In the beginning, there’s a boy standing in the trees. He’s around my age, in that space between child and man, maybe all of seventeen years old. I’m not sure how I know this.
My Thoughts
These sentences are from the Prologue, and they really sucked me in. They make me really curious to know who this boy is and why he’s standing in the trees. Also, how does she know how old he is?

I have wanted to read Unearthly for awhile; however, I never got around to it. With that beginning, I need to! Thanks for sharing! Something about the simplicity is very striking.
Here’s my book beginning:

That’s a pretty good beginning! Thanks for posting it in the first BBOF of 2013.
Sad 56. Really sad.
It sounds like she’s or he’s talking about heartbreak, not love.
Yes, sometimes love does hurt that much!
Here’s My 56
I agree with Freda – that is sad. It’s not always like that though!
loved both of them – beginnings and the 56..
