First Line Friday (7): The Life and Deaths of Frankie D. by Colleen Nelson



First Line Friday is a bookish tag hosted over at Abstract Books that is used to showcase your favourite first lines of books.

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.

Today's First Line Friday is coming from The Life and Deaths of Frankie D by Colleen Nelson. I just started this book two days ago, and I'm almost finished with it, so I'll be posting the review for it soon!


The first line is as follows:

"The dreams started the night of the break-in. Two weeks ago, my foster mom, Kris, and I had come home from a movie to find the front door open. Every room had been sifted through. My drawers had been dumped and the bed tossed. Kris's too. Nothing was missing, but Kris was rattled. Break-ins were unusual in our quiet neighborhood."
