The Rules Are Simple!

1. Grab a book
2. Turn to Page 56 in a physical book or 56% in your eReader of choice.
3. Find a line or paragraph that jumps out at you and share!

Today’s Friday 56 is from a paperback I’ll be starting really soon; Lyrics of a Small Town by Abbi Glines has been on my shelf for darn near a year. I love Abbi Glines’ writing style and after reading today’s Friday 56 paragraph, I’m feeling the urge to push everything I’m reading to the backburner! I’m intrigued.

Saul turned his attention back to me and studied me a
moment. I stared directly back at him, not about to let him
know how uncomfortable this was for me. Whatever it was Rio
had to tell me about my gran better be worth this. I had told
myself I would stay clear of Saul and Drake, yet here I was.
“Here,” Rio said and held out his hand toward Saul. Saul
looked down at what Rio was holding then back up at Rio.
“Take it. Pops is already mad enough.”
Saul reached out and took a roll of bills from Rio’s hand.
“Why’d you tell him?” Saul Asked.
Rio Shrugged. “Just did.”

Synopsis:

One last thing, if you do fall in love with him, please go slowly. Be careful. Trust your gut and know not all things are easy. Damaged things can become beautiful if they’re placed in the right hands. –Love, Gran

A small town where pickup trucks rule, the farmer’s market is bigger than the grocery store, and just about everyone goes to church on Sunday is the last place Henley Warren expects to find herself three months after her grandmother’s death. But Gran left a list of things she needed Henley to do after she died, and fulfilling those wishes means spending a summer in the same place her mom fled from when she was only seventeen years old. With each task that is ticked off the list, events are set in motion that uncover secrets surrounding Henley’s life.

Although Henley may have arrived on the shores of Alabama’s Gulf Coast feeling alone and lost in a world without her Gran, things soon change. The small town holds more than she realized- including a broody, gorgeous, potentially dangerous guy who is always showing up when she needs him the most. Henley fears her heart isn’t ready to trust someone so unpredictable but he makes her feel things deeper than she thought possible. So, when Henley discovers the twisted, dark world he is living in, will it be too late to save her heart? Or has her heart been beyond saving from the moment he stepped out of his truck on that very first day?
