First Lines Fridays is a weekly feature for book lovers hosted by Wandering Words. I first saw this on Life of A Literary Nerd and decided this would be fun to start adding to my blog. What if instead of judging a book by its cover, its author or its prestige, we judged it by its opening lines?
*Pick a book off your shelf (it could be your current read or on your TBR) and open to the first page
*Copy the first few lines, but don’t give anything else about the book away just yet – you need to hook the reader first
*Finally… reveal the book!
Never regret anything that once made you happy. The deathbed advice part imparted years ago by her mother had comforted Steffi in the wake of many mistakes.

The Memory of You by Jamie Beck
The Memory of You is a renewed love story of two people trying to move forward from the mistakes in their past. It is a contemporary romance that will warm your heart.
From Back Cover
Stefanie Lockwood can repair anything, except her heart—that’s still recovering.
After a brutal assault leaves Steffi Lockwood with puzzling memory lapses, she returns to her coastal Connecticut hometown to rebuild her life the best way she knows how—with her hands. But starting a remodeling business with one old friend puts her in the middle of a rift with another. Worse, being hired by her ex-boyfriend’s mother forces her to confront old regrets.
Public defender Ryan Quinn wasn’t shocked when his wife left him, but he was floored when she abandoned their daughter. With his finances up in the air, the newly single dad returns to his childhood home in Sanctuary Sound. The last person he expects, or wants, to see working on his family house is Steffi Lockwood—the first love who shattered his heart.
Although Steffi and Ryan are different people now, dormant feelings rekindle. But when Ryan’s concern for Steffi’s mental health prompts him to dig into her past for answers, will what he learns bring them together or tear them apart for good?
