Welcome to The Friday 56 hosted by Freda’s Voice.
This is a really fun meme!
The only rules are to grab a book (any book), turn to page 56 or 56% in your eReader and find a sentence or a few (no spoilers) that grabs you and post it.
Then go over to Freda’s Voice and leave your link so we can visit your 56!
My 56 for this week is from:
One Summer …… at Charlie’s Diner
Baker Girl Series #1
by Mary Jane Forbes
Genre: Cozy Mystery
From 56% in the eBook.
The canines, Peaches and Maggie, sat on the wrap-around porch by the back door, tails sweeping the leaves away as the master of the house hauled in the grocery bags.
“Yeah, yeah, I see you. Come on girls, Mama says to give you a biscuit. Don’t know why, you just had breakfast.”

Synopsis
Star Bloom is devastated—fired on a phony sexual harassment charge from her pastry chef job at a five-star restaurant. Seeing a help wanted sign in a window, she applies for the job as a waitress at the little diner near the Daytona Beach boardwalk.
Tyler Jackman, a wannabe cartoonist, works at the diner as a waiter. He falls for the pretty blonde, coming to her rescue time and time again. But Star doesn’t see him as anything more than a new friend.
Star is drawn to Ash, a handsome mystery man who frequents the diner. He begins to meet her after work, walks her home, and they share coffee on the beach. A summer romance?
The three lives intertwine as they strive to make their dreams come true. Will love, jealousy, friendship help or hinder their struggles?

Thanks so much for visiting fuonlyknew!
You can find a list of my reviews HERE.
Hehe! That’s because they are always hungry! Hope you enjoy this one!
I know! If I even step towards the kitchen my dog is on my heels. He can be sound asleep and then there he is. LOL
I love both covers, but especially the first one. Plus, you had me at diner. I’m feeling nostalgic now.
Great beginning, too; very cute. Thanks for sharing, and for visiting my blog.
I just love that old juke box. I have one similar but it’s not quite that large. I remember those diners where each booth had one of those old jukes and you flipped the pages and punched in your song selections. I feel that nostalgia too!
LOL I would give ’em a biscuit too… 🙂 Sounds like a good book. Happy Canada day weekend, and happy early Independence day!
My dog, Quigley, had our number. He mooches treats from my son while I’m at work, and then hits me up when I get home. LOL Happy holiday to you too, Freda:)
the second one is so gorgeous
I like how colorful it is. Reminds me of the Coney Island diners I used to go to a long time ago. Wish there were more like those now.
This sounds great! I like the second cover, but they’re both good. Hope you have an awesome weekend! 🙂
I like both too and it’s hard to choose a favorite. Both are so….cozy:)
This one I will definitely have to add to my to-read list.
Already got it on mine:)
HI!! I do love the American theme!! The top pic’s best for me. Have a lovely weekend. 😀

I’m hard pressed to pick a favorite. And thanks, I grabbed that adorable freebie!
I kind of like the 2nd picture best but both are pretty great. This sounds like a fun read!
I know. It’s hard to choose between them!
This sounds really good. Both covers are nice, but I like the second one best. Have a great weekend!
I’m still looking at both and torn between each cover:)
Ah yes, we dog owners love our dogs through food. Hope you enjoy your weekend!
Makes me wonder how they aren’t all overweight. LOL
Sounds like a series with lots of promise.
It sure does.
Happy Reading!
Thanks. I’m enjoying it so far:)
Sounds like a good read!
Happy weekend!

I’m not as regular with it as I used to be. Summer is so busy.
I like the first cover. Sounds great – thanks for sharing.
It’s hard for me to choose but I lean towards the first as that is the one I have:)
I love the cover! I love old diners. 💜
We used to have some good ones back in the day!
Looks like a great pick for this time of year. 🙂
