Happy Friday!!!! Welcome back to “First Lines Fridays”!!!

For those of you who are new to this, First Lines Fridays is a weekly meme that is hosted by Wandering Words. It’s a very quick and simple meme all you have to do is:

Choose a book from your shelves/current read, open the book to the first page, copy the first line or two on the page making sure you don’t give away the book title and then reveal the book.

FIRST LINES:

Synopsis/Blurb (Taken from Goodreads):

“Eight self-drive cars set on a collision course. Who lives, who dies? You decide.

When someone hacks into the systems of eight self-drive cars, their passengers are set on a fatal collision course.

The passengers are: a TV star, a pregnant young woman, a disabled war hero, an abused wife fleeing her husband, an illegal immigrant, a husband and wife – and parents of two – who are travelling in separate vehicles and a suicidal man. Now the public have to judge who should survive but are the passengers all that they first seem?”
