Teaser Tuesday

Teaser Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted by MizB at 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!

This week's teaser comes from After Birth by Elisa Albert. I just finished this book, but there were so many quotes I highlighted in my Kindle that I had to share some of them with you. I received an ARC of this book from NetGalley. The publication date is scheduled for February 17, 2015 so I will be posting my review a little bit closer to the publication date. But I will say that I thought this was a great book!

"Why doesn't anybody talk about this? I mean, how stupid do you have to be to worry about strangers seeing your tits in the wake of this?"

"A baby opens you up, is the problem. No way around it unless you want to pay someone else to have it for you. There's before and there's after. To live in your body before is one thing. To live in your body after is another."

"It's like my heart's being ripped out of my chest, and I'm supposed to walk away like no biggie. I hide on the other side of the door for two minutes until his wailing abates, then slink off like a criminal. Nausea, regret, darkness, light, relief, freedom, joy, ache, guilt, confusion, elation: all equal measure, like your first orgasm. When I am with my precious peanut, I itch to hand him over; when I hand him over, I itch to take him back and never let him go."

Do these teasers make you want to read more?
