10 of Our Favorite (Spoiler-Free!) Last Lines

We might not all judge books by their covers, but we definitely judge them by their first sentences. When your to-be-read stack is taller than you, you’re bound to put down a novel pretty quickly if you aren’t sucked in by the opening pages.
But what about last lines? If you’re a weirdo like me who likes to flip to the end of a book before you commit to it, the last sentence of a story can be just as important as the first. And even if you’re a reader who doesn’t like to experience the ending until you’ve read your way there, a striking last line can create a feels-fest in your heart that will leave you with a book hangover for weeks. So in honor of both types of people, here are ten (spoiler-free!) last lines that will entice you to either begin these stories for the first time or read them again.
