First Line Friday of February 14th, 2025
DeeDee,
Today is Valentine's Day! First Line Friday 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!
Note that I do this feature once in two weeks instead of every Friday. Alright, let's get this started!
Here is the first line of 2/14/25:
"I hate Valentine's Day!" Seventeen year old Jennifer Harris exclaimed.
Do you know which book this line is from? Scroll down to find out!
Keep going. You’re getting there!
Almost there...
