Rennison, Louise. A Midsummer Tights Dream. New York: HarperTeen, 2012. In the name of awareness more than anything else, I'm mentioning this book for older young adults with a mere modicum of Shakespeare.
Louise Rennison has written a ton of books—and, once again, I'm not in the target audience for any of them.
This one has to do with an girl who is becoming a woman, Irish Dance, A Midsummer Night's Dream, and the art of snogging.
But it's mostly about snogging: when, how, why, with whom, and how often.
As I made my way through the book, I kept hoping that those themes, which are present in Shakespeare's play, would be caught up by our narrator—but they are only sporadically present.
This book continues the story begun by the author's 2010 novel Withering Tights.
