Jubilee has an allergy to humans. Eric is trying to mend relationships with his teenage daughter and his adopted 10 year old son. Jubilee, for 9 years, has never left her home which has turned her agoraphobic. But when her distant mother dies and her monthly stipend stops, she must go out to find a job. So, she runs into an old high school "friend" who finds her a position at the library. All is somewhat well until Eric walks in with Aja, his adopted son from his deceased best friend. And a relationship ensues- but doesn't because Jubilee can't touch anyone.
Some plots tend to overextend themselves with too many social issues. This one, however, is not in that camp. There were constant issues arising such as a son who won't talk to his father, or a young woman who is still trying to get over a high school incident that put her on the track to agoraphobia. But it's real life. Issues often don't come in compartments, but happen simultaneously that permeate throughout all parts of our lives. This book was great to capture these daily occurrences without sounding contrived.
