Zenn Diagram

Zenn Diagram

by Wendy Brant

Eva Walker has gone through life not touching people. Literally and figuratively. When Eva touches people in the literal sense, she can see "fractals" or geometric images and colors that make up their lives. This means Eva refuses to touch people figuratively so she doesn't have to take the chance of touching them literally.

Then she meets Zenn.

His jacket tells one story but his touch tells something else and that something else is what attracts Eva to him. 

They start off slowly but things speed up when they find out a secret neither even dreamed possible. Will that secret keep them apart or bring them together?

Final thoughts: There is literally no plot here. Nothing. It's a few months in the lives of a couple of teens. The whole supernatural fractals issue isn't really even effective here. There's no reason for it to exist except as an excuse for Eva (Eh-vah, not Ee-vah) to be a loner. People can be introverted and alone without some weird touch sensitivity to cause it. The story is slow and doesn't pick up at all until over halfway through. The characters don't really have any characteristics to make them matter. It's a slow plod with no point and the epilogue is just strange and completely out of place. Bland, dull, and pointless.
