“People in the real world would kill for a happily ever after, and you’re willing to just throw it away?”
I look away from her. “It’s hardly a happily ever after when you wind up right back at the beginning. I’ve never experienced ‘after’ at all.”
About the Book:
Delilah is a bit of a loner who prefers spending her time in the school library with her head in a book—one book in particular. Between the Lines may be a fairy tale, but it feels real. Prince Oliver is brave, adventurous, and loving. He really speaks to Delilah.
And then one day Oliver actually speaks to her. Turns out, Oliver is more than a one-dimensional storybook prince. He’s a restless teen who feels trapped by his literary existence and hates that his entire life is predetermined. He’s sure there’s more for him out there in the real world, and Delilah might just be his key to freedom.
A romantic and charming story, this companion novel to Off the Page will make every reader believe in the fantastical power of fairy tales.
I like the sound of this one. Thanks for mentioning it. 🙂

OH my penguins, so many adorable illustrations! And for this specific book, the illustrations often interact WITH the prose, which is epic and unique I think!

I am fan of Jodi Picoult. I have not read any of her YA stuff yet though. She tackles some great issues. Great blog too!!! Thanks for visiting mine as well.

I especially adore Handle with Care by her–I read that long before I even knew what osteogenesis imperfecta was, and am so so thankful to have picked that book up–and been able to learn something from it!
Also, thank you! I’m so glad you enjoy the blog! And thank you for visiting, in return! ❤

Is this a romance novel? From the excerpt, it seems like it’s a fantasy novel! I’m definitely intrigued. And is Pride and Prejudice supposed to be funny? Because what I have read, I’m finding the conversation quite humorous.

It’s sort of a fantasy/romance? There IS romance in it, I won’t lie–but there’s also a lot of fantasy happening. 🙂
Pride and Prejudice was written to be tongue-in-cheek funny, I think, yes. The dialogue, especially–Elizabeth Bennet is one of the snarkiest characters from classic literature I’ve run across so far! 🙂

Oh excellent, because I wasn’t sure when I’ve been reading it if it was meant to be that way.

It IS interesting–I had a ton of fun reading it! The illustrations were a particular favorite of mine–they were so super adorable and interacted with the text in a way reminiscent of the Winnie the Pooh movies. Thank you so much for stopping by!

Is this one a tearjerker like all of the other Jodi Picoult books in existence? I’ve been reluctant to read any of her books since Nineteen Minutes floored me so spectacularly.

Actually, no! This one leans more toward the fairy tale / fantasy than the realistic tear jerkers Picoult usually goes for. 🙂
