Description: When Naomi Jensen is kidnapped, it takes
her parents two days to realize she’s missing. Escape isn’t high on her list of
priorities when all she has to return to is an abusive boyfriend and parents
who never paid much attention to her. For the first time in her life she’s part
of a family—even if it is a family of criminals. But she’s still a captive. In
a desperate attempt to regain some control in her life, Naomi embarks on a
dangerous plan to make one of her kidnappers think she’s falling in love with
him. The plan works too well, and when faced with the chance to escape, Naomi
isn’t sure she wants to take it.
Review: Michelle
Davidson Argyle’s The Breakaway is a
powerful and emotionally charged novel of a kidnapped victim struggling to find
herself.
Naomi Jensen
just wanted to take photographs of the fog, but when she is kidnapped by jewel thieves,
nothing will be the same. As she leans on her weakness to survive, she learns
to trust her new family in ways she never imagined, but escape still beckons.
She must decide whether to find the strength to break out from her prison or to
be content with her kidnappers.
The Breakaway stirs so many emotions. Naomi is unlike
any main character I’ve read. She’s a quiet, weak young woman, but Argyle peels
apart the layers to show Naomi’s inner strength. Half the time I was begging
Naomi to do something, to flee, and the other half, I wanted her to remain with
her kidnappers and have a happy life with them. It’s these conflicting
characteristics that reveal the brilliancy of this novel. The reader becomes
invested in the plot and all the characters as we learn more about them and who
they are. Argyle’s writing style is also beautiful and lyrical. Sometimes the
descriptions are breathtakingly wonderful that I would read them again.
Prepare for The Breakaway by Michelle Davidson
Argyle to kidnap you into its gut-wrenching world.
