Another first line I'm quite in love with is the first line of The Raven Boys by Maggie Stiefvater: Blue Sargent had forgotten how many times she'd been told that ...

"I'm not really sure. I think that maybe, assuming that 'definitely forgive you' means that I wouldn't have to be dealing with any smart-a*** comments from this person when I ...
