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!
“My hand shakes as I brace myself against the brick wall. Rain falls cold and sharp against my skin, from a sky I’ve never seen before. It’s hard to catch my breath, to get any sense of where I am.”
Can you guess what the book is?

Okay, Okay! I will tell you.
It is from A Thousand Pieces of you by Claudia Gray
I received this book as a gift for Christmas and I am planning on reading the entire series as soon as I finish my current read, Strange the Dreamer by Laini Taylor.
You can find the Goodreads page for this book here.
This was super fun and I hope to do this every Friday! I hope you enjoyed. Let me know down below if you were able to guess what book it was. Also, let me know if you have read and enjoyed this book.
Love,
Jackie
Of course! I recently discovered it and I found it a lot of fun to do! I hope you enjoy!
