Close Enough to Touch: A Novel

Close Enough to Touch: A Novel

Can you miss something you never had?

Jubilee Jenkins is no ordinary librarian. With a rare allergy to human touch, any skin-to-skin contact could literally kill her. But after retreating into solitude for nearly ten years, Jubileeâ€™s decided to brave the world again, despite the risks. Armed with a pair of gloves, long sleeves, and her trusty bicycle, she finally ventures out the front doorâ€”and into her future.

Eric Keegan has troubles of his own. With his daughter from a failed marriage no longer speaking to him, and his brilliant, if psychologically troubled, adopted son attempting telekinesis, Ericâ€™s struggling to figure out how his life got so off course, and how to be the dadâ€”and manâ€”he wants so desperately to be. So when an encounter over the check-out desk at the local library entangles his life with that of a beautifulâ€”albeit eccentricâ€”woman, he finds himself wanting nothing more than to be near her.

A â€œheart-wrenching and humorousâ€ (Publishers Weekly) love story for anyone whoâ€™s ever wanted somethingâ€”or someoneâ€”just out of reach, Colleen Oakleyâ€™s Close Enough to Touch will delight fans of Jojo Moyesâ€™s One Plus One and Graeme Simsionâ€™s The Rosie Project.
