Teaser Tuesday is a weekly bookish meme hosted by MizB of Books and a Beat If you want to join in grab your current read, flick to a random page, select two sentences (without spoilers) and share them in a blog post or in the comments of Books and a Beat.
This week my teaser comes from Resistance is Futile by Jenny Colgan which I started reading at the weekend but have to admit I haven’t gotten very far with. I’m generally a big fan of all things Jenny but struggling a little to get into this one. I think it may be all of the math 🙂
My Teaser
‘You have…’ The strange man made a gesturing movement to the side of her head. He seemed to be groping for the word, and Connie wondered where he was from. The amount of people who felt the need to point out that she had bright red hair never ceased to surprise her. ‘…hair,’ he settled on finally. He couldn’t seem to keep his eyes off it.
~ Page 11 Resistance if Futile by Jenny Colgan
Synopsis (from Amazon UK)
Connie’s smart. She’s funny. But when it comes to love, she’s only human.
As a brilliant mathematician with bright red hair – Connie’s used to being considered a little unusual. But when she’s recruited for a top-secret code-breaking project, nothing can prepare her for working with someone quite as peculiar as Luke.
Happy reading everyone.
I love the sound of this one, Ali:) I hope it fulfils the quirky promise of the blurb and the extract… Mine is a tad more grim this week – but absolutely gripping… https://sjhigbee.wordpress.com/2016/08/16/teaser-tuesday-16th-august-2016/

I have never heard of this author. I will have to check this one out, as I love books that have red-headed protagonists. Somehow, there is always something excting in books that have red heads! I hope that you find it enjoyable in the end. 🙂

I don’t think I’ve come across many red heads. The only one springing to mind is Ron Wensley although I’m terrible at remembering descriptions:)
