Teaser Tuesday is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading.
Anyone can play along! Just do the following:
Grab your current read and open to a random page:
* Share two (2) “teaser” sentences from somewhere on that page
* BE CAREFUL NOT TO INCLUDE SPOILERS (make sure that what you share doesn’t give too much away! You don’t want to ruin the book for others!)
* Share the title & author, too, so that other TT participants can add the book to their TBR Lists if they like your teasers!
This week my teaser is from pg 40 of ME BEFORE YOU by Jojo Moyes.
Background: Lou loses her job at the café with no notice. Her family depends on her income so is pressured into accepting a well-paid job as a minder to a man who is confined to a wheelchair. His mother interviews Lou and says that Will is difficult but Lou’s chatterbox ways are just what he needs. The teaser comes from where Lou arrives for her first day at work and is being introduced to Will.
“…His eyes met mine and after a pause, he let out a bloodcurdling groan. Then his mouth twisted, and he let out another unearthly cry…”
An intriguing teaser. This sounds interesting.
Here’s My Teaser
Sounds like it’s going to be a challenge! Thanks for the background.
