Every Tuesday I host First Chapter First Paragraph Tuesday Intros, where I share the first paragraph or (a few) of a book I am reading or thinking about reading soon. This one sounds light and fun.
What Nora Knew; Linda Yellin
Gallery Books - 2014
Ten minutes after saying "I do" at The Garden City Hotel in Long Island, I was already having my doubts. But how do you say "I don't" to a man who's considered quite the catch. Everyone was constantly telling me--even strangers--that Evan Naboshek, of the firm Naboshek, Halla, and Weiss, was a fabulous hell of a prize.

What
do you think?
Feel free to join in and post the Intro from one of your reads by linking below.
I enjoyed this one...hope you do, too!
ReplyDeleteGood to hear, Laurel
DeleteRegrets right after saying, I do. Not good. This sounds like it will be a good one, Diane. I hope you like it! I would keep reading. :-)
ReplyDeleteWhy did she let it go on so long? I once asked myself the same question LOL
DeleteI agree with Literary Feline. Too bad she didn't act on her doubts before saying I do.
ReplyDeleteso true, guess he wasn't the good catch other thought LOL
DeleteNow what does she do? I'd keep reading to find out.
ReplyDeleteThis sounds like a book I'd enjoy.
I know really? too late now
DeleteThis does sound very good - I'd have to keep reading to see why she said yes and what her doubts stem from.

I know, and am anxious to see what is causing her to rethink the "I do".
DeleteNot a good start to a marriage - but an intriguing opening for a book.
ReplyDeleteAnxious to hear more about why she feels that way.
DeleteWonderful opener!
ReplyDeleteI agree, thanks for stopping by Mystica and hope you are having a good week.
DeleteI don't think this book would be for me, but it's a great opener.
ReplyDeleteI wasn't sure it was for me either, but I think it will be nice and light and fun.
DeleteGreat opener, but I think I'll wait and see what you think. Doesn't sound like my type of book.
ReplyDeleteI didn't think so either, but it is nice and light and just what I need now.
DeleteI enjoyed the opening paragraph and would read more. I hope you enjoy it.
ReplyDeleteThanks Pat, it definitely has potential.
DeleteI would definitely keep reading if for no other reason than it takes place in my area.
ReplyDeleteThat's a good reason Yvonne:)
DeleteI liked the intro, especially the theme about people being "good on paper", but I would need to know more about the premise of the book.
ReplyDeleteThe reviews are great Sara and it sounds like a fun, quick read.
DeleteSounds like a hoot...I'd keep reading.
ReplyDeleteGlad u like the sound of it Catherine.
DeleteGreat opening! I'd have to keep reading!
ReplyDeleteYay, glad u like the sound of it.
DeleteI would keep reading too. I like the title.....she knew!
ReplyDeleteShe knew something -- LOL
DeleteOops! I would read some more.
ReplyDeleteGlad it sounded good to you too B.
DeleteThis is a great idea! The book I chose doesn't start off with anything interesting. It was kind of a dud but I used it anyway because it's the latest book I was reading.
ReplyDeleteAngie, Thanks for stopping by. I tried to comment on your blog, but was unable to??
DeleteNot the best way to start a marriage but would keep me reading.
ReplyDeleteCat - that's what I thought as well LOL
DeleteI think this is a book I would absolutely love. Have a good week! kelley—the road goes ever ever on
ReplyDeleteKelley - It seems nice and light and what I need about now.
DeleteDiane - I accidentally sent a second link through on Mr. Linky when I was looking for any new posts that had been added. The second on (#22) is wrong--if you want to delete it. If not, it's last week's 1st Chapter, so it's on topic--just a repeat. Sorry!
ReplyDeleteNo problem Wendy; I'll check it later.
DeleteOh, oh! The marriage is not off to a good start! I'd read more....
ReplyDeleteI thought it was a great opening:)
DeleteFreda - it does doesn't it?
ReplyDeleteLove the opening! It definitely doesn't bode well for the marriage!
