This was such a cute book and a very enjoyable read. I would have loved to see a more diverse plotline as it seemed somewhat repetitive but otherwise, I enjoyed the way the characters interacted with each other. I especially enjoyed the "real-life parts" of the book over the "inside the story" because it showcased what it's like for a quiet girl to grow up and find friends in non-conventional places. The author knowing about the book's 'realness' (its connection to her son) was very sweet and a nice touch.

Not particularly finder of it.

The story is good and it really traps you page after page. However there is this odd feeling of awkwardness. It gets boring and repetitive at times. It's a good idea in theory but I feel it could have been much better. Inconclusive ending for me at least.

I read it in one sitting and it was amazing. I fell in love with the characters and I laughed so much while reading!

I bought this book to read to my daughter at bedtime. I was after something a little more interesting that the usual fairy tales. I'm still looking. The book has an interesting premise but it's poorly written and underdeveloped. The characters are two dimensional and stereotypical. I have no idea who the target audience for this book would be, it's written in language a 5 or 6 year old would use but then has some rather dark passages and adult themes thrown in. I bought this as an e-book so I was affected by the horrendous fonts used in the hardcopy.

LOVED it! I'm a big fan of Jodi and even as Jodi tells everyone on her book tours don't expect this to be like her ADULT fiction books, this is an YA book. She wrote this page by page with Sammy and it's definitely NOT like her adult books but still a good starting block for teens to work towards reading her books in the future.

Oh man, this book was every reader's dream come true. How many times have you wished you could meet your favourite characters in real life? What if that wish comes true?

I absolutely loved Between the Lines. I love Jodi Picoult's works, but she usually writes much more mature fiction and I wasn't sure if I'd enjoy her YA work, but I SO did. I guess I shouldn't have doubted her skills. She's a queen with words and this book proved that to me once more.

This was a hard one to rate. I actually like it, but I don't love it.
The concept that this book was so good - but wasn't executed correctly.
I noticed a bunch of inconsistencies that could be easily looked, then again, it is also what caused the disconnected with me from the most part.

Full review to follow.
