Guy in Real Life
Autor Steve Brezenoff Editat de MacLeod Andrews, Arielle DeLisleen Limba Engleză CD-Audio – 26 mai 2014 – vârsta de la 14 până la 17 ani
From the acclaimed author of "Brooklyn, Burning" comes "Guy in Real Life," an achingly real and profoundly moving love story in the vein of Rainbow Rowell and John Green, about two Minnesota teens whose lives become intertwined through school, role-playing games, and a chance two-a.m. bike accident.
It is Labor Day weekend in Saint Paul, Minnesota, and boy and girl collide on a dark street at two thirty in the morning: Lesh, who wears black, listens to metal, and plays MMOs; Svetlana, who embroiders her skirts, listens to Bjork and Berlioz, and dungeon masters her own RPG. They should pick themselves up, continue on their way, and never talk to each other again.
But they don t.
This is a story of the roles we all play at school, at home, online, and with our friends and the one person who might be able to show us who we are underneath it all."

Recenzii
“In a first-person narration that alternates between the boy in black and the girl dungeon master, Brezenoff conjures a wry, wise and deeply sympathetic portrait of the exquisite, excruciating thrill of falling in love. This is not the teen love story you’ve read a thousand times before.” — Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
“Guy In Real Life is a remarkably original, addictive novel that illuminates the roles we play for others and, ultimately, ourselves. A must-read for anyone who questions who they truly are, and who they could be.” — Nova Ren Suma, author of Imaginary Girls and 17 & Gone
“An idiosyncratic romance that offers plenty of cultural food for thought.” — Publishers Weekly
“I suppose Steve Brezenoff will have to grow up one of these days and forget what it was like to be sixteen, but let’s hope it doesn’t happen too soon—at least not to the part of him that can write a book like Guy in Real Life.” — Pete Hautman, National Book Award-winning author of Godless
“Guy in Real Life is a fascinating, original take on the spaces that exist between who we are and who we hope to be. Virtually everyone will love this book.” — John Corey Whaley, Printz Award--winning author of Where Things Come Back
“The gaming motif adds an intriguing layer, as Brezenoff uses it to explore issues of gender identity. Has [Lesh] created this character because he wants to be with the real Svetlana or because he wants to be her? There is, he realizes, no simple answer.” — Chicago Tribune
