Teaser Tuesdays - The Red Gate


Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading. Anyone can 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!

I'm on page 145 right now and really liking this book so far. It's intriguing and I love the writing style.

He mused upon how he had found adult life: ill-fitting, like a suit of clothes that bunched and lumped up under the arms, tight enough to make breathing an effort. It didn't really suit him, yet here he was, dressed head to toe in his life as a grown man, but feeling still, like the boy he'd been all those years ago.
(page 20, The Red Gate by Richard Sutton)
