Description:
What happens when happily ever after... isn’t?
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.
Delilah and
Oliver work together to attempt to get Oliver out of his book, a
challenging task that forces them to examine their perceptions of fate,
the world, and their places in it. And as their attraction to each other
grows along the way, a romance blossoms that is anything but a fairy
tale.
This was a cute book, and a good first one for Jodi's daughter, Samantha. I really liked the idea for this story and it was well written. It was a little young for my taste, but good anyway.
