I kinda wanted a different ending (for the first time). But I enjoyed it nonetheless, I thought it was an interesting concept.

Jodi Picoult is my favorite author, has been since I was in the eighth grade. Normally her stories make you think; they make you stop and question everything. This story didn’t make me jump out of my skin or question my morals or values, but it was interesting. I have never thought about what happens when you close a book and after reading that, I feel like the possibilities are endless.

Obviously I don’t believe that when you close a book all the characters come to life, but it was such a fun idea. I thought it was creative and unlike anything I had read before. Sure it wasn’t up to normal Picoult status, but why should it be? She co-wrote it with her daughter (which I find amazing!!) and for young adults, so you have to have an open-mind when reading it. I did and I enjoyed it very much!

Honestly, I could relate to the main character, Delilah. Not that I am a complete loner or loser, but in the way that I become really attached to characters. Whether it is with books or TV shows, sometimes those characters start to feel like read friends (wow, that sounds kind of odd), but I know others feel that way too.

The prince was adorable as well. He was cute, quirky, sassy, and charming. He had a couple flaws, but hello he is a prince; he is allowed to be close to perfect. I really liked the scenes where they were inside the book. Entertaining the idea that when the book is open, the characters just perform a play is so fun.

I didn’t much care for the actual fairy tale that the characters were actually in. I kind of felt it was unneeded to make the story good. It was a bit too kiddish for me. Overall, I thought it was a cute and sweet read. I would say it was definitely for a younger audience, but I enjoyed it nonetheless.

This book was... Interesting, in the last 100 pages it was getting rather predictable but it was enjoyable

I read this book in 4 hrs! It grabbed me on the first page and I kept on reading! I can't wait to read the Companion Off the Page too see what happens next! It was an amazing read, great writing, and amazing illustrations!

           OH. MY. GOD. I am literally at a loss of words right now. That book was so amazing I can't imagine how I will make it until tomorrow when I get the next one. I still cant comprehend the amazingness (yes that is a word) of this book. Why is it so amazing? The ending was amazing but still left more to be wanted in book 2. (if that even made sense?) I love how Oliver and Delilah made it together but I wish Edward's story went better. Loved that book so much. I loved the balance of "fairy tale land" and the real world. Why can't I have the 2nd book now??!!?? In conclusion if any of you fabulous people have any question in your mind about whether to read this book, 

READ IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I wanted to love this book. It was a new concept that I had not heard of before, and Jodi Picoult helped write it. But there was something about it that I just can't put my finger on that caused me to not fall in love with it. If I figure out what that was, I will revise my review. The most upsetting part was that I put the book down and didn't find myself wanting to pick it back up again. Yikes!

This was such a fun book! Best concept I’ve had in a while. I really wished this was real. So cute! Oliver was the best!!

For anyone who is into fairy tales and being lost in a book this is THE BOOK for you! One of my favourite books. The best part about it is it isn't so morbid like a lot of Jodi's other books. A must read!

This was great fun & every twist had me uncertain where it would end up. It was greatly enhanced by the pictures which had this indie author drooling. (Maybe one day I can do something similar???) As a lover of fairytales, I knew the ending could be messy, but it was fun & light-hearted. If you enjoy “what-if?” stories & especially fairytales, you might enjoy this one 🤗

Sara 

LOVED this book! It fulfilled all of my expectations!!!! I highly recommend it!!
