22% into the book (according to Kindle), "Triangles" by Ellen Hopkins is a well-leveled and casual book. Three female friends, with differing and struggling lifestyles face their mid-life crisis, and the readers spectate the ongoing events through Hopkin's poetic style. Her poetic verses embody a emotional and powerful scope into the fluctuating lives of these three women.
After getting a taste of the different lives of these women, I feel that the one who is in the toughest position is Marrisa. The other two suffer from less extreme cases in comparison to the former; Holly regrets her boring family life in which her only role is to be a stay-at-home mom, and Andrea yearns for that perfect husband. All the while, Marissa has to cope with caring for Shelby who is terminally ill and unable to make any motions whatsoever. Additionally, her workaholic husband stows away time at work to avoid having to deal with his sick daughter and tarnished family.
Although I believe Marissa to be the one who suffers the most, the story is beginning to unravel other severities in the lives of these women, and the connections between the three are surfacing. As the story progresses, it will be interesting to see how each situation is dealt with and how each ends.
