A Midsummer's Nightmare

By: Kody Keplinger

Narrated by: Renata Friedman

Whitley Johnson's dream summer with her divorced 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. 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.

Love this author

Honestly I hate reading books but this book was great I loved it I just wish there was more like during college, the wedding, the talk with her mom and such but overall it was a pretty void book

Really good read

I honestly just enjoyed popping into this world then popping out. Just a good teen angsty book. I would have preferred a better conclusion. I feel like the dad got let off the hook and honestly I don't think his fiancé would have stayed with him once she saw what a terrible father he was. That's my biggest criticism, but other than that another solid read from Kody Keplinger.

good story

loved it! twist in the beginning was the bait and I took it. awesome story

frustrating...

This was so frustrating. I guess it would have been a good book for a 12 year old, however the language and sexual content was conflicting with the childish story line. Either the story line needed more depth, chemistry, and less self loathing from Whitley or the language and sex talk needs to be taken out since it was really kind of out of place anyway. There was zero chemistry and to be honest, was a bit boring. I loved the DUFF, this was a let down in comparison.
