First Lines Fridays – 10th March 2023

Hey everyone!
It is time for this week’s First Lines Fridays post!


First Lines Fridays is a weekly feature for book lovers hosted by Wandering Words. What if instead of judging a book by its cover, its author or its prestige, we judged it by its opening lines?

  • Pick a book off your shelf (it could be your current read or on your TBR) and open to the first page
  • Copy the first few lines, but don’t give anything else about the book away just yet – you need to hook the reader first
  • Finally… reveal the book!

The first lines of today’s chosen book are:

The house will tell them what happened. Everything here tells a story. The truth will set you free, they say.
They’re wrong.


And the book is…

Nobody But Us by Laure Van Rensburg

PURCHASE HERE (affiliate link): Amazon UK

GoodReads Synopsis:

STEVEN HARDING IS A HANDSOME, WELL-RESPECTED PROFESSOR.

ELLIE MASTERSON IS A WIDE-EYED YOUNG COLLEGE STUDENT.

Together, they are driving south from New York, for their first holiday together: three days in an isolated cabin, far from the city.

Ahead of them, the promise of long, dark nights – and the chance to explore one another’s bodies, away from prying eyes.

It should be a perfect, romantic trip for two.

EXCEPT THAT HE’S NOT WHO HE SAYS HE IS.

BUT THEN AGAIN, NEITHER IS SHE . . .
