Looking for Smoke by K.A. Cobell

1.0

Did Not Finish--13 percent.

I was just lost from the very beginning. The book jumps around too much and then we start reading about an episode (podcast) around the 13 percent mark and I just gave up. I don't know what is happening to who or why, but I think if Cobell had just stayed with one main character I could have gotten into this much faster. It was too hard to figure out who is doing what to whom.

"Looking for Smoke" follows four teens who are central to a murdered girl that is found on a reservation. We start off following a teen named Mara and from there it shifts to the other teens, Brody, Loren, and someone named Eli and then unknown.

As I said, there was way too much happening for me to focus on. I think the teens, with the dates and times included and then the podcast or whatever episode we are getting was way too much. I didn't get to settle into the story at all.
