Teaser Tuesday: Everything Beautiful Began After by Simon Van Booy

•
Simon Van Booy has a big following in certain sections of the blogiverse and they are certainly passionate in their praise of him! My library doesn't have any of his books so when I saw this book on Netgalley a little while ago, I knew that I had to take this opportunity to try his work and see what all the fuss was about.

My teaser this week comes from page 12:

The real Rebecca lay beneath, smuggled onboard each flight inside her uniform, waiting for the moment to reveal herself.

But such a moment never happened, and her true self, by virtue of neglect, turned from the world and slipped away without anyone noticing.

Please note that this selection comes from a galley version of the book and therefore may be changed in the final version.

Teaser Tuesday is hosted by Miz B at Should Be Reading. Head on over to find out all about it, and how to join in!

    I agree - that is tremendously sad!

    My teaser this week is from ‘The Strange Case of Finley Jayne’ by Kady Cross.
