANGLE is an excellently written book that explores the complications of love and friendship.

This book was... bad. Biphobia? Check. Bi folks as sex crazed maniacs? Oh yeah. Cheating? Check. Cheating that’s completely warranted according to the text and is apparently completely forgivable? You got it!
Honestly what the fuck was this read? Rtc.

YA JOHNSON - best friends, senior year, lesbians, some sexual references
What started out as an interesting premise - one of three best friends goes away for the summer only to find the remaining two friends are lovers upon her return - fizzled in the 300+ pages of this novel. Friends growing up and growing apart, exploring sexuality, first love and heartbreak, and using people are all themes explored in the novel. Maybe there were one too many themes. There is ultimately a happy ending, which demonstrates the maturing of the characters, I suppose. The coming out scene did resonate. Older teens

Nina, Avery and Mel have been best friends forever, and when Nina goes away for a summer to experience "pre-college", she finds love; Avery and Mel spend the summer working at home and also fall in love - with each other. Now that summer is over, they've got to figure out what love actually is and what this means for their friendship.

The eponymous "triangle" is three high-school-senior girls who have been bffs(aeae) for some relatively long period of time. The summer before senior year, Nina goes off to a pre-college thing at Stanford, meets a guy, has a great time, and comes back to upstate New York ready to get her party on with Avery and Mel. Except that while Nina was gone, Avery and Mel met... each other, and now it's all sorts of awkward-pants up in this triangle.

This is realistic fiction in the purest of forms. The story follows three friends all trying to figure out something: love, sexuality, identity, commitment, friendship, their future... This is as teenagery as you can get. I really enjoyed how the narrative switches between point of views so you can see how each is dealing (though I wish the switches were marked better... Sometimes it was hard to figure out for a second). I also wish that more of Avery's POV had been included because she did a couple things that I still don't understand (though teenagers tend to do things that no one, even themselves, understand).
