Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading. Anyone can play along!

• Grab your current read
• Open to a random page
• Share two (2) “teaser” sentences from somewhere on that page
• BE CAREFUL NOT TO INCLUDE SPOILERS! (make sure that what you share doesn’t give too much away! You don’t want to ruin the book for others!)
• Share the title & author, too, so that other TT participants can add the book to their TBR Lists if they like your teasers!

My Teaser Tuesday is The Guilty One: A Novel by Lisa Ballantyne

" The vast majority of clients have had really difficult upbringings...D'you know how much a damaged child in the care system will cost the state throughout the course of its life?
Irene narrowed her eyes, considering, then shrugged."

    Really good teaser! I can't help but wondering what the situation is, and why Irene acts so nonchalant about it... I love your blog background, btw!

    That's a serious teaser. I'm also wondering why Irene shrugs it off.

    Nice tease. My blood pressure increased just from reading it, because it too my mind to how wretched the U.S. foster care system is.
