I’m obsessed with opening lines. (You may have already realized that). Because of this new hysteria I’ve been thinking about the opening line for novel #2 (that one that I will be revising after I complete my 2nd month of continued education).

In a nutshell: #2 is about a self-centered woman who things men are the problem in her relationships until all of her relationships (friends and family) fall apart and she does some soul searching. (Women’s fiction with humor and romance)

Would this hook you:

I hate breaking up with boyfriends, but it beats the alternative.

Thoughts?

I hate breaking up with boyfriends, but it sure beats marrying them.
