A Midsummer's Nightmare by Kody Keplinger

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

Worse, she totally doesn't fit in with her dad's perfect new country-club family. So Whitley acts out. She parties. Hard. So hard she doesn't even notice the good things right under her nose: a sweet little future stepsister who is just about the only person she's ever liked, a best friend (even though Whitley swears she doesn't "do" friends), and a smoking-hot guy who isn't her stepbrother...at least, not yet. It will take all three of them to help Whitley get through her anger and begin to put the pieces of her family together.

Filled with authenticity and raw emotion, Whitley is Kody Keplinger's most compelling character to date: a cynical Holden Caulfield-esque girl you will wholly care about."


This is absolutely an amazing book that was a real page turner to me. Reading about the plot made me really interested in the novel and after reading it, I was completely pleased and content I had read it.
Okay, talk about a small world, who knew that Whitley's one night stand graduation guy will soon turn out to be her stepbrother? Outgoing and party girl, Whitney, may not be your favorite character because of the way she just acts at first, she won't even let herself be with the real world. Who can blame her though? I mean the fact that her father pays NO attention to her...can you imagine having a life like that? I loved how Kody writes the story and how Whitney undergoes change throughout the plot. The characters and just the story line is easy for teens to connect with and it makes everything so realistic. I also loved the cover of the book, it's so bold... somewhat grabbed my attention. :P Anyways: 9/10 good book.
