Teaser Tuesdays and It's Tuesday....Where Are You?


TEASER TUESDAYS asks you to:
Grab your current read.
Let the book fall open to a random page.
Share with us two (2) “teaser” sentences from that page, somewhere between lines 7 and 12.
You also need to share the title of the book that you’re getting your “teaser” from … that way people can have some great book recommendations if they like the teaser you’ve given!
Please avoid spoilers!



Talked out, I stopped, sighed, and expected Jacob to say something pat, commiserate with a "God, can you believe parents?" or "Are you sure your dad wasn't just trying to be funny?" But he stayed completely quiet as though he were listening to my silence, processing what I was saying without words. And finally, he said, "Even geniuses can be Class A assholes."

I am currently living outside of Seattle where I live with my mother who eats her feelings and my father who is a verbally abusive jerk. I'm not perfect and he can't stand that. He hates looking at me because half of my face is covered with a port wine stain. I just want to get out of here and go far, far, away to college but I'm sure that dad won't pay for me to attend an "art" school. Life is depressing, that is until I met Jacob......now there seems to be all sorts of possibilities!

  2. Great teaser but fantastic Where Are You? I wasn't really interested in this book until I read your post. Wow! Thanks so much.

  3. I like that you put the summary... adds a little bit to help me "tease out" whether or not I'd be interested in the book.

    I've seen this one around and I've been wavering, but it might likely end up on my TBR list. Thanks.
