Incantesimo tra le righe by Samantha van Leer, Jodi Picoult

Really liked this book! The fictional world was amazing and this is every reader's fantasy. A lovely tale that can be associated with a PG fanfiction of the book-obsessed. (Plus, this REALLY helped me get over my reading slump!)
[A little more spoiler-y here):
My only issue with the book is one of the main characters. Delilah just felt too cliche and fairytale to be relatable. Her high school life alone doesn't make sense. I seriously doubt that the ENTIRE school is going to hate you for breaking a popular girl's nose. Many people probably don't even know who you are, Delilah. Chill.
She was just unrelatable and unlikeable, despite the fact that I am probably supposed to identify with her. I found it hardest to get through her chapters, (which is why I still haven't finished the next book: Off the Page).
BUT, overall, I really enjoyed this read.

I started reading this book before reading any of the reviews. I LOVE Jodi Picoult books. After reading the reviews I decided that I would give the book a chance. But nope, I am quitting before I even get to page 100. I have too many books in my TBR pile to waste time on a mediocre book that does not catch and keep my attention.

There's a reason Jodi Picoult was top writer back then.

Wow! I didn't expect to love this book as much as I did!
I loved the character and how this one book comes alive.
I ship Oliver and Deliah!
Overall this was a very enjoyable book.

Definitely an intriguing and captivating read, and an exciting premise. I felt like interspersing the fairy tale with the contemporary story left each branch a little under-developed, though - while I liked the characters, I didn't feel like we got to know any of them very well. I also found the ending a little jarring and somewhat dissatisfying.

It started off really cute, but then the concept got confusing and a bid muddled.

By the end I was just left to wonder about how their life would be as Delilah went around explaining the world to Oliver and how the author wouldn't notice her son's absence... Edgar, the video gamer, suddenly wonders how people got into that box? It seemed to me that it took a long time to get to the end only to have it rushed.

Overall I did like the book. I kept reading and wanting to know what would happen next.
