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:
“My bright ideas have landed me in trouble more times than I can count, but I think my most recent brainchild is a winner.”
Do you recognize the lines?
Here’s a hint:
It’s written by Remi Carrington.
Still not sure? Here’s another hint:
It’s a sweet contemporary romance!

Page Length: 236
Publication Date: April 22, 2024
Publisher: Phrey Press
Synopsis: He’s the only witness to the most heartbreaking moment of my life. No way am I giving him a second chance.I played some part in the demise of our relationship, but mostly it was all on him. At least the way I see it. But I didn’t need him. Still don’t.
Anyway, the spark of first love has been out too long to rekindle.
No matter what people say. Time doesn’t heal all wounds.
He wants to forgive and forget and see if we can make it work now that we’re older and wiser. I want to dig a hole for him to crawl into.
It’s up to me to decide. I can forgive or spend my golden years lonely and hating him. It’s a tough choice.
