Triangles by Ellen Hopkins

Triangles by Ellen Hopkins, 544 pages

I heard about this book as a prequel to the teen book, Tilt.  Triangles is Ellen Hopkins first adult novel.  Ellen Hopkins is known mostly for her teen books written in prose.  I listened to this book on audio which was kind of neat because it is about three female friends and was interesting to hear it told in a three voice perspective.  Triangles follows three adult friends as they face their individual midlife crisis.  Each woman is different from the other.  Andrea is a single mother raising a teen daughter.  Holly is a very unhappy wife raising two teenagers.  And, Marissa is a loving wife who is struggling to raise a gay son and a terminally ill daughter.  Triangles was a very good story, but also a very sad one.
