This book immediately snapped up my attention.
Jubilee Jenkins can't be touched. Jubilee wasn't allergic to the most common things like peanut butter or bee stings or pet dander. Astonishingly she was allergic to other people.
She was diagnosed with type IV contact dermatitis to foreign human skin cells. One time a boy kissed Jubilee and she almost died. Her lips started tingling. Her tongue swelled to fill her mouth. And Jubilees throat closed and she couldn't breathe. Everything went black. For Jubilee it was humiliating enough to pass out just after experiencing her first kiss. But it's even more so when Jubilee found out that boy kissed her for a dare.
The story sucks you in to a point where you really feel sorry for Jubilee Jenkins as at school her desk has to be at least eight feet away from the other pupils in the class room. It must be upsetting for her not being able to mix in with other humans. I recommend Close Enough to Touch because it's quite unlike anything that I have ever read.
