My Teaser this week is from After I Left You by Alison Mercer
Anna hasn’t been back to Oxford since her last summer at university, seventeen years ago. She tries not to think about her time there, or the tightly knit group of friends she once thought would be hers forever. She has almost forgotten the sting of betrayal, the heartache, the secret she carries around with her, the last night she spent with them all.
Then a chance meeting on a rainy day in London brings her past tumbling back into her present, and Anna is faced with the memories of that summer and the people she left behind. As Anna realises that the events of their past have shaped the people they’ve all become, hope begins to blossom for what her future could hold. Amazon
My Teaser
‘He was a despicable, self-serving, ruthless, idle little shit with a lot of very nasty friends, and you’re infinitely better off without him, believe me,’ Gareth went on. He straightened up and folded his arms,’ go on then, ask me. Say it “I want to know who my father is.”
Please share your Teaser Tuesday post with me in the comments below.
Your pretty face is pink with cold , and a shawl of winter mink is thrown over your robe. You bow deep and low.

The intro and the teaser definitely hooked me! They reminded me a little of Christopher Yates’ Black Chalk…about a group of University friends who betray each other.
