First Line Friday

First Line Friday | Week 132 | The Happy Camper by Melody Carlson

It’s First Line Friday! That means it’s time to pick up the nearest book and quote the first line. Today I’m sharing from The Happy Camper by Melody Carlson, as Revell were kind enough to send me a paperback review copy. Yay for #Bookmail in the middle of a lockdown!

Here’s the first line of Chapter One:

Dillon Michaels was fed up—but it wasn't with dinner. In fact, she was ravenous.

I love the cover! They are such happy colours—something that’s good to look at as New Zealand heads into winter.

What’s the book nearest you, and what’s the first line?

About The Happy Camper

Home is the place to heal, right? At least, that’s what Dillon Michaels is hoping as she leaves her disappointing career and nonstarter love life behind to help her grieving and aging grandfather on his small Oregon farm. The only problem? Her eccentric mother beat her there and has taken over Dillon’s old room. After a few nights sleeping on a sagging sofa, Dillon is ready to give up, until she receives an unlikely gift–her grandfather’s run-down vintage camp trailer, which she quickly resolves to restore with the help of Jordan Atwood, the handsome owner of the local hardware store.

But just when things are finally beginning to run smoothly, Dillon’s noncommittal ex-boyfriend shows up with roses . . . and a ring.

Full of quirky characters, family drama, and sweet romance, The Happy Camper will have you scouring Craigslist for your own diamond-in-the-rough camper to restore and haunting your local hardware store for a handy guy to help your dreams come true.
