So my reasons for DNFing this book the first time were valid; it was not just because of my reading mood or some other factor. This time I wasn't even enjoying the book at all. The first time reading it, I liked the first several chapters and then it started to get boring.This time, everything was b...

2 1/2 if I could. I really wanted to like this because I love Maureen Johnson and stories about girlfriends, but this just didn't do it for me.

The problem with being a teenager is that there's a lot going on, and a lot of pressure, and a lot of decisions to make, and the highest possible stakes attached to everything. These three young women have been friends forever, and now, the summer before senior year they're splitting up for the firs...

Didn't like the ending. So many questions unanswered and forgiving Avery was just too easy. And poor Parker! And what about Devon? TELL ME!

I've read 113 pages and I'll stop. The story is about three best friends in their senior year at High School. While dominant Nina had been at leadership camp during summer break, witty Avery and shy, fragile Mel became lovers, which somehow shifted the angles of their former perfect triangle into a ...

Don't judge this book by it's frivilously colourful cover -- the story does have some substance to it. I still can't decide if I fully love Maureen Johnson's writing style (I discovered both her and John Green the same summer, and John Green just blows her out of the water), but she does tell a goo...

This is the one of the stronger Maureen Johnson books, and one of the ones I typically point people in the direction of starting her books. It’s also very telling that the cover synopsis for this, as with most of Maureen Johnson’s other books, put such a heavy emphasis on the romance aspect of the s...

I loved this book! It's a lot deeper than some other YA books. I liked how Maureen Johnson explained each side of the story realistically. Although the middle is kind of dry, it's a good book with lots of heart. I learned that a lot of people have similar reactions when their good friends "come ...

I didn't like 13 Little Blue Envelopes because I didn't like the writing, and I didn't like the writing here much better. The characters seemed curiously flat and pretty broadly drawn. I had a hard time keeping them (ahem) straight. I couldn't find any resonance with any of the characters. I was sti...

Wow! I really liked it! This is the third book I've read by Maureen Johnson, and it was definitely my fave of her books that I've read so far; although 13 Little Blue Envelopes is a very close second, i thought parts of it were a little far-fetched. But I thought that The Bermudez Triangle was a rea...
