The book I'm currently reading is known as 'The Dream Keepers.
The first sentence is as follows:
'The girl is floating inside a huge ballroom. Suspended and whirling,
she moves in the center of an expanding universe.'
“It just hurts too much to admit what is wanted so badly when there’s no guarantee of its availability.”

This was a really great political suspense thriller by the way.

"In the car, Aidan pauses before turning the key in the ignition, and for a brief second, Clare lets herself imagine that they're on their way out to dinner or a movie, or anywhere, really, even just the kind of aimless, purposeless drive that's been the only thing on the agenda so many times before." This long first sentence is from Hello, Goodbye and Everything in Between by Jennifer E. Smith.
