YES!!! LOVE!!
I love Ellen Hopkins and I have read her Crank series as well as Perfect but this was different and way more adult. Not that the others weren't heavy on the issues and important but this was different and I have had this on my bookshelf for a while. I am glad I finally finished! I will not stop until I have read all of Ellen Hopkins work. I love books in verse!
I can't wait to read the next one, this one hit a little close to home and broke my heart but it was just really well done ...more

I had heard a lot about Ellen Hopkins' young adult books but I haven't gotten around to reading any of them. I happened across Triangles on the "New Books" shelf at my library and decided to pick it up.
It wasn't what I was expecting (not in a bad way, mind you). First, I didn't realize that it would be written in sort of a poetry format. It took me awhile to get used to reading that way and it really forced me to slow down a little bit and take in what was going on in the story more.

Have a box of tissues ready. I absolutely love listening to Ellen Hopkins' books. I have a hard time reading them in print because of the layout of the text, but when you listen to them being read, you don't get that aspect of the book and, for me, I can focus on the story more and less on the words on the page. Maybe that only makes sense to me. Either way, I enjoyed this book because the characters were in my age range and the entire flow of the story worked. Definitely not a teen/YA book.
