I started reading this book almost immediately after reading Between the Lines.

Full Review: http://groundedwanderlust.blogspot.com/2015/06/bookish-goodness-jodi-picoult-double.html

I'll start off by saying that, even though Off the Page was billed as a companion novel to Between the Lines, it really needs to be treated as a sequel. The authors do give a quick synopsis of the first book in the beginning of this one, but it is pretty heavy-handed and misses some key parts that are important to Off the Page. I definitely recommend reading them both and in order if you are going to start this series.

As for the characters, I didn't think it was possible, but Delilah was even more annoying in this book than she was in the first. Her expectation that Oliver would be all hers was a little ridiculous. Of course he's going to make friends at school. Just because you hate your school and can't/won't (I'm still on the fence about whether or not her lack of friends is actually due to the meanness of the school kids [which is undeniable in the case of two or three of the popular kids whose names I forget] or if she has purposefully isolated herself after what she perceives as insurmountably embarrassing events) make friends doesn't mean every else is the same. I also didn't like how she reacted to some of the situations she and Oliver found themselves in.

In the case of Oliver, he was once again too perfect. Even when he made mistakes (e.g. the "fairy" incident or the SATs) he came out smelling like a rose with new friends and perfect scores. It almost made reading his part of the story unbearable.

The best part of this book, besides the illustrations which were once again spectacular, was Edgar. This is especially true of his relationship with Jules (although I could do without the love triangle which wasn't fleshed out in the story very well at all). Edgar and Jules are the most relatable characters in the entire book. They react the way I would assume normal people would in their situation. I love how they develop over the course of the story, slowly but surely. If there is another book, which is likely given the way Off the Page ended, I will read it to see how Edgar and Jules end up, but I could definitely do without any more Delilah and Oliver.

Happened to see this at the library and snatched it up--I hadn't known that there was "companion" to Between the Lines, which I immensely enjoyed. In fact, you couldn't tear this book out of my grubby little hands for the two days I read it!
That being said, I strongly recommend reading Between the Lines first and treating Off the Page as a sequel.

Again this one is a Picoult book where you have to suspend your disbelief as with the first one, but it's a follow-up on how the characters are faring after the end of Between the Lines. I loved Oliver's point of view, and how he was dealing with things in the real world, there was plenty of humor in his chapters that made me laugh out loud a couple of times. I especially loved all the references to current bands and TV shows--multiple Game of Thrones references that were just great!
The methods that were used to make characters move into and out of the fairy tale were inventive and I had a great time with Off the Page. I would have liked a little more development on the relationships between the characters (still a bit of insta-love between Delilah and Oliver, and same with Jules and Edgar). Book's solution was neat and tidy, with only poor Jules left in a familiar situation.
But hey, I think it was left wide open for another sequel, which I will gladly read!
