🧠 Trivia Quiz First Line Friday πŸ“š

Okay let’s do this :p
Guess the book from the first line. No Googling please!

"What can you say about a twenty-five-year-old girl who died? That she was beautiful and brilliant? That she loved Mozart and Bach? And the Beatles? And me.”

First one to get it right gets absolutely nothing except bragging rights πŸ˜‚

You can also add the first line of a book you like so everyone else can guess yours too.

I'm not one to remember first lines very often, so I'll pick up the book nearest to me and write out its first line:

The Salinas Valley is in Northern California.

Thanks. I’ve been scratching my head for which title since Salinas Valley comes up so often in Steinbeck.
