Every Tuesday Vicki at I’d Rather Be At the Beach hosts First Chapter, First Paragraph, Tuesday Intros, where we share the first paragraph or two of a book we are reading or thinking about reading soon.
Mine comes from Death by Dumpling by Vivien Chien.
You know in the movies where someone says “You can’t fire me, I quit!” . . . maybe don’t do that in real life. Unless you don’t mind working as a server in your parents’ Chinese restaurant for the rest of you life.
Turns out finding a new job wasn’t as easy as I thought and my portion of the rent wasn’t going to pay itself. My roommate and best friend, Megan Riley, didn’t have the extra funds to cover my half of the bills, so there was no time to waste being “in between jobs.” And to top it off, those pesky credit card people kept calling me day and night. Without any other options readily available and an ever-so-conveniently open spot at my parents’ restaurant, Ho-Lee Noodle House, I gave in.
Love the sound of this one! Thanks for sharing…and for visiting my blog.
I think it sounds fun.
I read this and really enjoyed it. The main character is very snarky/funny!
Glad to hear that. I’m looking forward to it.
I hope you like it!
This sounds like a quick, fun read!
I think it should be. It might be a nice break after my current read.
I have this one. I haven’t read it yet, but it looks good.
I think it seems fun. The main character seems like she might be amusing, based on the first few paragraphs.
Not sure it’s my style, but this looks very entertaining! Love the opening line. Here’s my Teaser/Intro for this week: http://bit.ly/2F0Hq3X
Yeah, the opening line is great. The second paragraph doesn’t quite keep it going, but it does introduce her roommate who i’m sure will play a big part.
I think it’s going to be funny too.
