Friday Focus: The Friday 56 & Book Beginnings #72

It's Friday . . . time to share excerpts from one of my current reads with:

• Book Beginnings on Fridays hosted by Rose City Reader, where bloggers share the first sentence or more of a current read, as well as initial thoughts about the sentence(s), impressions of the book, or anything else that the opening inspires.  
• The Friday 56 hosted by Freda's Voice, where you grab a book and turn to page 56 (or 56% of an ebook), find one or more interesting sentences (no spoilers), and post them.

Today I'm featuring:

 

   

Kentucky Home by Sarah Title

This is the first book in the warm and witty Southern Comfort series.  The author of this debut novel is a librarian with the perfect last name for the profession.

Beginning: 

Prologue

Luke Carson sat in a chair on the fire escape outside of his DC apartment window, his feet resting on the railing. He tilted the chair back, breathing in the humid summer night.  It wasn't much of a porch, and it wasn't much of a view over the edge of the building next door, but he needed some fresh air.  He cracked his beer open and thought it might be time to move on again.

Page 56 (of e-book):  "Katie looked at her brother like he'd suggested she give up one of her kidneys.  Or wear a dress and heels."
