Hey,
Has anyone ever read
Between the Lines by Jodi Picoult?
No, I’ve never read it. What’s it about? It sounds interesting though.
Okay, I was just wondering if it was any good lol!
here’s a synopsis from Wikipedia. It sounds like it could be good but it also sounds like it could be horrible lol!
Delilah, a 15-year-old teenager, bookworm, and social outcast is obsessed with a fairy tale story about Prince Oliver called Between the Lines. No one is able to understand Delilah’s obsession with a book written for children. Delilah’s parents are divorced, and her best friend is a punk-rocker named Jules, who is an outcast of her own choosing.
Delilah feels caught between her erratic family life and her loneliness at school. While Delilah loves her over-protective mother dearly, she also wishes for something more. Delilah creates a vision of what her father must be like, as she has never known him. All she knows about her father is that he left when she was a baby, and that he has his own life.
Delilah’s nemesis is the most popular girl in school, Ally McAndrews.
Delilah confides her worries to Prince Oliver and is shocked when he suddenly begins to talk back to her. Before long, Delilah and Oliver forge a bond neither have experienced before, and they begin to fall in love.

I haven’t. I usually don’t read in English…
Okay.
No I haven’t read it… But I did look it up and read the synopsis. Is the author a Christian? If not, I would be a little leery reading a teen romance. Just my first reaction.
Yeah, not sure if she is or not. You have a point haha!
Ya, I agree with Claire. It does sound sorta cool (I mean, what isn’t cool about someone talking to a character from a story book?!?!), but it could also be sorta trashy if it isn’t by a Christian author and it’s a teen romance. Sometimes I’ve started books that seem totally fine, and before I finish reading the end of the first page I have to put it down. But I don’t know. *shrugs*
@Olivia
Yeah I’ve read books written by non christian authors and they were good.
But I’ve never read any romance books. Not really my thing, but this books just looks fun! haha!
@beth20
I know just because the author isn’t a Christian doesn’t mean they don’t write good books, but romances are very different. I agree that the book does look interesting, but ya, I’d just be careful.
@olivia
Okay! I looked it up on Common sense media (a site like Plugged In, and it looked fine. I just don’t know how good it is. haha
I checked it. The author isn’t Christian.

@olivia
Okay, thanks!
@beth20
Okay, cool. Even if it’s not super good, it sounds okay, so if it’s clean and I had a copy I’d give it a try. 🙂 But it’s up to you of course.
@eitan Okay, thanks.
Yeah, thank you!
Yup! 🙂
