    About this audiobook

    "Narrators James Fouhey and Briggon Snow give stellar performances in this quiet YA romance...Both narrators authentically capture the ups and downs of teen romance and keep listeners engaged." -- AudioFile Magazine

    Lauren Shippen's The Infinite Noise is a stunning, original debut based on her wildly popular and award-winning podcast The Bright Sessions.

    Caleb Michaels is a sixteen-year-old champion running back. Other than that his life is pretty normal. But when Caleb starts experiencing mood swings that are out of the ordinary for even a teenager, his life moves beyond “typical.”

    Caleb is an Atypical, an individual with enhanced abilities. Which sounds pretty cool except Caleb's ability is extreme empathy—he feels the emotions of everyone around him. Being an empath in high school would be hard enough, but Caleb's life becomes even more complicated when he keeps getting pulled into the emotional orbit of one of his classmates, Adam. Adam's feelings are big and all-consuming, but they fit together with Caleb's feelings in a way that he can't quite understand.

    Caleb's therapist, Dr. Bright, encourages Caleb to explore this connection by befriending Adam. As he and Adam grow closer, Caleb learns more about his ability, himself, his therapist—who seems to know a lot more than she lets on—and just how dangerous being an Atypical can be.

    “What if the X-Men, instead of becoming superheroes, decided to spend some time in therapy?” (Vox on The Bright Sessions)

      It was an ok book, the ending was kind of disappointing, I feel like it was rushed a bit and did not tie in everything that had happened in the book.

      It was really great to see the things that happened in the podcast through a different lens and having the narrators be the actual voice actors for the characters was just such a fantastic choice! I can imagine it would be really confusing to read this without having listened to the podcast though, especially considering the next book in the series follows a completely different story. Still, a really sweet book and absolutely incredible for anyone who enjoyed The Bright Sessions!

      Beautiful addition to the Bright Sessions universe, this book was joy and sweetness, with a good dose of anxiety for the characters that kept me hooked until the very end. I loved seeing the building of their world outside of Caleb’s sessions with Dr Bright.
