Teaser Tuesday - July 21

Teaser Tuesday is a weekly bookish meme hosted by Miz B at Should Be Reading. Anyone can play along! Here's how it works:
-grab your current read
-open to a random page
-share two teaser sentences from somewhere on the page (avoid spoilers!)
-be sure to include the title and author so other TT participants can add the book to their tbr list if they like your teaser
-leave a comment with your link at Should Be Reading

My Teaser:
"As a couple, there is some sense about us that feels like risk, like adventure, like the tight, sharp bubbles of a good Prosecco. Even when we bewilder each other, make each other screaming crazy, there's a bright metal ring to us like the resonance of something gold and something silver tumbling fast across wet stones. It feels as if we're living on the eve of a rapture." (page 91)

  7. There are several similes in those two sentences, and it's very descriptive and inventive. I'm not sure I understand, though - I'd probably have to read the whole page for context. Thanks for sharing your teaser!

    Dar - There are lots of passages like this - I love them!

    Darlene - ...and so much fun, too!

    Celi.a - A middle aged woman has taken a chance on finding love. She's given up her job, sold her house, and moved to a new country to be with a man. They have some 'adjustment' issues, but are trying to work them out. All this set against the beautiful backdrop of Venice!
