Comments for Book Beginnings on Friday: Bhangra Babes
Book Beginnings on Friday: Bhangra Babes: 07/08/10
Book Beginnings on Friday is a meme hosted by Becky at Page Turners. Anyone can participate; just share the opening sentence of your current read, making sure that you include the title and author so others know what you're reading. If you like, share with everyone why you do, or do not, like the sentence.
Thank you to Rose City Reader for giving me the idea for this meme. On Rose City Reader you will find 'Opening Sentences of the Day' so please have a look at this wonderful blog for further opportunities to share opening sentences.
I am reading Bhangra Babes by Narinder Dhami. It's part of a series and as always, I'm reading the series out of order.
Product Description:
It's Amber, Jazz, and Geena Dhillon's dream come true: Their interfering Auntie is finally getting married and moving out. The girls can’t wait to get the house and their dad back to themselves, and they certainly won't miss their nosy Auntie at all–right? Meanwhile, Amber tangles with a new girl with a bad attitude, and falls head over heels for a would-be rapper whose attitude might be even worse. The girls' friend Kim just might be the only one in their group with any sense, and–could it be? Has dorky George Botley blossomed into a Man of Style? Will Amber get her love life straightened out before it ruins Auntie's wedding? And will the girls learn to survive without Auntie around to keep them in line?
The Opener:
"Do you think it will hurt?" Jazz asked.
"No of course not," I said briskly. "Now stick your leg out."

I hope you are enjoying this installment of the series - I haven't heard of these books I have to admit!

It's a cute book. I'm about halfway through. The author also wrote a novelization of Bend It Like Beckham. I have another book in the series to read too.

There's a lot of screaming a few lines down.
