It is January 1st 1987 and we are in a restaurant on West 63rd Street and Broadway. My parents are having a major fight. They’re always fighting and they really combust on special occasions. It’s my birthday, this is supposed to be my treat, but they’ve completely forgotten that.
It’s Tuesday, where are you? is hosted by raidergirl3.
Just quote a couple of spoiler-free sentences the book you’re reading to tempt other readers.
Here is mine:-
” On the night of my thirteenth birthday, I made an announcement. “I am never getting married and I am never having children.” “

Fleur in her World 
That’s quite an announcement for a thirteen year old to make!
If all she sees is her parent’s fighting, I think I understand her announcement. Hope the book isn’t a downer for you.
That sounds like a character I’d relate to!
Not a happy childhood!
Well, good for her! I like a kid that knows what she wants. A very good teaser!
My teaser is here.
damn! I like to know why she say that!
That is quite the statement for a child to make. Good for her. Great teaser.
This book sounds a little heavy for fun, summer reading!
Did she stick to her stand?
Tuesdays: Teaser/Whereabouts
I said the no children part myself at 13, so I agree with her!
good teaser fleur 🙂
I love the teaser! I’d say 13 was around the age I decided against having children too. It took me a few years longer to agree with the no marriage part as well, but I got there eventually. Heehee!
Meanwhile, my own teaser is at Bookishgal.
Sounds like she’s the only one acting like an adult!! Great teaser!
I’m still struggling with my last Library Loot so haven’t borrowed anything new, but these sound very interesting. I may have to go back to the library, just to have a look…
Oops. The previous comment was for your Library Loot post. Re your teaser – I used to feel that way at age 13!
