Between the Lines [Paperback] Picoult, Jodi and van Leer, Samantha

Delilah is a loner who finds refuge in the pages of a fairy tale, reading the same story over and over. But when the book's Prince Oliver starts talking back to her, everything she knows about stories gets turned inside out. Oliver is trapped in his own narrative, forced to replay the same scenes every time someone opens the book — and he's desperate to escape into Delilah's world. Co-written by Jodi Picoult and her daughter Samantha van Leer, this is a meta-fictional love story that plays with the very idea of storytelling. It's whimsical without being twee, romantic without being cheesy, and surprisingly moving about what it means to be the author of your own life. Perfect for readers who loved *The Princess Bride* or anyone who's ever wished a fictional character could step off the page.
