The first line didn't hook me, because picking up a book is generally a bigger effort than opening a page and looking at the first line.
This idea of "what makes a great opening line" is simply, to be simple to understand for me. You need to lead in to the next line and the next. The wandering text that was the first line of "We Love You Crispina" caused me to skip it. Once I reconsidered that it might have something important in it, I had to force myself to go back and re-read it. Multiple times. I am not going to remember that book.
