Eva Walker is a seventeen-year-old math genius. And if that doesn't do wonders for her popularity, there's another thing that makes it even worse: when she touches another person or anything that belongs to them — from clothes to textbooks to cell phones — she sees a vision of their emotions. She can read a person's fears and anxieties, their secrets and loves … and what they have yet to learn about calculus. This is helpful for her work as a math tutor, but it means she can never get close to people. Eva avoids touching anyone and everyone. People think it's because she's a clean freak — with the emphasis on freak — but it's all she can do to protect herself from other people's issues.
Then one day a new student walks into Eva's life. His jacket gives off so much emotional trauma that she falls to the floor. Eva is instantly drawn to Zenn, a handsome and soulful artist who also has a troubled home life, and her feelings only grow when she realizes that she can touch Zenn's skin without having visions. But when she discovers the history that links them, the truth threatens to tear the two apart.
My Review:
I enjoyed reading this book! I wasn't sure what it was going to be, what with Eva's ability, but I really enjoyed going on this journey with Eva and Zenn! They both had scars, they both grew up without at least one biological parent. They also are both hard workers, and both pretty smart, and they were a really good couple!
This is a story of these two meeting and falling in love. There were some cute and funny moments, like with the church's van that he painted, some awkward moments like when he met her family. I really enjoyed reading about their journey!
The history that links them, that could tear them apart, yeah, it's personal for both of them. And we slowly get hints of what it is, but when it all comes out, it's still pretty shocking. Given that the reveal is only one sided, it does add complications until they both know. Yeah.
I really enjoyed that ending, with that article about the two of them, and what they were looking forward to in the future, and the story about the money that they'd both turned down, so the other could have it. Yeah. So sweet!
This book was really nice and sweet and I really enjoyed reading it!
