You Look Different in Real Life
You Look Different in Real Life | Jennifer Castle
3 posts | 9 read | 1 to read
Readers of John Green, Sarah Dessen, and Laurie Halse Anderson will be touched by the emotional depth and realistic characters of Jennifer Castle's teen novel You Look Different in Real Life. Justine charmed the nation in a documentary film featuring five kindergartners. Five years later, her edgy sense of humor made her the star of a second movie that caught up with the lives of the same five kids. Now Justine is sixteen, and another sequel is in the works. Justine isn't ready to have viewers examining her life again. She feels like a disappointment, not at all like the girl everyone fell in love with in the first two movies. But, ready or not, she and the other four teens will soon be in front of the cameras again. Smart, fresh, and funny, You Look Different in Real Life is an affecting novel about life in an age where the lines between what's personal and what's public aren't always clear.

5 kids whose lives have been documented in 2 acclaimed films at ages 6 and 11 are undertaking the 3rd installment at age 16. The first half has some pacing problems and some of the characters aren‘t fully realized. Once the 5 are off on their own adventure the story takes off. And then there‘s the ending which was a little unsatisfying, if you ask me. I don‘t need to know everything at the end, but more than I got would be better.
