Book Review : Between the Lines // Jodi Picoult & Samantha Van Leer

Here is another book that I fell in love with over the past few months of reading.

My Rating :

4.5/5 ✮

Sypnosis :

Delilah knows its weird, but she cant stop reading her favourite fairytale. Other girls her age are dating and cheerleading. But then, other girls are popular.

Delilah loves the comfort of the happy ending, and knowing there will be no surprises.

Until she gets the biggest surprise of all, when Prince Oliver looks out from the page and speaks to her.

Now Delilah must decide: will she do as Oliver asks, and help him break out of the book? Or is this her chance to escape into happily ever after?

Read between the lines for total enchantment.

Review :

I love this book simply because of the fact that the reader gets to communicate with the characters in the book. It isn’t that easy of course and there were some complications before Delilah actually gets a chance to converse with Oliver but still she got to talk to her favourite not to help handsome character.

I really did like the plot line and as always Picoult delivered an amazing read but I couldn’t help but find it a bit too sappy? Kiddish? Am not entirely sure. Yes I did like the book but it was maybe too much of fairytaliness I guess. The book did have quite a few relatable aspects. The fact that Delilah preferred reading over socializing with humans and that sometimes whatever she says although it’s the truth no one is willing to believe in her, a situation gone through multiple of times.

This book in a way teaches about finding yourself in a world that’s constantly trying to say your something your not and also about making sacrifices to achieve your dreams. It gives hope and a happily ever after, no doubt and I guess that’s what I really liked about the book more than anything else. About how Oliver strives to be free from a world he doesn’t belong in and how Delilah tries to find herself in a world she loves.

Another one of my favourites is the cute little doodles and elaborate sketches that you can see throughout the book and it really adds to the magic.

And there you go, another review on another great book. Don’t forget to check it out on your next book shopping trip =)
