I think you could call this a stand alone novel, but it is a follow up to Ellen Hopkin's adult novel, Triangles. For the first 300 or 400 pages of Tilt, the storyline overlaps with Triangles, but in Tilt, it is told from the teens perspective as opposed to their mother's perspective. Tilt follows the lives of three teens, Mikayla, Harley and Shane. Shane and Harley are cousins and Mikayla is a good friend. Mikayla finds herself alone and pregnant when the father of her child abandons her. She must decide to keep her baby or chose adoption. Harley finds herself in dangerous situations, pressured by the boys she thinks care about her. And, Shane, as a homosexual teen, finds himself in love with a young man with HIV. Tilt is sad and heartfelt as the reader watches their lives intertwine and tumble out of control.
