Just the Facts is the story of budding journalist Nora Plowright finding her way as a newspaper reporter in the 1970s.
Honestly, I really struggled getting through this book. If I had simply been reading it for my own reading pleasure, I would have quit. That being said, at about 60% of the way through the book, the story did improve. Overall, I was not able to relate to the main character and I found the writing very choppy. Many times the storyline would veer off in one direction for no real reason or development to the plot. The transitions also seemed jerky or non-existent.
I liked the concept of a book written about journalism in the 1970s and a woman’s role at that time, however Just the Facts did not live up to my expectations.
I received this book from BooksSparks as part of their FRC2015 and She Writes Press through Net Galley in exchange for an honest review.
