I was hooked by the end of the first paragraph. I could envision Abby as she bagged groceries and lived her life of drudgery, while soothing her creative side at home.
By the end of the second paragraph, I knew I needed to know more about what happens to and between Abby and Elise in the weeks and months to come. I want to understand these girls' beginnings and what transpired to plummet Abby to her depths and Elise to her heights.
Most importantly, I want to learn how they'll interact with one another as they face the next parts of their lives. Will Abby reach her potential? Will Elise find the happiness that seems to be missing from her life?
I usually give books between 50 and 75 pages before I decide whether I like them or not. I don't waste my time reading beyond that point if I'm not genuinely hooked. The clever and creative hook in the first sentences of this book ensures it is one I'll eagerly read from cover to cover.
