"Their friendship went so far back, it bordered on the Biblical: in the beginning, there was Nina and Avery and Mel."

So says high school senior Nina Bermudez, describing herself and her two best friends, aptly nicknamed "the Bermudez Triangle" by a jealous wannabe back on Nina's eleventh birthday. But the threesome faces their first separation when Nina goes away the summer before their senior year.
And in ten short weeks, everything changes.
Nina returns home bursting with stories about Steve, the quirky yet adorable eco-warrior she fell for hard while away, but then when she asks her best friends about their summer romances, an awkward silence follows.
Nina soon learns the shocking truth when she sees Mel and Avery . . . kissing. And she has never felt so excluded from her own friends before.
As Nina works to maintain her tumultous long-distance romance — and as Mel and Avery navigate their own unexpected relationship, through friendship to enemies to back again — the Bermudez Triangle finds themselves stumbling toward adulthood, falling in and out of love, enlarging their circle of friends, and rethinking their values, in this warm and humorous tale of friendship . . . and more.

      Johnson (The Key to the Golden Firebird
      ) offers a saga of three best friends in Saratoga Springs, N.Y.: impetuous, wry Avery, shy, sweet Mel and bright, assertive Nina (whose last name gives the novel its title). During the summer before their senior year, Nina heads cross-country to attend a summer program on Stanford's campus, while her two pals waitress at a local restaurant. One morning after Avery has spent the night at Mel's house, the two share a kiss on the lips. Some readers will find the descriptions of the duo's involvement overwrought or trite (e.g., "Everything was tiny and well disguised, but there were little electric moments everywhere" and "Avery's lips were always slightly smoky, as was the upholstery of her car"). In a scenario totally lacking in subtlety, Nina (just back from her program, at which she fell madly in love with a male student) walks in on Avery and Mel while they are kissing in a store dressing room. Curiously, the novel's most sympathetic character is a supporting player, Parker, a funny and deep-feeling fellow who aspires—futilely—to date both Mel and Nina. Though the novel becomes more credible as it unfolds, for some readers, Johnson's tale may tread too close to soap opera turf, with its attendant stalled pace. Ages 14-up.
