Who R U Really?, claims in it's blurb to excite and scare you--a real life story of internet stalking. Who R U Really, definitely read as a realistic situation but it did very little to scare or excite me for that matter. That's not to say I wasn't entertained because I was. 
 My initial reaction to the first couple of chapters wasn't a good one. I thought I wouldn't be able to keep reading but I did, and it managed to keep me entertained. The main character, Thea--definitely comes off as gullible, irritating, possibly a little boy crazy, and definitely above all else naive. But, it is those very things that make the story more realistic. Once, I got that point in my head, reading the book was all the better. She's a teen who's unsure of who she is, and what she wants. The very fact that she doesn't understand the dangers of Internet Stalking shows in the way her personality came together. 
 So, if you find yourself annoyed by her initially, there's a reason, and essentially it works--so keep on reading. 
 I do have to disagree with the overprotective parents mention in the beginning of the book. I would assume as a teen who just want to live her life as she sees fit, would find the parents overprotective. But as an outsider looking in, I felt their "protectiveness," was just the right amount. Especially considering a lot of parents in YA are painted as busy, or absentee. The mother payed just the right amount of attention, and I really appreciated that. 
 Let me talk briefly about the other characters, the mom, the brother, the best friend, and the "crushes." They were pretty interesting in the only way they could be in this kind of story. The mother was perfect. Her reactions, the way she handled everything--was exactly as they should be. She rocked. The best friend was the "brain" of this book--she thought in a way Thea never could. The brother was an older brother usually is. Assertive, pushy, and older brotherly. The crushes are hard to talk about because I don't want to discuss their role but they definitely kind of kick started the book, and one of them remain essential in the actual story. 
 All in all, Who R U Really is an interesting read that realistically portrays the dangers of the internet, and the creeps that lurk around on it. It didn't blow me away, it didn't thrill me but it kept me entertained. I would recommend this book to readers that have children, and even those that don't. I think there's something to learn for everyone in this novel.
