Rubbernecker, by Belinda Bauer (Atlantic Monthly Press, August 2015). This is the book's first sentence:
Dying is not as easy as it looks in the movies.
Initial Thoughts:
Well, I think that's a pretty good beginning. And quite true. But then, nothing is as easy as it looks in the movies.
I received an ARC of this one, earlier this year -- but it got lost on my Kindle. (!!!???) So I'm just now starting it. Extremely embarrassing. Hoping it's a quick read!

Rose City Reader hosts Book Beginnings on Fridays. As she says, the idea is to post the first sentence (or so) of the book you're currently reading, along with any first impressions or thoughts you have about the book, the author, etc. It's a wonderful way of adding new books to your must-read list, and a chance to connect with other readers and bloggers.
Very promising opening! I hope you like it. :)

I think that is a great opening line, too.

What an unusual opening! It seems like it would be an ending instead of a beginning. I'm definitely curious about this book.
