Good premise for a book but not my style.

Book concept was definitely a 5, but some of the writing got to me. I do think that it is worth the time to read for anyone--especially teenage girls. I am sure they would love it. I teetered on giving it a 4.

This book had an interesting concept but it was not written well. It was SO FULL of clichés, and I hated how cheesy their romance was. I found the ending confusing and weird.

Loved the whole book. Very unique and real characters who I really enjoyed. I hope they write another book together.

So so so so good!! It draws in the reader and doesn't relinquish you until you're completely finished with the entire book. The thing I love about it is the different perspective of the story telling... :) Highly recommended

When I first picked up this book, I was curious as to how Jodi Picoult and her daughter did composing this story. You can tell from the beginning that the plot was all of Picoult's daughter's idea. This wasn't one of my favorite books, but I did find the different colored text and illustrations drawn into the margin of the pages extremely entertaining.

The plot of this story is actually a good one. It brings up a very good question: What happens to the characters once the book is closed, and how do the characters feel about reenacting the same story over and over again for eternity? And all in all, I thought that mother and daughter didn't I really good job of writing out this plan.

The romance was predictable, like any fairytale romance, and the ending wasn't exactly ideal. Like I said before, it wasn't one of my favorite stories, but it was a fun read, and I found that I couldn't put it down once I got into it.

*3.5/4 stars

Super cute concept. Kind of like Toy Story but, substitute the toys for a book and add some teen-romance.
