The friends take on a deceptively simple challenge: guess the book from its very first line. It sounds easy… until it isn’t. In this episode, Reggie, Kennedy, and Mikayla read famous opening lines from books they have collectively read to see if they can name the book before the clues run out. Some are instantly recognizable, others send them spiraling into wild guesses and questionable logic. Play along and see how many you can get before they do! Expect iconic openings, terrible guesses, and the occasional moment where someone actually knows the answer. Follow us on TikTok! Follow us on Instagram!
