Friday 56 is hoste
d at Freda's Voice and Book Beginnings is hosted by Rose City Reader. The idea is to share a sentence or so from the first page and the 56th page of the book you are currently reading! Also, I will now also include a brief synopsis.
When Lila Moore inherits her grandfather's house, she finds herself in a small Midwestern town where margarine is never an acceptable substitution for butter, a coveted family recipe can serve as currency, and the friend who will take your darkest secrets to the grave will still never give you the secret to her prize-winning begonias.
Lila is charmed by the people of Auburn, from the blue-eyed lawyer with the southern drawl to the little old lady who unceasingly tries to set Lila up with her grandson. But when strange things begin to happen, Lila realizes some of her new friends are guarding a secret like it's a precious family heirloom. It's a dangerous secret, and it has come back to haunt them. Lila is caught in the middle, and her life may depend on uncovering it. But even if she can, can she stay in Auburn when not everyone is what they seem, and even the house wants her gone?
Book Beginnings
share the first sentence (or so) of the book you are reading, along with your initial thoughts about the sentence, impressions of the book, or anything else the opener inspires. Please remember to include the title of the book and the author’s name.
Chapter 1
Lila watched them standing alongside the casket, five women in their Sunday best, forming a wall you couldn't drive a Dodge Ram through.

Thr humor drained from his face and he sounded more genuine than he had all weekend
Sounds like a good one. I added you to the linky. Happy weekend, stay safe!
ReplyDeleteIt's kind of a slow. but comfortable read. It has a cozy mystery feel. I should be be done with the book, but it isn't pulling me in as much as it should. Plus with all that is going on right now in the world the news is a big distraction.
DeleteFunny opening line. My quotes and review
ReplyDeleteI like the trope of small town people hiding dark secrets. This book sounds intriguing!
