First Lines Fridays: April 14, 2023

First Lines Fridays is a weekly feature for book lovers hosted by Wandering Words. What if instead of judging a book by its cover, its author or its prestige, we judged it by its opening lines?  The rules are as follows:

I found the Birthday Book Tag on Mackenzie’s blog. Created by Antonia at Always Books, this tag provides birthday-related prompts that you completed with a book recommendation that fulfills it.
