Thea's
overprotective parents are driving her insane. They invade her privacy, ask too
many questions, and restrict her online time so severely that Thea feels she
has no life at all. When she discovers a new role-playing game online, Thea
breaks the rules by staying up late to play. She's living a double life: on one
hand, the obedient daughter; on the other, a girl slipping deeper into
darkness. In the world of the game, Thea falls under the spell of Kit, an older
boy whose smarts and savvy can't defeat his loneliness and near-suicidal
despair. As Kit draws soft-hearted Thea into his drama, she creates a full
plate of cover stories for her parents and then even her friends.
Soon, Thea is all alone in the dark world with Kit, who worries her more and more, but also seems to be the only person who really "gets" her. Is he frightening, the way he seems sometimes, or only terribly sad? Should Thea fear Kit, or pity him? And now, Kit wants to come out of the screen and bring Thea into his real-life world. As much as she suspects that this is wrong, Thea is powerless to resist Kit's allure, and hurtles toward the same dark fate her parents feared most. Ripped from a real-life story of Internet stalking, Who R U Really? will excite you and scare you, as Thea's life spins out of control.
