Tuesday Intro/Teaser

First Chapter First Paragraph Tuesday Intros is a weekly meme hosted by Diane at Bibliophile by the Sea every Tuesday. To participate share the opening paragraph or two of a book you've decided to read based on that paragraph. Please feel free to join in, First Chapter~First Paragraph~Tuesday Intros.

"Hi, my name is Hannah...and I'm a Widow." Three in the morning. Again. Like any good therapist, my bathroom mirror has infinite patience. "Before I was widowed," I say, "I was born. Then I had boobs. Then I had relationships. My relationships were all in L.A., a magical place where the men have less body hair than the women. Then, I fell in love. Then I was pregnant. Then I was married. I do things backwards, it's my way." I haven't slept in weeks. Tears come to my eyes. Eyes I no longer recognize. "Then, I was the happiest woman on earth," I whisper."

The After Wife by Gigi Levangie Grazer

Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading.
