“Wouldn’t you love to get lost in a good book?”
What if the characters in our books were actors? What if they had lives beyond the ones written for them? What if closing a book was like ending a shift for them? On call actors! Must be quite tiring, huh? Still, what a fantastic premise!
Sadly, I must confess I didn’t really enjoy the way the story developed. It’s well written, yes, and the book in itself is beyond stunning, yes, but the story… I guess it just wasn’t my cup of tea. To be honest, I w ...more

Between the Lines is an interesting concept for a book & I applaude Jodi for writing this book with her daughter & her ideas.
