Book Spotlight: Between the Lines by Jodi Picoult and Samantha van Leer

Between the Lines
by Jodi Picoult and Samantha van Leer
Expected publication: June 26th 2012 by Simon Pulse

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'll be honest, I've never read anything by Jodi Picoult, but since this is a YA I'm thinking I might give it a try. It's got a fairy tale twist, and I love books like that, so it could be interesting.
