A Midsummer's Nightmare by Kody Keplinger
Poppy, 304 Pages
Expected US Release Date: June 5, 2012
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.

I've only read The Duff by Kody Keplinger, but this sounds like it'll be just as good: a nice blend of the serious with the fun.
The Best Night of Your (Pathetic) Life by Tara Altebrando
Dutton Juvenile, 239 Pages
Expected US Release Date: July 5, 2012
An all-day scavenger hunt in the name of eternal small-town glory
With only a week until graduation, there’s one last thing Mary and her friends must do together: participate in the Oyster Point High Official Unofficial Senior Week Scavenger Hunt. And Mary is determined to win.
Mary lost her spot at Georgetown to self-professed “it” bully Pete Lembo, and she’s not about to lose again. But everyone is racing for the finish line with complicated motives, and the team’s all-night adventure becomes all-night drama as shifting alliances, flared tempers, and crushing crushes take over. As the items and points pile up, Mary and her team must reinvent their strategy—and themselves—in order to win.

As I've mentioned before, I adore one-night books. It's like I get whisked away with them on this whirlwind night journey! And the fact this is a Scavenger Hunt of some sort? This could be all sorts of interesting.

I knowww I love the covers! I really like Tara's cover too, all the little things in the letters of BEST NIGHT are such teasers.
