I just couldn’t understand anything that was happening in this book. A lot of it passed quickly, and I didn’t really form any connection to what was happening.

The plot is not even made quite clear, as to what they are looking at. And takes far too long to actually make me care about it. Something happened, and the story was just way too vague for my liking.

And none of the characters really made any sense to me. Their names were a little ridiculous, but their background was confusing. And nothing was done to really distinguish them well, and set them apart. And at the end, I simply wondered who was who.

So, can’t recommend as I couldn’t even tell the characters apart. The story was never made clear about what it was.

Dodging and Burning is several types of books wrapped into one. It's a pulp detective, coming of age, historical fiction, modern mystery all at the same time. 

One summer, the lives of Bunny and Ceole were changed. Jay Greenwood changed both of their lives, and brought them into a world that neither imagined. This is a book that deals with loss, guilt and unraveling of who a person truly is. 

It's a lonely book. Everyone has their own secrets. 

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the opportunity to read and review this novel.
