Between the Lines

I found the characters boring and the dialogue simplistic. Although it is marketed as YA, I think it is more suited to a younger age group. 

This is the book fantasy lovers have been waiting for. If they've ever felt like their lives should be in the pages of a book. Adds a new dimension to the fiction genre. Page turner. Really great read!

i wanted to read this because i enjoyed the off-Broadway production so much, but it's... not nearly as good as the show. also, Jules (my favorite character in the show) isn't nonbinary in the book, so.

It was an interesting concept that was cute, fluffy and an enjoyable book. There was some inconsistencies, but overall a good book if you're looking for a quick and fun read.

Tammara Webber's Easy was her breakthrough novel that got lots of buzz from romance readers of all ages. Because I enjoyed it so much, I checked out Between the Lines, the first book in her series about a group of teen actors and actresses. It was a much more typical YA book that alternated between the POV of Emma, about to have her breakthrough role in a modern adaptation of “Pride and Prejudice,” and Reid, the cynical playboy teen superstar actor. It wasn't bad, but it didn't knock me out like Easy did, and it would appeal to a much narrower audience (that's okay, it's a YA nove; I'm not a YA by any means). I don't feel any burning desire to read the rest of the books in the series.

A decent read. The premise was rather intriguing, but most of the characters were never fully developed and the plot was resolved much too easily.

I'm a big fan of Jodi Picoult and also enjoy the theme of fairy tale based novels/films so I thought this book might be a winner. Fairy tale character trapped inside the book falls in love with the young female reader and together they try to help him get free.

Written in conjunction with her teenage daughter is how the book is marketed yet having read it I get the feeling it owed more to the daughter than Picoult as it read very much as though written by a very young author and lacked depth that an adult writer would bring. The story seems to introduce lots of themes but answer none and the ending was somewhat of an anti-climax leaving lots of unanswered questions.

I didn't come away thinking this was a great read, an average one but not worth the current asking price - there are better books out there to spend £6.99 on.
