Title: A Midsummer’s Nightmare
Author: Kody
Keplinger
Publisher: Poppy
Length: 304 pages
Rating: 4/5
Whitley is really excited for the summer spent with her
divorced father before she starts college. But turns out her father had moved
towns and gotten engaged to a woman with a perfect country club family. And the
best part is that her future step-brother is the guy Whitley slept with on
graduation night.
Kody Keplinger has yet to let me down. She’s created another
great novel with a troubled girl narrator that you can’t help but love even
though she’s a mess. This page-turner’s got family drama, partying, and romance.
It’s like my life, minus all of the above…except maybe family drama- we’ve all
got that.
But really, how could you not love a novel with that
hilarious hook? It should be noted (in case it’s not obvious from the hook)
that this book is PG-13 and geared toward an older audience. I don’t think
younger me would have liked it quite as much. But both versions of me would
have appreciated that Whitley has to learn to trust other people and herself
before she goes off to college.
And finally, while the step-brother/step-sister relationship
thing gave me slight reservations, I got over it in this movie, so we’re all
good:
