“Don’t touch” was the debut novel of Rachel M. Wilson. This book was one of those books you plan to read as they come out, but you keep putting down, a contemporary novel that deals with mental illness and how to cope with it and society.

Caddie has promise to herself that if she won’t touch anyone everything will go back to normal. However, she has to find a way to keep this promise in her new school, meeting new people, making new friends and keeping a normal life. Would she be able to keep with it and get the leading role in her new school play?

“Don’t touch” was a really interesting contemporary book. I really liked how the book dealt with a problem like OCD and anxiety. In my opinion, it was really well written and noticeable that the author did dealt with some of the issues herself. The plot was not really original, because it was just another teenage love story. However, the fact that she is unable to touch anyone makes the typical contemporary really different. I also like how the main character felt embarrassed because she is keeping a secret, nonetheless at the same time she cannot keep herself from not touching people.

“Don’t touch” was a fantastic contemporary book. A book that gives a voice to those kids suffering from a mental condition. I would definitely recommend this novel to anyone wiling to read books with someone different on them.
