Triangles by Ellen Hopkins

3.0

3.5 stars. I've read a lot of the YA books Ellen Hopkins has written and loved all of them. She's not afraid to tackle controversial, gritty topics, such as drug addiction. Triangles is an adult book dealing mostly with sexual relationships. This is another book that I suppose can be labeled "controversial " since there are some characters in here who commit adultery. I enjoyed this book but not as much as I enjoyed her YA books. I think it was more my frame of mind or mood that made it difficult for me to fully enjoy this book. For some reason, I didn't really connect with, or feel much for, any of the characters. I felt a little empathy for one of the characters and her young daughter and it's because of their story that I added an extra half star. I would have liked to heard more about them than Holly, who kind of disgusted me because she did some things that were so "out there." I'm no prude but one of the things she did was seriously abhorrent, and knowing that there are probably people who do such things is frightening!
