Hi everyone, I am new to the site. I am trying to find the name of a book that I can neither recall name or author. Is there a place I can ask for help?

Hi! I’m a newbie looking for a contemporary book about a young Black woman looking for a job. She goes to a casting call at a restaurant (don’t remember if she knew it was casting call) she gets the lead. The show is a reality show set in the 1950s or 1960s and the story ends up changing from original plan because the cast reacts to her being Black. They never break character and she is a housewife who calls her family for cooking help so they become characters. It’s kinda like Truman Show meets the civil rights inequalities in 2000 IRL, but the show remains in the past. I hope this description is making sense; please help me find this book. Thank you!

And they did finally post in the correct group, but obviously again didn’t bother to read directions.

Calm down, someone was nice enough to send me how to instead of complaining in a group that I otherwise would likely never see

>8 blkbutterfli: So you put your question here and everywhere without ever planning to come back?

This is a topic you posted in, in a group that you posted in again, and again, and...

>8 blkbutterfli: The appropriate response would have been 'Sorry people, I know better now'. It's the most basic of forum etiquette's not to flood them by cross-posting in a gazillion places with no rhyme or reason.

Hi everyone.

I joined this group today and found it to be quite useful. Few years ago I had an account on Shelfari but now it has been shut down. So I am trying to recall the names of the books I read in the past and adding it up here as a collection.
