A Midsummer’s Nightmare by Kody Keplinger
Expected Publication Date: June 5th, 2012
Publisher: Poppy
From Goodreads:
Whitley Johnson’s dream summer with her divorced 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.
Why I Can’t Wait: I adore Kody’s books! Her writing is fun and has so much of a realisitic feel to the storylines. I cannot wait to see how this story plays out, especially between the girl and her future step-brother. Also, I heard a rumor that Wesley from The DUFF makes an appearance! Squee! 🙂

While I have not read any books by this author, I’ve heard rave reviews about her books from other bloggers. I don’t read a lot of contemps to begin with and the whole one night stand with the step brother to be thing just sounds wrong to me. I’ll have to wait to see reviews of this one before I put it on my TBR list. I do love fresh look of the cover!
