Reality Boy by A.S. King

I picked up Reality Boy initially to read for our monthly book club,  but we opted not to read it as a group; however, I continued to read it anyhow. I actually listened to the book instead of reading it, and I enjoyed it for the most part aside from the ending. Gerald Faust had the unfortunate childhood of growing up in front of a camera because his family was selected for a reality TV show when he was five-years old. A.S. King takes the reader through Gerald's life by using flashbacks to his childhood years on camera and then coming back to present day as Gerald is a junior in high school. His turbulent times with his promiscuous twenty-one year old sister and timid mom pushes him over the edge. Overall, it's a three star book, but it definitely has a lull in the middle and the ending did not wow me.
