The world is changing for teens Mikayla, Shane, and Harley, who were introduced in Triangles, Hopkins's novel for adults. Mikayla thought she found her true love with Dylan, but that changes quickly when one night of carelessness turns into a lifetime commitment. Harley has always been the good girl, but after altering her looks and behavior, she finds herself in way over her head. Shane, who has come out as gay, experiences first love with Alex, who is HIV positive, after they meet online. But when his four-year-old sister dies, Shane spirals out of control. Hopkins has never pulled any punches when it comes to the reality and grittiness of her characters' lives, and this book is no different. The audiobook is narrated by Kirby Heyborne, Madeleine Maby, and Rebekkah Ross. The use of multiple narrators make it is easier to keep track of who is speaking, and these three do a fantastic job of bringing the characters to life.
VERDICT Hopkins fans will pick up this book without a second thought; listeners who enjoy realistic teen-themed works will want to give it a try as well.
