Something Real
by Heather Demetrios
Wow, this book is not what I was expecting.
My expectation: teenager who has grown up as part of a reality tv family feels caged in by the feeling that she can't be herself and then meets a boy who likes her for her.
Reality: story of teenager struggling with mental health issues in abusive family setting involving reality tv elements and then boy helps her try to sort her family issues out.
Lots of angst and cliches, but also a lot more depth than I was honestly expecting. With that said, it depicts such an unhealthy reaction to mental health. If someone is having panic attacks weekly and has attempted suicide, that person needs medical assistance, not just a boyfriend in high school.
