Life pretty much sucks for Whitley Johnson, and it has for a very long time. All she’s hoping for is a nice summer with her dad before she goes away for college. But then she meets her dad’s new fiancé and her two kids, one of which was Whitley’s graduation one-night stand, and she realizes that a good summer might have been too much to ask for. Whitley doesn’t even begin to fit in with her dad’s picture perfect soon-to-be family, and just the thought of having to deal with the awkwardness with More...

I'm pretty sure anything Kody Keplinger writes is going to be AH-MAZ-ING! I love Shut Out and LOVE The DUFF even more, so I'm pretty sure I'll be making some space for A Midsummer's Nightmare to go on my favourites shelf (:

Whitley is one of the best characters in YA! She's angry and lonely and biting and honest and really...she just a little lost. Her parents are divorced. Her brother lives far away. And she realizes that she's never really had a true best friend.

Then her dad announces that he's getting remarried. And Whitley's supposed to just become part of his new happy family. Or not part of it. It's her choice.

Kody Keplinger just keeps getting better and better with each book.

One of the best books that I have read in a while. It's about a girl trying to deal with the fact that neither of her parents can find the time of day to talk to her or even notice her. SO she acts out by drinking, making out with strange boys, and just creating a big mess for herself.

It's actually a really sad story. But I loved it, and I loved how the author was able to truly encompass the life of a girl whose parents just didn't seem to care enough.

Whitley Johnson's dream summer with her divorce dad has turned into a nightmare. She's just met his new fiancee and her kids. The fiancee's son? Whitley's one-night stand from graduation night. Just freakin' great.

the above line in bold letters is enough for me to want it NOW ! :D

Kody Keplinger's writing is always smart, witty, and a spot-on teen voice. When it comes to reliable and relatable teen angst, Keplinger is the best! Her newest book, about a teen adjusting to a brand-new step-family (including a stepbrother she has a "history" with), is fun, snarky, and true. A great crossover book!
