Delilah, a loner hates school as much as she loves books— one book in particular. In fact if anyone knew how many times she has read and reread the sweet little fairy tale she found in the library, especially her cooler than cool classmates, she’d be sent to social Siberia forever.To Delilah, though, this fairy tale is more than just words on the page. Sure, there’s a handsome (well, okay, incredibly handsome) prince, and a castle, and an evil villain, but it feels as if there’s something deeper going on. And one day, Delilah finds out there is. Turns out, this Prince Charming is not just a one-dimensional character in a book. He’s real, and a certain fifteen-year-old loner has caught his eye. But they’re from two different worlds, and how can it ever possibly work.

I've always wanted to read one of Jodi Picoult's books but just never got around to it. When I found this book that was wrote by both Jodi Picoult and her daughter, I was intrigued. When I learned it was about storybook characters coming alive I was sold! It was a cute story about storybook characters that come to life once the book is closed. This book is YA but it reads for a much younger audience. It is a fun read. It keeps you reading to see if Oliver and Delilah find a way to be together in the realm of reality. I am not a huge fan of the ending but it was a cute story.
