Between the Lines edition by Tammara Webber Literature Fiction eBooks

I am so not a Young Adult romance reader, so when I started this unabridged audiobook, I was startled to say the least. The blurb doesn't really give this hint away. I almost clicked off but the story hooked me fairly quick. I have to say I thoroughly enjoyed the entire book UNTIL I reached the end. Fully expecting a HEA, I was grossly disappointed to have the book just STOP. No real hint of a future, but not really a noticeable cliffhanger. I always resent authors who sell their books to unsuspecting readers without warning them that to hear the entire story they will have to read at least one more book. It's false advertising. So while the pacing, plotting, and especially the dialogue would have made me allocate five stars, the no real ending relegated the book to four stars. Not even sure I would read the next book to find out what happened.

Between the Lines edition by Tammara Webber Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews

I read Between the Lines in an entire day. I didn’t want to put it down, and it turned out that I had the opportunity to just keep reading. I did feel like a huge, lazy bum once I finished and realized that I didn’t really get off the couch for that entire period of time, but that’s okay. Every now and then you need one of those days and the perfect book to go with it. Between the Lines was a fun read for me. It has two narrators, Emma Pierce who has just been assigned her first acting lead in a major film even if it’s not her dream role, and then there’s Reid Alexander who is already a star with a huge fan base.

Emma and Reid have instant on-screen chemistry which creates an almost instant attraction to each other. As the description says Reid’s ex-girlfriend, and first real relationship, Brooke, is also an actress in this movie. And at the same time, Reid has competition for Emma’s affection—Graham, another actor in the film. Reid has family issues as most people do. His mother is constantly battling for sobriety and his father is mostly emotionally and physically absent while making Reid feel like he’s the emotionally and physically absent one. Reid acts out accordingly. He’s had his heart broken once, and since that experience plus watching his parents crumbling marriage, he’s decided that love and relationships aren’t for him. Yet he sets his eyes on Emma.

Emma’s mother died when she was much younger. Her father remarried shortly after her mother’s passing to a woman vastly different. Emma’s stepmother seems to be a fame and glory hog, always trying to be in the spotlight, trying to mooch off Emma’s success, and very much trying to act much younger than she is. You can see that Emma’s father wasn’t quite sure how to cope with losing her mother, and this just seemed like the easiest option. And that’s exactly what he’s done since—whatever’s easiest. Easy isn’t a teenage girl, with an acting career, who lost her mother several years ago. Emma does have an immediate attraction to Reid, and it seems like she sort of feels like he’s who she should be dating. Yet she also has a developing attraction to Graham—another co-star—who she just can’t seem to figure out.

Graham is confusing to the reader as well. He’s obviously attracted to Emma, but something is holding him back. Emma and Reid both assume that it’s Reid’s ex-girlfriend Brooke, but as the reader, I just didn’t buy that. Of course, there is more than meets the eye to both Brooke’s backstory and to Graham’s. Events unfold and everything makes sense. The way the ending wraps up was satisfying and enjoyable for me.

While I can’t say that this was an overly emotional read, I was definitely hooked early on. I liked that Tammara Webber didn’t go the typical or obvious route with her dual narrators. Emma was just the person that Reid needed to bring himself out of the self-centered, self-involved place that he’s found himself. She’s probably the only person who can show him that the “truths” he’s told himself about love are in fact lies. As I said earlier, I liked the ending. It felt satisfying. I felt closure, but when I read the description for book 2, Where You Are, it seems like several aspects that were “wrapped up” with this ending are again “open” as if the characters didn’t get any closure. I do plan to read book 2 and continue this series, but I’m already not excited about rehashing some things that felt handled with the ending of Between the Lines.

Between the Lines gets 4 Stars from me. Have you read it? What did you think? Let me know!

This book did not work at all for me. Let me start by saying I'm glad I was introduced to Tammara Webber from reading Easy, if I had read this first I probably would not have read Easy.

I personally thought this book was a big snooze fest. When I picked it up, I was looking for a light read. This just had no weight to it. The quick change of POVs, I found to be distracting. Most of the time they weren't long enough to get into that Reid or Emma's head. I personally think Reid turned out to be a giant ass. He claims he feels there is something different with Emma, but acts like he wants to get in her pants the entire time.

I had a big issue when a gigantic secret was revealed about Brooke and Reid that Emma overheard. Come to find out Reid knows Emma knows but nothing comes of it. He's not trying at all.

Now I did like Graham. I'll leave it at that.

This book didn't work for me at all and maybe I just don't get it.

Also- can we discuss all the underage, public drinking? They are rising stars considerably underage, whatever.
