Book Beginnings on Fridays/The Friday 56 - June 12th

This week I'm joining in Book Beginnings on Friday. It's hosted by Rose City Reader.  This is where we post the beginning of the books we are reading or will be reading.  

I'm also joining in for the Friday 56.  

Freda at Freda's Voice started and hosted The Friday 56 for a long, long time. She is taking a break and Anne at My Head if Full of Books has taken on hosting duties in her absence. Please visit Anne's blog and link to your Friday 56 post.


Rules:
*Grab a book, any book.
*Turn to page 56 or 56% in your eReader.
*Find any sentence that grabs you.
*Post it.
*Link it here.

It's that simple.

I've only read one book in this series and I've been wanting to catch up.  I saw this novella and decided to read it.  I still have to catch up on the rest of the series.

Book Beginnings...

"Cut! Cut!" the director Raymond Reynolds yelled.  He was a tall, loose-jointed man, who braided his hair into a ponytail at the back of his head. Before meeting him, I didn't think I had ever seen a man with a braid before, and I couldn't stop staring at it. I my community only little girls braided their hair, never grown women and certainly never men folk.

Since this is a novella, I'm just using a sentence from the first chapter instead of going to 56%. I don't want to give away any spoilers.

Cass had made a big deal out of my coming to New York City because it was my very first time.

Synopsis from Goodreads:

A taste for trouble . . .  As if being in New York City for Easter isn’t exciting enough, Charlotte Weaver has another reason to be thrilled. She’s helping her cousin, Bailey, on the set of her first cable TV show, Bailey’s Amish Sweets. Bailey will even be re-creating the delectable hand-woven chocolate Easter baskets she once crafted for the city’s world-famous JP Chocolates. But once things start rolling, Charlotte starts to notice odd things happening—things that seem intended to make Bailey look bad . . .With Bailey feeling extra nervous about being on camera, Charlotte decides to keep her suspicion of sabotage to herself. But she knows that among Bailey’s fans at the Gourmet Television network lurks a dangerously jealous rival. Now Charlotte will have to find out who that person is—before sour grapes turns one of the sweetest times of the year fatally bitter
