First Line Fridays is hosted by Hoarding Books and participants share the first line from a nearby book.
Today, I'm sharing the first line from The Christmas Swap by Melody Carlson.
"Emma Daley had always loved Christmas as a child, but . . . not so much as an adult."
Have you read The Christmas Swap? If not, check out the book blurb below and read my review. ⭐⭐⭐⭐
What are you reading this weekend? I'd love for you to share your book's first line!
Happy reading!
About the Book:
All Emma Daley wants this holiday season is a white Christmas.
But the young teacher and struggling musician sure can't find that in sunny Arizona. Luckily, there's someone living in a perfect mountain home in the Colorado Rockies looking to make a vacation trade.
West Prescott is an in-demand songwriter and talented musician who put his own singing career on hold to write songs for celebrity acts to perform. When his mother convinces him to do a vacation trade for Christmas, he never imagined one of the houseguests would be so sweet--or so strikingly pretty. Naturally, he decides to stick around, and to get better acquainted, he poses as the caretaker of his own house. But when Emma's friend Gillian discovers his true identity and sets her sights on him, things get . . . messy.
Love the first line! Christmas as a child was always so special :)

ReplyDeleteToday on my blog I'm sharing the first line from The Best-Laid Plans by Sarah M. Eden: https://christianfictiongirl.blog/2021/01/08/first-line-friday-169/. Currently I'm reading Acceptable Risk by Lynette Eason so I'll share from there:
"Sarah stood outside Dustin's duplex door and drew in a steadying breath."
I hope you have a great weekend! 🙂❤📚

The lively tune on the piano couldn’t keep up with the smile in Madysen’s heart.
