I hadn't read any books by Maureen Johnson until I saw this one and the description sounded like something i'd enjoy, but the one I found was nothing like the book. This book really got me into the heads of all three girls and I felt apart of the storyline, I will definitely read this book again.

okay I was just killing my time at the bookstore the other day and I'm the kinda person who judge a book by its cover and the cover of this book has my fave colors on it. pink and purple. but this is really interesting. the books that i usually read are books like gossip girl, it girl, the clique so this is something new to me. the subject of this book is about discovering ur sexuality and it is a heavier topic than those i usually read. i have read this book twice and i'm a big fan of the writer now. i've read her previous book, 'key to the golden firebird'. i just bought '13 little blue envelopes' and i'm going to buy 'devilish' after this.

Testing the boundaries of friendship
24 Feb 2006
Format:Paperback
Nina, Avery, and Mel have been best friends forever, They tell each other everything, and are completely inseperable. For the first time, Nina is leaving for the summer for a pre-college course. There she has a great time, with her nutty room mate. But when the guy across the hall takes and interest in her, everything gets better. Nina falls head over heals in love- eventually.
Meanwhile, back home, something is happening. After a night of partiying, Mel is drunk, and Avery takes her back to her house. They sleep in Avery's bed - and both have their first kiss - with each other. They accept they are Lesbian - but keep in hidden, because they know it won't be accepted. When Nina comes home, she is still clouded with lovesick thoughts. She doesn't even see it, until out on a shopping trip with Avery and Mel. They were acting strange, like they wanted to be alone, so Nina shopped by herself for a while. Then when she went to find them, she had the biggest surprise of her life- and caught them kissing.
A very good insight into getting used to a huge change in an unbreakable friendship.

Amazingly wonderful book!!
2 Mar 2005
Format:Hardcover
During girl's teenage years, most of their time is occupied by homework, boys, friends, and trying to figure out who they really are. The book The Bermudez Triangle is a very realistic and exciting book about three best friends having a pre mid-life crisis. Nina, the ultra organized, straight a student, president of the student council committee and the glue that keeps the group from falling to pieces, goes to a pre college summer camp before their senior year and leaves Mel and Avery at home. While she is away, Avery, the wild party hopper, and Mel, the girl all the guys want, have a bunch of extra time to themselves. While Nina is busy at camp falling head over heels for Steve, Mel and Avery are at home getting much closer then any of them would have thought. Then, after going to a party and getting drunk, Mel and Avery have a sleepover that leads to a long kiss between them. They begin to date behind Nina's back.
When Nina returns, she feels left out of the group. Like Mel and Avery have some sort of secret, which they do. Then, while shopping at the mall, Nina walks in on a very personal moment between Mel and Avery. Now, the secret is out of the closet. Of course, open-minded Nina is very happy for them. But there are still many long, hard struggles to come for all of them. Nina is not sure weather to stay with Steve, who lives on the other side of the country, or go out with cute, nice, Parker. Avery is worried about her audition for a big music college, and Mel is still trying to figure her out.
This is a wonderful, lighthearted novel that I would recommend to any teenage girl. It is a realistic view of three girls and their struggles and triumphs on the path to womanhood. Although the road may be bumpy at times, as long as you have your true friends, you can get through the hardest of all things... growing up. I promise, you will not be able to put it down.

Amazing Book!
28 Feb 2005
Format:Hardcover
"In the first moment, Nina thought Avery was helping Mel with a necklace. Then she realized that Mel wasn't wearing one. Also, putting on or removing a necklace doesn't usually involve putting you lips on someone else's." This excerpt is from the exciting book, The Bermudez Triangle, by Maureen Johnson.
The book is about three best friends, Nina, the outgoing, responsible leader of the group, Mel, the shy one who attracts all the guys, and Avery, the partier, and what happens when they cross the line from friendship to love. The summer before senior year, Nina goes away to a summer program at Stanford where she meets and falls head over heels in love with her earth conscience west coast boyfriend, Steve. Without Nina, Avery and Mel are spending more and more time alone together. One night when Avery spends the night at Mel's house, they share a kiss. They soon begin to secretly date, not even telling Nina. When Nina returns home, she feels left out and excluded from her best friends, sensing that they are keeping something from her. She soon discovers their secret, and as happy as she is for them, can't help but feel partially depressed, as her friendship seems to be crumbling while she is having the same problems with her long distance relationship.
The Bermudez Triangle is one of few books that I have read that I never wanted put down. It showed me the hardships that so many teenagers face and the ways that they deal with them. Not only was this book compelling, but it really made me think about the fact that true friendships can conquer anything, no matter what the circumstances are. It also showed me that true friends are hard to come by and will stick together no matter what.
I definitely give this book five stars. It is unlike any book I have ever read. If you want to read a good book that you will never want to put down, I would definitely recommend The Bermudez Triangle!
