Summary: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.
Review:
I
thought that this book was great. Especially because of the fact that I
can connect easily with the socially awkward Delilah. The illustrations
in the book were awesome! I loved the fact that when there was a
different perspective, there was a different colour for each character. The idea was so intriguing. When a book is open, the characters in the book "perform" it but when the book is closed, the characters are free to do what they want. So when Oliver and Delilah first started talking to each other, and he revealed that he didn't want to be part of the story anymore, Delilah and him started plotting different ways to get him out.
The only thing I have to say, and this is a terrible critique, but at times, I though "wow, Delilah is really crazy" which is silly, because the point was that she could talk to the fictional character.
So basically, READ THIS! It's adorable
