Book Beginnings on Fridays is a meme hosted at Rose City Reader designed to feature the book you are reading right now by sharing the first few lines of the story.
This weekend I’m reading Being Friends with Boys by Terra Elan McVoy.
“I’m on my way up the stairs to my locker Monday morning when
Being Friends with Boys by Terra Elan McVoy
Abe comes down the other direction. He sees me and goes, “Trip’s out of the band,” over his shoulder, halfway past me on the staircase already.”
I’ve been hankering to read this one ever since I saw the description earlier this year, so I’m super excited to have snagged a copy.
Here’s the summary, taken from Goodreads:
Charlotte and Oliver have been friends forever. She knows that he, Abe, and Trip consider her to be one of the guys, and she likes it that way. She likes being the friend who keeps them all together. Likes offering a girl’s perspective on their love lives. Likes being the behind-the-scenes wordsmith who writes all the lyrics for the boys’ band. Char has a house full of stepsisters and a past full of backstabbing (female) ex-best friends, so for her, being friends with boys is refreshingly drama-free…until it isn’t any more.
When a new boy enters the scene and makes Char feel like, well, a total girl…and two of her other friends have a falling out that may or may not be related to one of them deciding he possibly wants to be more than friends with Char…being friends with all these boys suddenly becomes a lot more complicated.
Sounds tempting…thanks for sharing. Here’s MY FRIDAY MEMES POST
That’s an impressive design to make in your coffee.
Here’s my Book Beginning.
I like that beginning, and the title. Not too sure after the synopsis.
Good beginning. Enjoy!
