I liked the story good enough. It just took me quite a while to get into this one. Once I got about half-way through the story I was attached and it went really fast. But getting to that I dont want to put this one down point took a while.

The premise of the story is pretty neat. Jenny has a Midas Touch of sorts, only its in reverse. Shes shunned by her father and by her peers. If life isnt hard enough for a teenager already poor Jennys been dealt the worst hand of all. I really felt so sorry for her. I just wanted her to not be ostracized. All any girl wants is to find that place where she fits in. Jenny knows that shes not normal, but shes learned how to live with the hand life has dealt her. Shes just biding her time until she can live out her life without the eyes of the town watching her.

As the story progresses and Jenny finds someone that she can actually touch I really wanted this to be the end to all of Jennys problems. Ashleigh was such a horrible person and I really wanted to see her get what should have been coming to her. I wished from the first encounters with Ashleigh that Jenny would just have touched her and removed that thorn from her side. Seth seemed to sway back and fourth, sometimes I really wanted to hate him and other times I wanted to hug him. When its revealed what is causing Seths mood swings I couldnt wait to see how it was taken care of.

The end of the story was really good. It wasnt a cheesy ending, and it tied things up nicely. I was very happy with it. It was an enjoyable book to read and I connected with the story after a while.
