As the only child of an only child, Lizzie Linwood had never given much thought to cousins. Before her first summer in Massachusetts, cousins had been an abstraction, like Turkish Delight, which, after having read about it earlier that year, she'd decided must be the sort of candy that the children of royals ate. From the backseat, she grabbed a few grapes out of the container her mother had wedged between the two front seats. According to her mother's new husband, she now had dozens of first cousins and too many second cousins to count.
Three Story House by Courtney Miller Santo
Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading. (2011) Lizzie kept quiet a long while, listening to the sound of her mother trying to hide the fact that she was crying. "You always ask for too much. This is the end of it. The very last time."
Have you read this book? Would you keep reading?

I like the hints of conflict that the author dropped into the opening -- her mother's new husband and the changes that may come to her life with dozens of cousins. I'd keep reading to find out what happens.
Thank you for visiting my blog and leaving a comment.

I've been seeing this one around a lot lately! I like the intro and the premise...I'd keep reading.
I'm not sure about this one. I want to know why her mother is crying, but I need to read a little more before deciding to stick with it.
I'm liking the sound of this one and I love the teaser, I want to know what is happening with her mother. Is she talking about the new husband? Here is my TT https://cleopatralovesbooks.wordpress.com/2015/01/06/teaser-tuesday-january-6/

Reminds me a movie I watched once. I think I'd like the atmosphere.
