Holly (hollypickett7) | 27 comments I saw this book on my library's ebook Site. I hadn't checked reviews and if I had, I wouldn't have read it.

Touch is essentially about 4 ninth graders and an incident on the back of the school bus

The main character is best friends with 3 boys since toddler hood. Seemingly innocent until she leaves for a year to stay with her real mom because she has problems with her step mom. While she us away she huts puberty hard core and blossoms woth massive breasts. When she returns home, her best friends take notice to get new girlish figure.

Fast forward, she rides the bus with get friends. She only sits with one of them, eventually a relationship starts. They make out on the bus everyday. Eventually leads to him touching her breasts. He tells their other friends and now they want to do it to. She let's them but didn't like it. Another bus rider saw it happen and told the principal. The main girl lies says one guy held her hand while they took turns.

I'm the end there are 4 different stories about what happened. None of them are true. Truth comes out in the end after attempted lawsuits.

It was a mess. I didn't like the story at all. Reminds me of a Lifetime movie I watched once. I gave it 1 star. The story was hard to get into. The author went into too much side Story about the step mom. Took away from the plot a lot

I am always proud of people when they can get through a book that they want to quit or wish that they hadn't read. I usually quit a book if I don't like it or it bores me. Great job Holly on finishing!
