Between the Lines by James Pindras is a historical fantasy that shows how love can last through time.
Jake is a young boy when his uncle gifts him a very special book. The story hooks Jake in and over time he begins to live between two worlds; the present day and the fantasy realm within the pages of the book. He was warned that by reading the book he may lose himself to the extraordinary story that somehow seems to influence his real life.
Could Jake really fall in love with the mysterious heroine of the story? Could she love him?
Pindras’ story is comparable to fairytales of old. Good vs Evil, magical creatures abound and an everlasting love are mingled to create a lovely read. I read this book quickly, as I was caught up in the mystery that the author evoked just like the main character of the book is entranced by his fantasy.
I would recommend this story for anyone who enjoys a good old fashioned fairytale.

Amazing
Between the Lines is a cool story about a boy named Jake. He gets a strange old book from his uncle. When Jake reads it, he gets taken to two different places: his normal life and a medieval kingdom called Aquitaine, where he becomes a guy named Jacques.
In Aquitaine, Jacques meets a girl named Amanda, and they go on adventures together. But back in the real world, Jake is just a regular kid going to school and hanging out with friends.
The story is all about Jake figuring out who he really is and if he can fall in love with a character from a book. It's full of magic, excitement, and romance.
Overall, Between the Lines is a fun and interesting book that will keep you hooked from start to finish.

This was a lovely read: I read it in an evening. It followed parallel characters that came together in the reading of the book, so, in a way, it was a little like historical fiction that had a brief meeting with The NeverEnding Story. Very sweet. Some romance. Some life-lessons about hardship. My only complaint is the trope of a romantic love saving someone. Still, very enjoyable and easy to recommend.

Such an amazing story
I was so entranced with this book that I read it all in one sitting. I couldn't stop reading. It's so mesmerizing. A story that wove time together. The parallels and the magic of reading a book. I was without words when I finished. I laughed and I cried (a lot) and it was such a satisfying read and it is one of my favorite reads this year.
