Between the Lines may be a fairy tale, but it feels real. Prince Oliver is brave, adventurous, and loving. He really speaks to Delilah.And then one day Oliver actually speaks to her. Turns out, Oliver is more than a one-dimensional storybook prince. Hes a restless teen who feels trapped by his literary existence and hates that his entire life is predetermined.

I hibernated this one a few months ago but I‘m glad I came back to it. I love that Picoult‘s daughter came up with this story idea & they wrote it together. A sweet, YA romancy/fantasy story that also has characters who‘ve experienced serious & life changing events.
My first read for September and I‘ve already started the sequel.

Once upon a time in a land far, far away there lived a brave king and a beautiful queen, who were so much in love that wherever they went, people stopped what they were doing just to watch them pass.

I think I would have loved this if I was a teenager, but it was just a little too young for me.

My first thought was that this book was too middle grade for my current mood but I quickly read to the creativity in the story and had fun reading about a book that when the pages are closed have a life different than the roles they play in print. Beware, characters may be watching you if you keep your book open between readings! It must have been a blast for mother and daughter to spin this yarn.

Liatrek Loved this book ❤️ 2y
marleed It was such a fun surprise! I‘ve had it on my shelves for several years and had no idea this was a little gem of a read! 2y

Have you ever read a book and wanted to talk to the character? Well then this book is for you. It was a quick read. But it was alright.

I can‘t figure out why this book doesn‘t deserve a higher rating. It reads quickly (was able to finish it in two evenings), but I guess it just didn‘t really seem to come together for me. The premise is very intriguing, however it‘s very hard to make a believable method of making a character come to life, at least without using magic!

I really needed this book when I read it. It just transported me into a different, kind of weird, world. I definitely wouldn‘t have written it the same way, but it did the job of transporting me, which is what I was looking for.

This is a fun book where the reader can communicate with the character in the book. I like the sentence where they use LISTEN instead of HEAR. There‘s a big difference between hearing something and really listening.

The author takes us into the imaginary place of the lives of book characters once the pages have been closed. What do they do while they wait for you to open the book and continue reading?

Sigh😍😍😍I am such a YA sucker sometimes but I absolutely loved this book! Who hasn‘t wished a fictional character could not only talk to us but pop off the pages into our world. This books is sweet with beautiful illustrations. I am glad I have the sequel on hand to start reading.

Hung out with my mom & sisters- @GloVerdino & @JuliWilliams - today at the NY Sheep and Wool Festival (Rhinebeck!!). You‘re wondering how this is book related, right? Well, we are all wearing items knit from yarn dyed by Jodi Picoult‘s sister in law. The colorway for two of them was inspired by the tagged book. We saw the dyer walking around the festival and showed her our creations, but didn‘t get a picture. #knittersoflitsy

cathipink Rhinebeck is the best! Which dyer is Jodi's sister in law? 5y
Valink @cathipink fuse fiber studio. The speckled yarns in the knits above are hers. I know in my project the solid isn‘t hers, but not sure about everyone else‘s. 5y
cathipink Thank you so much!! I'll go check her out. Happy to find knitters here on Litsy 🙂 5y

Such a great book! And beautiful, too; look at the illustration!

I believe it; characters have lives after we close the book.

And who‘s to say that we can‘t rewrite the narrative and ending of our own story?

Can‘t wait to read the next book! 📚

(Wrote this 😊)As he sat surrounded by all the drama of his life, he couldn't help but ponder over how she flipped through his life page by page. How her fingers traced along the papers of his story, enchanted by the the smell of old books he gave off. He was mesmerised by her, by her tousled hair as she read her book on sunday mornings while sipping the steaming cup of tea.

And for the first time, the character fell in love with the reader...

I love this book & the sequel so so so much! I'm really debating on re-reading this beautiful book. I love the cover & the prince inside of it. The characters in this beauty are amazing & so fun to read about. The prince is such a dreamy chracter, lol. I love the animals in it too!! If you love reading and wish that characters could come to life out of your books, you'll enjoy this 😍❤

I've always wanted to read a story where the main character falls in love with the reader. And this literally happens within this book! She's obsessed with a fairy tale and falls in love with the main character. He talks to her and they try to find away to get him out of the story. Great book!
