A review by spauffwrites
Between the Lines by Jodi Picoult, Samantha van Leer

3.0

This was a cute YA fairytale that didn’t turn out the way I expected. This biggest conflict is getting Oliver out of the book, and I was expecting there would be more about what happens to him once he’s no longer fictional. For a while, I thought he might have been a real person trapped in the book by another character or the author herself, but he really is just a fairy tale prince. The main female character, Delilah falls prey to the tropes of a lot of YA heroines — a little clumsy and awkward, unpopular girl in school, missing a father, etc. — but she’s funny. The underlying fairytale would make an excellent kids book.
