Synopsis

From the New York Times bestselling author of the sizzling romantic suspense Love Lies Beneath, three female friends face midlife crises in a no-holds-barred exploration of sex, marriage, and the fragility of life.

Holly, filled with regret for being a stay-at-home mom, sheds sixty pounds and loses herself in the world of extramarital sex. But will it truly bring the fulfillment she is searching for?

Andrea, a single mom and avowed celibate, watches her friend Holly’s meltdown with a mixture of concern and contempt. Holly is throwing away what Andrea has spent her whole life searching for—a committed relationship with a decent guy. So would it be such a bad thing if Andrea picks up Holly’s castaway husband?

Marissa has more than her fair share of challenges—a rebellious teenage son, a terminally ill daughter, and a husband who buries himself in his work rather than face the facts.

As one woman’s marriage unravels, another’s rekindles. As one woman’s family comes apart at the seams, another’s reconfigures into something bigger and better. In this story of connections and disconnections, one woman’s up is another one’s down, and all of them will learn the meaning of friendship, betrayal, and forgiveness.

Unflinchingly honest, emotionally powerful, surprisingly erotic, Triangles is the ultimate page-turner. Hopkins’s gorgeous, expertly honed poetic verse perfectly captures the inner lives of her characters: Sometimes it happens like that. Sometimes you just get lost.

Get lost in the world of Triangles, where the lives of three unforgettable women intersect, and where there are no easy answers.

Goodreads review by Megs ♥ on February 11, 2012

So, Triangles. I've recently read a few of Ellen Hopkins' YA books and really enjoyed them. Since she usually does YA work I decided to try her first adult book. She's known for tackling taboo subjects in her YA books, and she does so just as much in Triangles. A few things discussed are affairs, th......more

Goodreads review by Tara on October 08, 2011

I was lucky enough to pick up an ARC of this three days ago. Every free moment has been devoted to reading it since. I should say something as a word of warning. While many authors that started out in YA fiction have been making the jump to adult literature recently, many of their books could still......more

Goodreads review by Merary on June 14, 2012

Hmm, difficult . . . very difficult . . . I have mixed reactions towards Triangles. I have never read any Ellen Hopkins book. Until now. I'm well familiar with her Crank trilogy, but I just never got the time to read them. I have heard wonderful things about them: the verse is beautiful; Hopkins create......more

Goodreads review by Annie on November 15, 2011

I won a copy of this book through Goodreads First Reads. Let me just start with the cover. The cover is beautiful. Now the cover does not make the book, but having a pretty one certainly does not hurt. The book is set up more like an epic poem or string of poems than a traditional novel. With that be......more
