Thanks Maud.I'm going to throw out the opening line from my own book. I don't know if I'd put it in the category of "Best" (I'm not the most objective source in this particular case)but here goes:
THE TIMING, DEPENDING ON HOW YOU LOOK AT IT, WAS PERFECT. (prologue)
WHEN LIFE GIVES YOU SHIT, MAKE LEMONADE. (Chapter 1)
Alright, I'm not Salinger, but who is?
