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? If you want to make your own post, feel free to use or edit the banner above, and follow the rules below:

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!

If you’re sharing on social media, don’t forget to use #FirstLinesFridays!

Hello, reader!

I hope you’re all having a good end to your work week. It’s Friday and we all know what that means… it’s time for another First Lines Friday post! Today, I’m featuring one of my current reads. It was a random Libby pick that I find myself enjoying quite a bit! The premise is bonkers but, so far, it’s working for me, haha.

Now, let me share the first lines to see if it can pull you in!

The Line(s):

“‘I’m sorry, Asher… but I can’t go on this trip-‘

The last words I expected to hear coming out of my long-term boyfriend’s mouth at the airline ticket counter.”
