Book Beginnings + Friday 56: Molly (Sewing in SoCal #1) by Sarah Monzon

Book Beginnings is a weekly meme hosted by Rose City Reader that asks you to share the first sentence (or so) of the book you're reading. Friday 56 is hosted by Freda's Voice and asks you to grab a book (any book), turn to page 56 or 56% in your ereader and share a non-spoilery sentence or two.

This week I'm featuring a cute romantic comedy, Molly (Sewing in SoCal #1) by Sarah Monzon.

About the Book

If there’s one thing you should know about me, it’s that I absolutely refuse to tell a lie no matter the consequences. So don’t ask me a direct question unless you’re prepared for a direct answer—that’s something my SoCal sewing girlfriends have learned the hard way.

But who would have thought my honesty policy would get me fired from my job at the preschool? Or that a desperate—and not to mention devastatingly handsome—single father of one of my (now-former) students would hire me that same day as a nanny for his daughter?

I’m an education professional. How hard can taking care of a four-year-old and her over-stressed, over-worked father be?

Just call me George Washington.

Friday 56

Wakefulness gradually settled upon me like an optometrist settling a pair of glasses on the visually impaired. My hazy brainwaves came into focus and I reached for my real glasses on the nightstand. Pushing them onto the bridge of my nose, I blinked my eyes.

And swallowed a scream.
