Book Beginnings is a book meme hosted by Rose City Reader where participants share the first sentence (or so) of the book, along with initial thoughts about the sentence, impressions of the book, or anything else the opener inspires.
The Friday 56 is hosted by Freda’s Voice, and the rules are quite simple: Grab a book, any book, and turn to page 56 or 56% in your e-reader. Find any non-spoilery sentence(s) and post.
This week’s book: Always and FOrever, Lara Jean

Author: Jenny Han
Publisher: Simon and Schuster Books for Young Readers
Publication Date: May 2, 2017

Lara Jean is having the best senior year.
And there’s still so much to look forward to: a class trip to New York City, prom with her boyfriend Peter, Beach Week after graduation, and her dad’s wedding to Ms. Rothschild. Then she’ll be off to college with Peter, at a school close enough for her to come home and bake chocolate chip cookies on the weekends.
Life couldn’t be more perfect!
At least, that’s what Lara Jean thinks . . . until she gets some unexpected news.
Now the girl who dreads change must rethink all her plans—but when your heart and your head are saying two different things, which one should you listen to?


Thoughts
I am so glad that Jenny Han has published another of Lara Jean’s stories! To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before is one of my favourite series, and I was so sad when I learned that it was only going to be a duology. Returning to Lara Jean’s world has been so much fun, and I am especially loving her baking adventures.
Book Beginning:
I like to watch Peter when he doesn’t know I’m looking.
Friday 56:
The next day is surprisingly springlike for March. The sun is shining and the flowers are just beginning to bud. It feels like I’m in You’ve Got Mail, when Kathleen Kelly goes to meet Joe Fox in Riverside Park.
Happy reading and have a great weekend.

I’ve never read anything by this author but this ones sounds good. This week I am reading The Love Interest by Cale Dietrich. Happy reading!
She is one of my favourites! 🙂
This sounds like a series I’d enjoy, beginning with the first book. I love coming-of-age stories.
My Friday post features The Secret Wife.
It is a perfect coming of age story, for sure! 🙂
I just started re-reading the first book so that I can re-read the second so that I can FINALLY read this final book! I am so seriously excited!
I am so jealous!! I wish that I could have done exactly that! Enjoy. 🙂
I have had the first book in this series on my TBR list for so long. I must get to it.
My Friday Quotes
Summer is right around the corner and I love to read books like this while sitting outside by the pool. Such a lovely cover too:)
