This is the first book that I have read by Fern Michaels. I have seen her books and have thought about reading them. Since I had one this one in LT Earlyreviewers program I was finally getting a chance to read one of her books.
Breaking News in number 5 in the Godmothers series. I have never read any of the previous ones and I was still able to follow along with the characters, and story. The beginning of the book was slow because you are introduced to the main characters and start to get a feel for the relationship between all of them.
The main characters are all 'Seasoned' adults. You have Toots, Bernice, Mavis, Ida and Sophia. You also have Abby who is Toots daughter and Chris who is Toots stepson and a friend of Abby's and becomes more as the story progresses.
Abby is editor in chief of a tabloid magazine that is owned by her mother. Her mother bought the magazine for a steal and also because it is her daughter's dream job.
Breaking News has a bit of everything. I found myself laughing out loud at some of the comments the characters made. Toots is a multimillionaire, Ida is an entrepreneur of cosmetics, Mavis makes dead people look good, Sophie is a smart ass. Bernice is the housekeeper who is loved by all.
This is a very fast and entertaining read and will be looking for the previous ones to play catch up. So if you are looking for a fast, light read then grab Breaking News and sit back and enjoy!

I received this book through the LibraryThing Early Reviewer program, and picked it up and put it down at least a dozen times, and just haven't been able to get into it. It seems like a good story idea, but I just couldn't find my way past the second chapter.

A fun chick lit book that I found very funny at times. Good book to escape the monotony of the long winter months. Cute story. Love the bonds and frienships of all the women.
