There really is something to be said about a good first line, and I'm going to be using this tag from now on to showcase my current read's first lines.
This week, I'm reading Down World by Rebecca Phelps, and I am enjoying it so far. It's been recommended to fans of Stranger Things, and I can definitely see some similar vibes between the two.
The first line of this strange and interesting story is as follows:
"If Robbie were alive, he'd be a senior in high school. That was the thought that struck me when I entered East Township High on that August morning."
I think I've mentioned this in past First Line Fridays, but I love when the first line of a book throws you right into something dramatic. So just like all the other times in the past, this first line had me hooked right from the start.
