Waiting on Wednesday is hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine. It's a way to highlight eagerly anticipated hot, new titles.
I've never participated in this meme before, but once I read the excerpt on this one, it immediately went on my Must Read list!
by
Jodi Picoult and Samantha van Leer
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.
I am looking forward to this, too. It seems so different from normal Jodi Picoult books!

Jodi is always good, but this book is taking her in an entirely new direction. Can't wait to read it!
DeleteOkay, normally I don't read many Picoult books, and I don't know if it's the addition of the other author, but this sounds exactly like a book I'd want to read! Looking forward to your review!
ReplyDeleteI'm really excited that she's written a YA title. I can't wait to read it either!

This one seems so cute. And it's written by a mother-daughter duo. Should be good!

I've read a few Jodi Picoult but haven't heard of Samantha van Leer so I'll be sure to keep an eye out for this.
ReplyDeleteJodi Picoult keeps coming up with these great books. I definitely want to read this one too.
ReplyDeleteMy WOW...
This sounds really good! I love the idea of the boy speaking to her from the book, I always wanted that to happen to me as a kid. I've never read Jodi Picoult but I've always wanted to give her books a try. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteMy WOW
Oooh....me likee! I've been seeing it around the blogosphere and Shelf Awareness but this is the first blurb I've read. Thanks for adding to my wish list *-* (no really, thanks!). ^_^
ReplyDeleteThis one is on my list, too! I preordered it awhile ago, so I'm very excited to finally get it.
ReplyDeleteI'm guessing this one will be a wonderful addition to my books.

I was lucky enough to get a copy from Simon & Schuster. It was good, but I can't compare with her adult book, as it was the only book I have ever read of Jodi Picoult. Great pick!

ReplyDeleteBetween the Lines sounds like a wonderful story, thank you for sharing this review :}. You might also enjoy a new rags to riches story for young adults entitled, The Corporate Kid, by Neil Shulman and Susan Wrathall. The story is dramatic and humorous. I highly recommend this one.
