A.S. King is one of the best Y.A. writers working today. She captures the disorientation of adolescence brilliantly.

JOHN GREEN , The New York Times Book Review

Picture 4Heart-pounding and heartbreaking a compulsively readable portrait of two imperfect teens learning to trust each other and themselves.

Kirkus Reviews, starred review

Picture 5 A nuanced portrayal This is a story about healing.

Publishers Weekly, starred review

Picture 6 Kings trademarksattuned first-person narrative, convincing dialogue, realistic language, and fitting quirkinessconnect effectively in this disturbing, yet hopeful novel.

SLJ, starred review

Picture 7 Kings writing is tighter, more focused, and better than ever. [An] intense and incredibly fresh plot.

VOYA, starred review

Picture 8 King offers a compelling look at possible long-term effects of reality shows. Thought-provoking and ultimately optimistic.

Library Media Connection, starred review

The hallmarks of [Kings] strong work are there: magical realism, heightened emotion, and the steady, torturous, beautiful transition into self-assured inner peace. Like Gerald, its wonderfully broken.

Booklist

[A] smart and sympathetic story about breaking free from the worlds expectations.

The Bulletin

Timely, incisive, compassionate. A.S. King is always on the cutting edge of YA. All her novels are must-reads.

MATTHEW QUICK , New York Times bestselling author of The Silver Linings Playbook and Forgive Me, Leonard Peacock

A.S. King is one of the most powerful, resounding voices in contemporary young adult literature. Reality Boy is fearless and brilliant, a seething pressure cooker of a masterpiece that will make you angry [and] heartbroken, and will lift you up and make you feel real.

ANDREW SMITH , author of Winger and The Marbury Lens

A.S. King at her best, and maybe then some. If you dont fall in love with the Crapper, you shouldnt be allowed to read. This book is tough and funny and smart as hell. It was a total pleasure to read.

CHRIS CRUTCHER , author of Period 8 and Whale Talk

A.S. Kings best work to date. Gobbled up for the sake of entertainment and spit out by the world, Gerald is the kind of character you keep pulling for long after the story is finished. Touching and teeth-clenchingly emotional, this story is an important reminder that behind every reality show may be a totally different reality.

JENNIFER BROWN , author of Hate List and Thousand Words

A powerhouse of insight and empathy toward the people who cruise the fringes of acceptable behavior. A.S. King takes all kinds of risks and every single one pays off. Highly recommended.

JONATHAN MABERRY , New York Times bestselling author of Rot & Ruin and Fire & Ash

King never fails to surprise. We all know at least one teen who needs a book like this; I didnt know I needed it until I turned the last page.

DODIE OWENS , editor, SLJTeen

[Kings] ability to show all sides of the story, while never detracting from the main characters and their intense frustration with the adults and circumstances of their lives, is a marvel. Reality Boyshowcases Kings talent. Its also about first love, celebrity, therapy, and finding your own narrative despite the story your familyand sometimes the worldtells about you.

JENN NORTHINGTON , Shelf Awareness

Im not sure if there is a subject that A.S. King cannot handle with perfect dexterity. She wins your trust by creating characters that are real and then paves the storys way with glass shards, heartbreak, and ultimately, gold. Reality Boy is a fascinating emotional dissection of life under the watchful eye of the American public and the subsequent fallout for one angry young man.
