Taking inspiration from Cathy’s post, introducing First Line Fridays. A weekly feature hosted by Wandering Words, on judging a book by its opening lines rather than its cover or author. I decided to join in myself.
The below is from the book I am currently reading.
The city never sleeps, and neither does Stella’s. A glowing red sign marks out the cafe that serves fish and chips, bangers and mash and American pancakes to Londoners and visitors at any time of day or night. While buses pull up and drift away outside the window, the coffee machine hisses and administers caffeine to the sleepless.
I enjoyed the debut novel of Libby Page so have high hopes for this novel too.

I loved the Lido- probably recommended to me on your blog. I look forward to reading what you think of this new book. It’s got a good first line.

I haven’t come across Libby Page before, but I really enjoyed her first line of this book. Which have you preferred between Lido and 24hr Cafe?
Best Wishes, Charlotte

I preferred the Lido. The 24 hour cafe didn’t seem as strong for me.
