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:

The last time I attended a funeral, I ended up with a broken arm. The story made headlines after I threw myself into my mother’s open grave.

Do these lines look familiar????

A Hint:
It’s a contemporary romance featuring Rowan and Zahra.

Have you read this one? I’ve really been looking forward to it. Not everyone I’ve seen has liked it, but it seems that those that do, love it.
Happy Reading,
Alison
