Happy Friday and welcome to First Line Friday, hosted by Hoarding Books. Tonight is our first book club for 2021, and our first book club read is my first line Friday choice this week: The Words Between Us by Erin Bartels. I’m looking forward to some good discussion about this one!
About the Book
When she receives an eerily familiar book in the mail on the morning of her father’s scheduled execution, Robin is thrown back to the long-lost summer she met Peter Flynt, the perfect boy who ruined everything. That book–a first edition Catcher in the Rye–is soon followed by the other books she shared with Peter nearly twenty years ago, with one arriving in the mail each day. But why would Peter be making contact after all these years? And why does she have a sinking feeling that she’s about to be exposed all over again?
With evocative prose that recalls the classic novels we love, Erin Bartels pens a story that shows that words–the ones we say, the ones we read, and the ones we write–have more power than we imagine.

What a great first line! Mine comes from A Dance in Donegal bt Jennifer Deibel.
Happy Friday! My first line is from “Healing Hearts” by KImberly Rae Jordan:
“Sophia Haldorson shut off the car’s engine, then turned to look at her almost-five-year-old son who sat in his car seat behind her.”
Got that one on my kindle, need to find time to read it.
My first line is from Obsession by Patricia Bradley:
The January warm spell had definitely ended in South Mississippi.
Happy Friday!
Over on my blog I’m sharing from All of You, Always by Lindsay Harrel: https://christianfictiongirl.blog/2021/02/05/first-line-friday-171/. Currently, I’m just starting A Dance in Donegal by Jennifer Deibel, so I’ll share from there.
“The grandfather clock downstairs chimed the hour, its clangs all too reminiscent of the funeral bells presiding over Mother’s service just yesterday morning.”
Happy reading! 😀❤📚

Happy Friday! I loved The Words Between Us! Today, I’m sharing the first line from Tidewater Bride by Laura Frantz. “Alas, she was not a tobacco bride, but she had been given charge of them.”
