Oh my gosh that was one of the cutest things I've ever read!
I read "Off the Page" back in 2015ish. I didn't know it was a sequel at the time. I never had the inclination to read the first book until recently, and I was glad I did.
The story, although telling a fairytale, has a very fairytale feel to it. Delilah is the ideal early 2010s main character. She doesn't fit in, she doesn't like dresses, and she's a loner. Pieces of her still ring true for every teenage girl, regardless of the time they grew up. She's relatable to her core.
Oliver is as good as fiction, no wonder she fell for him.
This book had an innocent overtone that was very appropriate, but not too much to be juvenile. Anyone could enjoy this work, regardless of age.
As a typical teenage experience, the parent is vilified even if they're doing their best. While the archetype is old by now, I understand it since every teenager feels as though their parent is against them.
This book invoked all the beautiful fuzzy feelings that come with cute and cheesy stories. I loved it from start to finish.
