    <body><![CDATA[So, all through high school while my friends were hanging out in book stores instead of partying, we had a running joke about how all the new books that came out were about lesbians, then once we got to college it changed to books about vampires. <br/><br/>I picked up Bermudez Triangle when I saw ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/57031374">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This was a good book. It was very real, and they didn't need explenations for how things worked, because that's just how life is. I liked it! It was a really fast read, though. But they left out everything with Devon! They had a big hidden story with Devon and how he took the picture of Nina's hand ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/49037062">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I would have given this book 5 stars if the ending hadn't been quite so pat.  It's like, oh no, 10 pages left, better give everyone a happy ending.<br/><br/>I liked that sexuality was not black and white and my favorite moral about the importance of friendship.  On the other hand, I, like many of ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/26839310">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Most  YA that I've read is written in 1st person, but this one was 3rd person with constantly switching POVs, which is really hard to do well! The tone, pacing (sections of the book separated by holidays) and deft head-hopping reminded me in a weird way of &quot;Then We Came to the End&quot; by Josh...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/55195926">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This was a very refreshing change to most other YA books that I have read. It tells the story of young girls falling in love for the first time, the changing dynamics between friends and the usual fear of what others think of them. The difference that I liked was that the romance develops between tw...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/52542068">more...</a>]]></body>
