Well Scottie has gone and got herself into trouble yet
again. Picking up several months after the novella Merry Mary left off, the
photojournalist is now covering the election. It was nice to be reunited with
the characters that readers were briefly introduced to before. I enjoyed
getting to know more about Scottie, her brother Will and her loving parents.
This full length book allowed me to get a better
understanding of Ashley Farley’s writing style. She was really able to go into
detail with her characters, the setting and the story.
Breaking the Story
is a contemporary political suspense with some romance thrown in for good
measure. As someone who doesn’t care much for politics I was worried that this
would overshadow and dominate the story. However the face pace plotline and
sexual tension between Scottie and Guy made for an enjoyable reading
experience. In fact I couldn't put it down.
Scottie is put into a situation where she has to decide
between getting her big break as a photojournalist or possibly ruining the
lives of many people. This brings up a good question to readers about what they
would do in a situation like this. Would you compromise your own integrity if
it meant furthering their career?
I would recommend Ashley Farley’s Breaking the Story to other fans of contemporary fiction. I look
forward to reading more from this author and hope for more featuring the
characters in this book.
