Just Shelby (2020)
Brooklyn James not only challenges herself as a storyteller in her newest release, Just Shelb y (2020), but she challenges her readers with a writing style that reveals a mysterious plot of whodunnit at the end. Just Shelby may not be everyone’s flavor of a read in 2020 while we’re pausing in the quarantine life as it is a slower read told with dual perspectives; however, slow doesn’t equate to poor art; it’s a matter of taste and delight. The hurry-up-and-get-there type may be looking for a whodunnit murder mystery to be upfront in your face with a character reveal like Game of Thrones (2011-2019) with relentless jousting and jolting with no hesitation to kill the main character in Act 1 Scene 1 of an Emmy Award-Winning television series. Just Shelby is more like the Emmy Award-Winning television series, Breaking Bad (2008-2013), taking a slower pace to really nail down the details that it might take a reader more than a minute to gain momentum in the storyline
