"Waiting on" Wednesday


"Waiting on" Wednesday is a weekly event hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.



This week's selection is:


A MIDSUMMER'S NIGHTMARE
By: Kody Keplinger
Published By: Poppy
Release Date: June 5, 2012
Preorder the Book: Amazon


Goodreads Summary: Whitley Johnsons 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.

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.




Why it's wanted:

I loved Kody's first book, The DUFF, and this book sounds like it's in the same style - funny, touching, and honest.

  6. I haven't read The DUFF, but always meant to. This one sounds good and complicated. =) and the one night stand aspect... ugh, that would suck.

    Nice choice.
