Books: First Lines Fridays 27th June 2025

It’s First Lines Fridays, where every week I share the opening line of a book. Just one sentence to give us a taste of what’s inside. Sometimes it surprises me, sometimes it puzzles me, but it always makes me want to know more. Care to take a guess?

I'm participating in First Lines Fridays as I think it's a great way to highlight more of the books that are on my bookshelves. 

What is First Lines Fridays?

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 Pick For This Week


The first lines of the book:


“Thanks for meeting me here.” “No problem,” I say, adjusting my seat at a table for two at a small coffee shop in Silverlake. It’s off the beaten path. Not crowded, it seems to be frequented by artsy young locals. Hipsters. The vibe is funky, filled with flea-market finds and local artwork, including, to my surprise, one of my husband’s abstract paintings. It’s definitely not the kind of place you’d expect to find one of Hollywood’s A-List actresses . . . Nicole Farrell.

Book synopsis for Remember Me by Nelle L'Amour

From the USA Today bestselling author of The Family Guest and The Night Nanny, comes a gripping, ripped from the headlines suspense that will have you racing through the pages until the jaw-dropping end.

Investigative reporter, Skye Collins, is determined to expose the story that will blow Hollywood apart. But when she digs too deep, she literally digs her own grave. Her car careens off a cliff and explodes. Skye is killed instantly, and her sensational, tell-all story is buried with her.

Was it an accident… or murder? Did someone want Skye dead?

Skye’s husband Finn, a struggling artist, tops the list of suspects. But Finn goes free, and his wife’s tragic death remains a mystery.

Five years later, Finn, now a successful painter, hires a live-in governess to homeschool his young daughter, Maddie. Scarlet is perfect —caring, a brilliant teacher, and Maddie adores her. Finn finds himself drawn to his attractive employee even as she keeps her distance.

Because Scarlet is hiding a deadly secret. She knows the shocking truth about what happened to Finn’s late wife
.
And this truth may cost Scarlet her life too.

A ticking clock, a sinister predator, and a forbidden romance combine in this unputdownable page-turner, perfect for fans of B.A. Paris, Liv Constantine, and Lisa Jewell.
