Reader Comments
The Bermudez Triangle is an Eye-opener!!!
Commenter: Kelly, age 14
I love this book, the way it was written and mostly the characters. Also, the story was actually believable, not some sappy story. I think this book really shows a different, humanized, vunerable side to homosexuality. It is excellently delivered as well.

Massie and her clique return! This is the sequal to 'The Clique'. With this clique the only thing harder than getting in is staying in. Claire is still out. Wants in. She seriously needs to lose those keds. When Dylan and Kristen like the same guy that is a huge problem! Will it ruin the clique or will they get over him and become friends again??
