It’s that summer between the end of high school and the start of something else. Dean Stockton and Curt Hutton are best friends, and more often than not you can find them rowing on the Rogue River at dawn.
Together they experience something they will never be able to describe
adequately. But then they won’t really need to. Not to each other. It’s that
moment of swing when rowers find the rhythm and everything falls into place.
The shell seems to lift right out of the water.
Enter Isabelle Smiley. She’s beautiful yet insecure, knowing yet innocent, and
crazy about Curt in a way that no girl has ever been crazy about Dean. She
wants Curt to choose a college closer to home than the one he and Dean have
selected—and she can be persuasive.
“I’d never be able to hold out against a girl like Smiley,” Dean admits.
“Don’t say that,” Curt replies. “I told her she’d have to convince you, too.”
Everyone is conflicted in this story of friendship, lust, and life-changing choices.
Only one thing seems certain to all of them: If Smiley strikes a match, Dean
will catch fire.
Reviews:
"Sharply
drawn and deceptively quiet, Combustible is an excellent novel
that lingers in the mind long after completion. I loved it." - Mark
Richardson, author of The Sun Casts No Shadow.
"Combustible is a wonderful story ... The
author did a great job of bringing each character to life ... I recommend
this book to anyone who is looking for a light read with a satisfying plot and
interesting characters."- Kristi Elizabeth, San Francisco
