Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading.
To play along just do the following:
Getting Over Garrett Delaney by Amy McDonald.
This is such a sweet and uncomplicated story, nothing sinister or violent lurking here. Yet at the same time it’s about a very serious problem most of us face at some point: Being in unrequited love ... with your best friend (that part is optional). This book could be shallow, obnoxious, and absolutely boring, but it is nothing like that. I instantly liked Sadie and they way the story is written. Sure, it might not be a deep, epic plot, but it is a fun read with witty dialogue and a great cast of characters. Perfect if you’re looking for something quick and entertaining.
Tease us with your current reads in the comments.
To play along just do the following:
- Grab your current read
- Open to a random page
- Share two (2) “teaser” sentences from somewhere on that page
- BE CAREFUL NOT TO INCLUDE SPOILERS! (make sure that what you share doesn’t give too much away! You don’t want to ruin the book for others!)
- Share the title & author, too, so that other TT participants can add the book to their TBR Lists if they like your teasers!
Getting Over Garrett Delaney by Amy McDonald.

“The only way they’ll ever discover great literature is if someone makes a Disney sing-along,” I say. “Anna Karenina: the dance-off.”
-- Chapter 1
“Sure, they’re just adorable,” she says. “For the first five minutes. And then I want to wring their adorable little necks.”
-- Chapter 7

This reminds me of "Perfect Chemistry" which I liked. Sometimes I like simple, quick and entertaining--will keep this in mind. I just finished a slow complicated, confusing one which didn't appeal to me at all (Playing Dead).

Haha. Great teaser. Sounds like an entertaining read, so thanks for sharing!
I hope you'll stop by to check out my teaser.
Anna Karenia: the dance off! That's the funniest line I've heard all tuesday! Great Tease! Picking up this book now!
My TT!
Happy Tuesday!
This sounds good to me! I wanna know more!
Here is my Teaser Tuesday: Inspector Singh Investigates: A Curious Indian Cadaver post!
I love the idea of a Disney version of Anna Karenina! This sounds like a book with plenty of humor, and one I'd enjoy.
My teaser this week is from The Lie.
this sounds fun :)
My 1st TT is on my blog:
