  • Pairs with Tilt by the same author- Tilt is the teenagers’ POVs and Triangles is the parents’ POVs.
  • Thought-provoking and deep.
  • I didn’t like this one as much as Tilt. I couldn’t connect with the characters at all and there was almost too much drama.
  • It wasn’t awful, I just didn’t find it very interesting.
