Off the Page (Between the Lines, #2)
Jodi Picoult
From #1 New York Times bestselling authors Jodi Picoult and Samantha van Leer, OFF THE PAGE is a tender and appealing YA novel filled with romance, humor, and adventure. Delilah and Oliver shouldn’t be together. But they are together. And just as they’re getting used to the possibility that happily ever after may really, truly be theirs, the universe sends them a message they can’t ignore: they won’t be allowed to rewrite their story. Delilah and Oliver must decide how much they’re willing to risk for love and what it takes to have a happy ending in a world where the greatest adventures happen off the page. “Off the Page is just so sweet and magical. In high school, I would have given ANYTHING to crawl inside one of my favorite books to escape the real world. I wish!”—SARAH DESSEN, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Saint Anything

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!
