A Midsummer's Nightmare
Autor Kody Keplingeren Paperback – 3 iun 2013 – vârsta de la 15 ani
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.

Recenzii
Praise
for
A
Midsummer's
Nightmare:
—Kirkus
"Keplinger (The DUFF) creates a wonderfully blunt, caustic, and self-possessed heroine in Whitley...The story's emotional realism, Whitley's transformation (and acid narration), and the romance between her and Nathan make for a fiery and engrossing read."—Publishers Weekly
"Whitley is a vivid, flawed, loveable protagonist and this novel isfilled with relatable characters. With honest, authentic language, Keplinger deals deftly with the raw emotions affecting divorced and blended families."—VOYA
"There's
a
lot
to
love
about
this
story.
Whitley's...a
smart,
assertive
girl
and
a
refreshing
change
from
the
passive,
wryly
observant
heroines
of
non-paranormal
fiction...
With
her
third
novel,
this
young
author
continues
to
evolve;
a
talent
to
watch."

Keplinger
definitely
knows
her
teenagers.
The
characterizations
of
Whitley,
Nathan,
and...This
a
realistic
read,
with
a
few
issues
(cyberbullying,
a
near-rape)
addressed
nicely."
