It’s First Line Friday! That means it’s time to pick up the nearest book and quote the first line. Today I’m sharing from Brunch at Bittersweet Cafe by Carla Laureano. Here’s the first line of Chapter One:
I read an early version of The Apprentice, and it was excellent—recommended for fans of YA dystopian novels like The Hunger Games or Divergent. Yes, I’m going to read The Apprentice again and write a full review (I have to. I’ve read two versions of the end, and I need to know which one got the final tick!) I’ve also read a draft of #3 in the series. Now I’m anxiously awaiting #2!
What’s the book nearest you, and what’s the first line?
About The Apprentice
The Love Collective is everywhere.
It sees everything.
Be not afraid.
Apprentice Flick remembers everything, except the first five years of her life. And for as long as she can remember, Flick has wanted to enter the Elite Academy—home to the best, brightest, and most loyal members of the Love Collective government.
Flick’s uncanny memory might get her there, too … even if it is the very thing that marks her as a freak. But frightening hallucinations start intruding into her days and threaten to bring down all she has worked so hard to accomplish. Why is she being hijacked by a stranger’s nightmare over and over again?
Moving to the Elite Academy could give Flick the future she’s always wanted. But her search for truth may lead to a danger she cannot escape.
