I have very mixed feelings towards this book. It was a super cute, fun and refreshing read. But I had also had a couple issues with it.
I liked the overall idea of the story, and I'm super glad I read the first book before I jumped into this, while I enjoyed the first one immensely, this one felt a little flat. I think my biggest issue was that in my mind this story isn't completely believable. While we all wish our book boyfriends would literally just walk about of the book, but its not real or believable. I couldn't seem to grasp in my mind how this just seemed to work perfectly. I also had a really hard time with the switching of characters. From book to real world made a more sense, then from real life to book. Why would you want to cast yourself away to a life of literally about 65 pages, filled with the exact same people and with no real change in anything. It just didn't make any sense to me.
Also the romance was a bit of a sore spot for me. The book lies very heavily on romance, its the entire backbone of the series, but in this installment I didn't like any of the relationships. Personally I would have preferred a book that was all about Oliver adjusting to life in the real world.
This book had its ups and downs, and while it by no means a favorite of mine, it was still a cute little read.

This was my first Jodi Picoult novel ever. I loved how the alternating perspectives got different colored font. The illustrations were gorgeous. It was a pretty cutesy and entertaining read.

I thought that this book would be like a regular contemporary because Oliver is already out of the book. BUT WOW THAT WAS AMAZING!
I do think you should read between the lines first because you get more of an insight on all the characters and it makes more sense.
This book was so good. I didn't expect for it to touch me in such a way.
