First Lines Fridays is a weekly feature for book lovers hosted by Wandering Words. What if instead of judging a book by its cover, its author, or its prestige, we judged it by its opening lines?
Pick a book off your shelf (it could be your current read or on your TBR) and open to the first page
Copy the first few lines, but don’t give anything else about the book away just yet – you need to hook the reader first
Finally… reveal the book!
First Lines:
One doesn’t intentionally wear itchy, viridian-green jumpsuits to match the elaborate wainscoting on the walls around oneself.
Did I know it would match?
Of course.
Was I aware it would look fantastic in pictures?
Naturally.
But to actually pick out my birthday-party-turned-surprise-launch-party ensemble for the sake of matching the walls? That’d be ridiculous.
I did it to match Bobby.
Do you recognize the lines?
Here’s a hint:
It’s a new contemporary romance romance.
Still not sure? Here’s another hint:
It’s written by Melissa Ferguson.
The First Lines Friday book is:
