Happy Friday, book lovers, and welcome to First Line Friday hosted by Hoarding Books. I’ve been keen to read the book I’m featuring today since I first learned of it a few months ago, and it’s finally reached the top of my TBR pile! The title alone is enough to catch your attention: The Truth About Romantic Comedies by Sean C. McMurray, but read the description and it’s impossible to pass up.
About the Book
Self-proclaimed social scientist Rachel Wilson hasn’t reconciled herself to her mother’s cancer, but she’s doing her best to stay positive…and distracted. With his dry wit and easy acceptance of her bright blue hair, Timothy might be the answer to a prayer Rachel hasn’t had the strength to ask.
As a fast friendship blossoms into something more, Timothy and Rachel learn that Rachel’s father’s job will soon take her family to a new life across the country. Knowing that their time together is running out, Timothy and Rachel go all in on an experiment that will put every romantic comedy cliche to the test, to say nothing of the foundation on which their relationship was built. Happily-ever-after has never been so hard.

Today on my blog, I’m sharing the first paragraph from A Silken Thread by Kim Vogel Sawyer: https://christianfictiongirl.blog/2019/03/21/first-line-friday-80/. Currently I’m reading Ladies of Intrigue by Michelle Griep, so I’ll share a line from there.
“Mr. Farris and the soldiers thundered off, but despite the danger disappearing into the dark, Helen’s heart still beat an irregular tattoo, for Isaac strode toward her.”
Hope you have a great weekend. Happy reading! 🙂❤📚
I like rain too 🙂 It’s those little white demon dots I’m not so fond of haha.
On my blog today I shared the first line from When You Are Near by Tracie Peterson: https://thebeccafiles.com/2019/03/22/first-line-friday-53/ but I’m now currently reading The Baggage Handler by David Rawlings so I’ll share the first line from my current chapter (4) here: “David corralled his nerves and forced them into one knee, which bounced an erratic dance as he sat in the reception area of Sisyphus Financial’s top floor.” Hope you have a great weekend!
Today I’m sharing the first line from The Lady of Tarpon Springs by Judith Miller:
“Zanna Krykos closed her eyes and offered a silent prayer for God’s direction.”
Have a great weekend!

This sounds like a fun read – I don’t read a lot of YA (so many books, so little time), but I do enjoy it.
I’m sharing the first line from The King’s Mercy by Lori Benton on my blog today, and that’s what I’m currently reading. It’s my first Lori Benton book and I’ve heard great things about her writing, so I have high expectations!
Happy Friday! I’m sharing from General Meade: A Novel of the Civil War by Robert Kofman on my blog, here’s the first line from the next book I’ll be starting, Beauty in Battle by Robin Patchen:
“Darkness swallowed Harper’s rental home even before Jack navigated his pickup around the corner.”
