Happy Friday Friends :)
I hope you're all having a great week, and that you're all looking forward to the weekend.
For today's post, I'm happy to say that I'm finally taking part in another First Line Friday link up.
It's been a very long time since I've taken part in this fun, weekly blog meme that is hosted by the lovely Hoarding Books.
I'm hoping this year to have more time to participate in these again, and I thought today would be a great day to start off with it.
If you're unfamiliar, First Line Friday is simply a way of sharing with other book bloggers the first line of the book you're currently reading.
This week I'd like to share The Fifth Avenue Story Society by Rachel Hauck.
Release Date: February 4th, 2020
About The Book:
An invitation to join The Fifth Avenue Story Society gives five New York strangers a chance to rewrite their own stories.
Executive assistant Lexa is eager for a much-deserved promotion, but her boss is determined to keep her underemployed.
Literature professor Jett is dealing with a broken heart, as well as a nagging suspicion his literary idol, Gordon Phipps Roth, might be a fraud.
Uber driver Chuck just wants a second chance with his kids.
Aging widower Ed is eager to write the true story of his incredible marriage.
Coral, queen of the cosmetics industry, has broken her engagement and is on the verge of losing her great grandmother’s multimillion-dollar empire.
When all five New Yorkers receive an anonymous, mysterious invitation to the Fifth Avenue Story Society, they suspect they’re victims of a practical joke. No one knows who sent the invitations or why. No one has heard of the literary society. And no one is prepared to bear their deepest secrets to a roomful of strangers.
Yet curiosity and loneliness bring them back week after week to the old library. And it’s there they discover the stories of their hearts, and the kind of friendship and love that heals their souls.
(synopsis from goodreads)
First Line:
"Well this was a fine mess."
I personally loved this one, and I think it's Rachel Hauck's best work to date. I highly recommend it checking it out.

Happy Friday! I'm looking forward to Rachel Hauck's new book! Today I'm sharing the first line from The Camera Never Lies by David Rawlings: "Eighty-eight years of life reduced to a vintage, cracked briefcase sat before Daniel Whiteley."
