Review: You Look Different in Real Life - Jennifer Castle - June 2013
Have you ever seen those documentaries 7 Up , then 18 Up working its way to 42 Up etc ? They are about a group of children who were documented at each of those ages to see where they had got to in life and it was always the same children in each documentary.
Jennifer Castle's new and upcoming release "You Look Different in Real Life" follows the same idea as it features 5 children who when they were six years old were chosen to be documented for the documentary Five to Six . Then 5 years later a new documentary came out called Five to Eleven and now 5 years later the documentary producers Lance and Leslie are back with a new installment called Five to Sixteen. However alot has happened in the past five years and the fivesome aren't as close as they used to be. We have former best friends Nate and Felix - who fell out over a secret that Felix is harbouring and we see it revealed in this series , Keira whose worst moment was captured on National Television and now everytime someone watches the show or she hears about it - she is struck over and over again with the news of her Mum leaving , Rory and Justine used to be best friends - that was until Rory was "officially" diagnosed with Autism and then they went their separate ways. Now with their lives back for everyone to witness , the five of them will be forced to not only confront each other but expose their fears and what pulled them apart in order to really remember what the word "friendship" meant to them all.

You Look Different in Real Life was a slow novel to read, but it is one of those books that you find yourself entranced with and you want to keep on reading it.
It was like Documentaries Meets Big Brother but High School Version.
