This was an unusual and interesting story about synesthesia.
Alice is eight years old when she notices that everyone has colours emanating from them. She doesn't like seeing the brightness of the colours or having people touch her in case their colours leak into her, resulting in her always wearing sunglasses and gloves.
Alice has to come to terms with her ability to read people and how it affects her experiences of the world around her if she is to live a fulfilling life.
