The Breakaway-By: Michelle Davidson Argyle
The Breakaway talks about Naomi Jensen and her kidnapping. It starts off with Naomi waking up in a motel unsure of what happened to her and upon seeing strange men realizes she was kidnapped. This book talks about her journey of being kidnapped, to escaping, to her past life, to her new life and her emotions.
Naomi isn't too eager to escape as what is left behind her is an abusive boyfriend and parents that don't care about her. It took her parents 2DAYS to realize their daughter was missing (talk about loving!) So when she gets kidnapped and starts having a family relationship with her kidnappers is isn't sure she wants to go home anymore.
Naomi even devises a plan to make one of her captors fall in love with her so she can try to escape. However the plan works too well and as she ends up falling in love with one of her captors and which further makes her not want to go home at all.
The books shows the change in Naomi (it takes a long time to see this change) but it also shows the parents side as well. Maybe her parents not caring was intact a misunderstanding?
So guys The Breakaway is 441 pages long. And well guys i sort of like/disliked it. I don't want to ruin anything, but Naomi isn't my favorite heroine of all time, she was decent but that was it. I felt the book repeated itself too much at times. And it was slow paced (like extremely slow paced.)
It just wasn't my cup of tea. I read it liking the relationships and wanting to know whats going to happen to Naomi. The events aren't predictable i tell you i kept reading just to know what happens to her and her relationship with the captor.
Would i recommend people to read it? Yeah i think its a good read but not the best.
So all in all I give The Breakaway 3 stars.
P.S There is a sequel to this book but i don't think i'll be picking it up. Its called Pieces for anyone that does want to continue it further. But i felt there was no need for it, i wasn't curious to know what happens next.
