Teaser Tuesday May 7, 2013



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."

  2. 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!

  7. 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.
