Teaser Tuesday is a weekly bookish meme hosted by The Purple Booker. 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 The Purple Booker.

This week my teaser comes from The Places I’ve Cried in Public by Holly Bourne. I picked this up Saturday morning and had it finished by that evening, it was just so good. It’s not an easy read, it’s about an unhealthy relationship, but it’s incredibly well done. Bourne is fast becoming one of my favourite writers.

My Teaser

Love hurts. That’s what they always say, isn’t it? Is it real if it’s not hurting. Can you trust it’s love if it doesn’t punch you in the face?

The Places I’ve Cried In Public by Holly Bourne

Blurb

Amelie loved Reese. And she thought he loved her. But she’s starting to realise love isn’t supposed to hurt like this. So now she’s retracing their story and untangling what happened by revisiting all the places he made her cry.

Because if she works out what went wrong, perhaps she can finally learn to get over him.
