This book I read on my kobo on a very long drive, where all you could see was the sky and barren snow covered land. Burning offers a glimpse into the gypsy life, which I enjoyed because I think we all have ideas about gypsies after watching gypsy sisters on tlc. But in all honesty this was not my book, this wasn't on I couldn't put down, I didn't enjoy this very much but it wasn't the worst book I ever read that is still James and the giant peach. This description is from goodreads.
Ben: Having just graduated from high school, Ben is set to leave Gypsum, Nevada. It's good timing since the gypsum mine that is the lifeblood of the area is closing, shutting the whole town down with it. Ben is lucky: he's headed to San Diego, where he's got a track scholarship at the University of California. But his best friends, Pete and Hog Boy, don't have college to look forward to, so to make them happy, Ben goes with them to check out the hot chick parked on the side of Highway 447.
Lala: She and her Gypsy family earn money by telling fortunes. Some customers choose Tarot cards; others have their palms read. The thousands of people attending the nearby Burning Man festival spend lots of cash--especially as Lala gives uncanny readings. But lately Lala's been questioning whether there might be more to life than her upcoming arranged marriage. And the day she reads Ben's cards is the day that everything changes for her. . . and for him
I don't have much to say about this book, first off I had no clue whole towns could be shutdown so I learned something well reading this. But Lala pissed me off at the end like WTF you used Ben so much, if you didn't like the gyspy world then you could have left you didn't need to pull him in like that. My favorite character was probably James or Pete. That's all I can say because this book was a serious left down. I give it 2.5 stars out of 5
