"Did you really think that a story exists only when you are reading it?" What if the characters are free to do whatever they like as long as they are ready to resume their proper place in the narrative as the reader resumes reading? What if one of the characters decides he wants to escape from the story? What if one particular reader can hear this character and attempts to help him escape from the book? Written by Jodi Picoult and her daughter (It was her daughter's idea.), Between the Lines is a clever, happily-ever-after modern fairy tale, scribed in three different ink colors, and features a surprisingly pleasant resolution.
"Once a story is told to someone it can't be erased."
"Home is not a place, but rather the people who love you."
"Sometimes the key to happiness is just expecting a little bit less."
"Just because it's fiction doesn't mean it's any less true."
"The act of reading is a partnership. The author builds the house but the reader makes it a home."
