AJ's life has been one big change after the other. Not
even
two years after loosing her dad, her mother has moved the
family from Louisiana to Nashville. Not to mention that
her
mom reconnected with a old high school flame, and is now
engaged. Instead of hanging around the garage with her
brothers and fixing cars like she use to with her dad, AJ
will be finishing her junior year at the fancy local
private
school with her tuition paid by an anonymous benefactor
with
people that seem to be way out of her league. To say she
is feeling a bit in over her head and lost is an
understatement.
Kate Kelly's life is picture perfect. She is always
dressed
in the latest fashions from her mother's boutique. She is
the head cheerleader, student body president, head of the
prom committee, and dating one of the hottest guys at
Westmont High School. She has the life that almost ever
girl wants, especially now that she is being considered
for
the new reality tv show: Real Life.
When Kate is called to be AJ's tour guide for the day, she
can't help but already have some animosity towards her.
After all she is getting the attention of the entire
school,
with her jeans, red converse, and mechanic shop t-shirt.
AJ
cares for nothing of fashion, status, guys, or the prom
and
chooses to sit with the geeks of the school during lunch.
Al the while Kate is quietly freaking out about several
things. How to keep things going with her fake boyfriend
Alex, making sure the attention is always on her, and that
she can pull off the perfect prom.
As the filming for the reality show begins, and the list
of
cast members grow, naturally the seeds of doubt are
planted
and everyone's tensions begin to run high. AJ begins to
doubt the sincerity of her relationship with Kate's
brother
Kaden and his motives for wanting to hang around with her.
Kate begins to worry about how she will match her red
dress
with the yellow tie Alex said he was wearing. When
everything seems to be falling into place, Alex humiliates
Kate in front of everyone at the prom, and the only person
who doesn't hesitate to Kate's side is AJ. And for the
first time, Kate sees exactly what a great friend AJ could
be if she gave AJ a chance.
I absolutely loved this book. LIFE JUST GOT REAL is a
great
book and perfect young readers and those wanting something
that focuses on how faith plays a part in our daily lives.
While there is a religion based theme to this book, it was
incorporated into the story line beautifully. I didn't
feel
like I was having someone else's religious crammed down my
throat. LIFE JUST GOT REAL is one of those books that you
pick on a whim and end of loving every single page of it.
Sadie Roberton, with the help of Cindy Coloma, brings a
wholesome, faith-based story line to a younger group of
readers in an absolutely flawless way. This is the first
time I had a chance to read anything from Sadie Robertson,
but I am sure this one won't be the last.
From Dancing with the Stars runner-up and Duck
Dynasty star Sadie Robertson comes a fun novel about two
teenage girls from different backgrounds and opposite
lifestyles who discover there is more to friendship than
meets the eye.
Sixteen-year-old A.J. Smith, born and raised in backwoods
Tennessee, loves nothing more than repairing broken cars
with her father and hanging out with her brothers and their
friends. Not far away in the busy city of Nashville, Kate
Kelly is always dressed in the latest fashion, wearing
clothes from her mother’s boutique and jetting around the
world with her father.
When A.J. starts going to the school Kate attends, they
instantly dislike each other. But as the year progresses,
Kate’s brother Val is drawn to A.J., and when prom comes
around, he asks her to be his date—much to his sister’s
displeasure. But Kate has bigger things to think about,
including the reality show Real Life. Everyone says
the show is her chance to make it big. But then the
producers decide to bring A.J. into the show.
As the producers of Real Life try to stir up the
drama, Kate’s idea of the perfect prom spins out of control.
When Kate’s life goes disastrously wrong, it is A.J. who
steps up to help—no questions asked. A friendship between
the two girls just might grow—but only if they both live
original and stay true to whom God made them to be.
In Life Just Got Real Sadie Robertson inspires teens
to find the value God has placed inside us all and to live
with confidence and purpose in a very complicated world.
