Publicado originalmente: El Extraño Gato del Cuento

Tengo una cosa muy rara con los libros de Kody Keplinger, al principio, sin pensar mucho me agradan y aún así me deja esa sensación de incomodidad que no puedo sacarme y es mejor pensar bien lo que quiero decir antes de publicar algo, ya me pasó con The Duff, no es que ahora piense distinto pero me hubiera gustado pensarlo un poco más y decir más cosas que quizá las diga ahora con este libro.

Sexo y padres disfuncionales.

Creo que antes de que el boom New Adult y que se denominará propiamente New Adult, Kody Keplinger ya traía libros juveniles dónde el tema predominante era el sexo y, es como que la marca de la autora, tanto así que cuando anunció publicaría un libro middle grade muchos, bueno, me incluiré, nos asustamos bastante. ¿Por qué? Porque Kody habla abiertamente y con bastante naturalidad del sexo en personajes jóvenes. Sé, créanme sé, que en la actualidad el sexo se experimenta desde edades muy (a veces demasiado) tempranas. Y en el momento en que leía A Midsummer's Nightmare salía de leer de amores para siempre y dónde todas las protagonistas sólo experimentaban el sexo con su único y verdadero amor. El libro me tuvo entre pensar "esto está bien, debemos aceptarnos" pero también "no estoy acostumbrada a esto, me siento incómoda". ¿Es normal sentirse así? Salí de mi zona de comfort, asumo que es normal.

No sé si será coincidencia pero si han leído los libros de Kody, como que culpa a la madre de muchos de los problemas de la protagonista, no directamente sin embargo ellas tienen a ser parte importante de las decisiones un tanto "rebeldes" y drásticas que toman; en The Duff una madre ausente y aquí el estereotipo de madre divorciada y amargada. En cierta forma es algo que no me gustó del todo, las protagonistas obviamente tienen Daddy Issues, A Midsummer's Nightmare es básicamente de todo lo que trata.

Incómodo

Una de las cosas que he mencionado muchas veces en varias reseñas es lo resentida que soy, lo difícil que se me hace perdonar a los personajes cuando hacen algo con lo que no estoy de acuerdo, aquí tanto Whitley como su padre no son exactamente personajes a los que les tenga mucho aprecio como personas/personajes. Dije al inicio que terminé el libro con una sensación de incomodidad, eso es porque Whitley y yo somos extremadamente diferentes, ella es la típica chica fiestera con la nunca voy a conectar, tanto en los libros como en la vida real y la relación con su papá, bueno, fue demasiado necesitada por parte de ella al final.

En conclusión, lo que pienso ahora sobre el libro y lo que pensé el año pasado no ha cambiado mucho, al menos según mis notas guardadas: Me gustó que Whitley llega a madurar en algún momento, me gustó como la autora implemente el cyberbullying, algo mucho más común en la actualidad (es un libro de 2012 así que no es taan antiguo). Me gustó también cómo Kody se las arregló para que yo no odiara a la nueva familia de Whitley, por lo general tiendo a tener mucho resentimiento a las nuevas cosas, y no lo negaré, las tuve al inicio pero al terminar el libro creo que estuve molesta con las personas indicadas y mi personalidad influyó en que yo no perdonara a algunas personas o conectara con ciertas acciones.

I am a huge fan of Kody Keplinger and turn to her when I want a cute/fun read that usually throws in some darker subjects. I started this one day and wanted to finish it the same day.

This does deal with a forbidden romance and covers issues such as social media, rape, and family relationships. I am not normally a fan of romances like this, but since they meet before they know who they will be to each other it did not bother me. I actually really liked their relationship.

Was this anything spectacular? Not really, but I enjoyed it all the same! ( )

Whitley. Nathan. Harrison.

I don't really get Bailey. I mean, yeah, she's sweet. But that's, like, it. That's all thre is to her character. Stereotypical, sweet tweenage girl.

I really enjoyed the exploration of Whitley's family. Maybe a bit unrealistic in function, but the idea comes across.

I still like the DUFF better because I can relate to it a little more, but I definitely want to check out whatever else Keplinger writes.

So, as I may have mentioned once or twice, I LOVE Kody Keplinger's books, and this one does not disappoint. As usual, her characters are right on the ball. Whitley's loneliness bleeds through the pages, and every other character has something about them that brings out their humanity. From Bailey's incident at the party and Nathan's history, I come to love each of Keplinger's characters in a way I didn't think possible in a single book.

Speaking of characters, if you're a fan of Keplinger's THE DUFF, you'll notice some crossover characters (Wesley, Bianca and Harrison) as well as some crossover settings, (such as the Nest.) Not only did this make it so much more satisfying as a reader, but they were subtle connections that were not necessary to understand the main story.

The emotions in this book do run strong. There are scenes that include rape scenarios, the consequences of partying, cyber-bullying, rumors, boys-- Keplinger has perfectly summed up that feeling of intense loneliness many teenage girls face. It's hard not to connect with Whitley, because who hasn't felt as though everyone has failed them and the world is against them? The emotions and tension are timed just right in this book, and the subject matter (such as the rape incident and the cyber-bullying) were handled well, without slipping into melodramatic territory. We want reality, not a soap opera!

All in all, this book was spectacular It was not a book I powered through, but something I put down (with my finger marking the page!) and had to take moments to just think. I love books like that, and its rare that I find one that hits the subject matter so on the head. If you're a fan of contemporary, or are searching out books for girl readers, A Midsummer's Nightmare could not be a better choice. ( )

Okay...I freely admit...this book made me cry and cry hard. In a (mostly) good way.



I'm a sucker for an emotional book that makes me cry (Jamie McGuire's Beautiful Disaster and Annabel Joseph's Comfort Object being two of the most recent ones)and an even bigger sucker for emotional books that are well written. Like this one.

I began reading this because I thought it would be a quick, easy read on my day off. It started off that way, but changed a few chapters in. It surprised me because I thought it would be a funny story about a troubled teenage girl who has a breakthrough, becomes all shiny and new, and lives happily ever after. Well, it kind of was, but...it was so much more than the formulaic YA story.

While Whitley had quite a few not-so-endearing qualities and made a bunch of piss poor choices, I had to like her. We all have our scars and we've all made stupid choices in our past. It makes us human and much more lovable. Same with Whitley. I was rooting for her and glossing over her silly mistakes.


(I'm on a Grey's kick, don't kill me!)

I'm very impressed with Kody Keplinger and will keep my eyes peeled for more from her!
