She is not like the rest of her family who happily go to soccer games. In addition, Svetlana is into weird music. She also is really into drawing the different characters that pop up in the game and different elements of it. So, she is calling all the shots for the game. I mean, she is really into her RPG game and is the dungeon master. Svetlana is kind of interesting too, although I felt like she wasn’t written with the kind of depth that Lesh was. He is very immature at moments, but the cool thing is that he has character growth and it is interesting. Also, he does say things that could be construed as offensive, but I construed it as how teenage boys actually talk. Lesh has one really close best friend who is essentially his neighbor. He’s really into metal and dressing all in black. Lesh as a character actually reads as a pretty realistic teenage boy. As Guy In Real Life unfolds, we see sparks fly between the two, but there’s a few elements stacked against them. In addition, Lesh begins playing an MMORPG (I think that’s correct) and plays a character that is modeled after Svetlana. Lesh ends up joining Dungeons and Dragons club when they need an extra member. The two begin consistently running into each other – Svetlana begins sitting with Lesh at lunch. You would assume that they would not come into contact with each other again, however, this is kind of incorrect. They manage to collide into a mud puddle. She’s on her way home from Dungeons and Dragons club, if I recall correctly. As he is walking home with his best friend, he crashes into a girl. He’s a younger high schooler, but looks older, so he is drunk. As the book opens, Lesh is leaving a bar after a concert. Steve Brezenoff’s book follows two main characters – Lesh and Svetlana.
I really genuinely had a fun time reading this book. However, between the two points of views, it just seemed to fly by. Initially,I thought it might take a while to get into, because it is long – 386 pages. I actually really flew through this book when I read it. Guy In Real Life by Steve Brezenoff is a pretty fun, romantic contemporary young adult book with some pretty nerdy characters.
