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 Me and Mr Just Right by Kaylee Baldwin, which looks to be a fun rom-com with a Goldilocks vibe. (And I just realised this book opens on an airplane, just like last week’s book!)
Here’s the first line from the Chapter One:
What’s the book nearest you, and what’s the first line?
About Me and Mr Just Right
A famous singer fleeing the spotlight. A nature photographer with a secret. One week stranded together on an island…
What’s a country superstar to do when her ex betrays her, steals all her songs, and makes up lies for the media to salivate over?
Escape to a deserted Alaskan island.
Key word: deserted.
Turns out the island isn’t as deserted as Aurelia Halifax has been led to believe, and she’s surprised by the arrival of Haydn Forrester—who is less than happy to discover her asleep in his bed. And when an unexpected summer storm hits, they’re stranded together until it passes.
Worse, Haydn, is a photographer—exactly the kind of person she’s trying to avoid. He doesn’t recognize her, so it’s easy to pretend she’s Lia Hall, a make-up free, sweats-wearing, down-on-her-luck girl from the south. Unfortunately Haydn is proving to be irresistible, but she can’t let herself fall again. Trusting doesn’t come easy for Lia, especially when she learns that Haydn may be behind her biggest betrayal of all.
