Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of 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 I am reading this memoir "Freeways to Flip-Flops" by Sonia Marsh and her suburban family as they discover that trading materialism for a simple life on a tropical island helps them reconnect in unexpected ways.
"Duke, we can't take the boat out. It's too dangerous," I said, my entire body quivering with fear. I tugged on the lines, squatting and leaning back, fighting the undertow so intent on snatching our boat from the dock. (pg. 1)
There are days when I would love to live on a tropical island!
