Guy in real life by steve brezenoff5/10/2023 “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. Another fantastic book from a writer I envy and admire.” - Sara Zarr, National Book Award finalist for Story Of a Girl “In a voice full of authentic grit, poetic verve, and real emotion, Steve Brezenoff weaves a tale that feels both wholly original and instantly classic. 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. They should pick themselves up, continue on their way, and never talk to each other again. 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 Björk and Berlioz, and dungeon masters her own RPG. From the acclaimed author of Brooklyn, Burning comes Guy in Real Life, an achingly real and profoundly moving love story about two teens that National Book Award–finalist Sara Zarr has called "wholly original and instantly classic."
