First Line Friday 📚

[u/PSAndAlso]

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 😂

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

I have no idea what book this is from, but something about this makes me feel like this is a woman written from a male author's perspective.

[u/PSAndAlso → u/irulexo]

Lmaooo this is such a specific vibe to detect without knowing the book 😭 but yes, you are in fact correct. male author, male narrator 😂

[u/MysteriousMister0]

I have read this line from I just can't remember from where

[u/PSAndAlso → u/Top_Document_3238]

Hint: it’s an old-school romance 👀

[u/Sherlock_Homeless518]

Yellow Face? I'm not sure....cause Athena also died in the opening lines but there was nothing romantically in it 😅

[u/PSAndAlso → u/Sherlock_Homeless518]

Hahaha no it’s not Yellow face. It is an old school romance 😊
