If you missed segment one, it was the hookers of chapters, those glamorous sentences that keep you from putting that book down and tell you you can pull through one more chapter. If you get the chance, go around to the other author blogs. They will not disappoint you!
Today, we're focusing on the hangers, the last sentence of the chapter where you sit there and think, "OMG!" and keep reading though it's 2am and you have to be up at 5am for work.
Hangers from After Elizabeth (YA Contemporary) in no particular order:
In the place of sorrow, I found fury. Pure, unadulterated, uncontrollable, fury.
"I run alone," she states, re-hardening, and bolts.
Even though I'm going to get expelled.
If I don't exist to Claire Davis, maybe I'm not real.
It was the beginning of the end. We never should have gone.
But, I find myself thinking, at least she's my neighbor.
Ready for this to be over, I checked my watch. We still had four minutes left of our ten minute run.
There would be a score to settle very, very soon.
Who is this girl?
And the last one I'll put up for this:
Then there are the mother fuckers, like Chad Higgins, who recognize the rope, and push people like

Love these. Again, I'm totally drawn to this story! Well done!
ReplyDeleteYay! Thank you very much!
DeleteSo good! I thought the first one was my favorite until I read "If I don't exist to Claire Davis, maybe I'm not real." Oh, the angst! Love it :)
ReplyDeleteThanks! The non existing one is one of my favorites, too :)
DeleteI really like the 1st one, these are great!
ReplyDeleteThanks, J.A.!
DeleteReally great lines. I love the one about there being a "score to settle." :D
ReplyDeleteThanks, Leigh!
DeleteLove the not existing line! All of these were amazing! :)
ReplyDeleteMost of the comments are saying the not existing :). I think it's my favorite, too :)
DeleteThese were all really good. I like the not existing one a lot.
ReplyDeleteThank you very much!
DeleteThese are all fantastic! Great work!
ReplyDeleteThanks Kyra!
DeleteI really like this one: "If I don't exist to Claire Davis, maybe I'm not real." Although the "beginning of the end" one is great too...
ReplyDeleteThanks! A lot of commenters like the existing one, too :)
DeleteGood job! This one is fabulous. If I don't exist to Claire Davis, maybe I'm not real.
ReplyDeleteThanks!
DeleteNice endings, and agree definitely the last one got my attention. Enjoyed reading your hangers.
ReplyDelete"We should never have come." I love the solemness of this statement.
ReplyDeleteThank you. It is my MC Claire speaking about what happened to Elizabeth :)
DeleteYour last one cracked me up. Good job!
ReplyDeleteI generally try to drop the f-bomb into all of my young adult works...I swore a lot in high school :)
DeleteOh I like these. 1 and 8 are my faves, those could so easily go into my story. Seems we have a sense of revenge in our story telling :)
ReplyDelete:) Usually anger and revenge.
DeleteAll great hangers. Makes me want to see what happened in the chapters right before.
ReplyDeleteTotally laughed at the last one. Great job!
Two thumbs up for #4 :D I liked the last one too ;)
ReplyDeleteBoth of those have gotten the most comments, lol. Thanks so much for stopping by!
DeleteWow, your writing feels really raw. I love that. That first line is so powerful. Definitely a follower now. I'm really glad for this bloghop. :D
ReplyDeleteThank you very much! And this blog hop was great! It was awesome meeting you via twitter and blog-o-sphere :) Thanks for following!
DeleteI love the emotion in the first one! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks!
DeleteAll of them are really strong, but I think your final one was my favorite! :)
ReplyDeleteSome great hangers here! "If I don't exist to Claire Davis, maybe I'm not real." Great voice!
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteLove the tone and the voice you've got going here! Great hangers Lynne!
ReplyDeleteThanks bunches!
DeleteVery good! These sound intense. Well done!
ReplyDeleteIt is a pretty intense novel. Thanks!
DeleteThe first one is awesome. I get the feeling this is a fast-moving book.
ReplyDeleteThanks! And I hear it moves pretty fast, a beta told me that she read it in a day.
DeleteThe last one got me!
ReplyDeleteMission accomplished :) Thanks!
Delete#1 is my favorite. Fury is such a good word.
ReplyDeleteI think f-words might just rock. I prefer the f-bomb, but fury is good, too :)
DeleteI really like the score settling one. But I have to go with this one for the bad words (I love bad words):
ReplyDeleteThen there are the mother fuckers, like Chad Higgins, who recognize the rope, and push people like Elizabeth off.
I'm a huge fan of naughty words, too :)
DeleteI remember really wanting to read this book after the hookers. And you do not disappoint with these hangers. Especially that last one. What a great one!! I'd keep reading for sure.
ReplyDeleteYay! And if you're willing to beta, I'm always looking for people to read ;) Thanks for the compliments!
DeleteThis has me totally intrigued
ReplyDeleteEven though I'm going to get expelled.
What is she going to do!?!?!
He got into a fight at school :)
