Publisher's Summary
"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 16-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)

Best book ever!!!!
I can’t even describe how amazing it is to have been able to listen to what is essentially another instalment of ‘The Bright Sessions’ and to have a more in depth view of how Adam and Caleb’s minds and empathy work was wonderful, Briggon Snow and James Fouhey we’re both fantastic and even though James is new to being Adam I really felt like he nailed the character perfectly. The only thing that would have made this better would be if the other original cast members could play the voices in the audiobook, but that is my ONLY complaint.

Help me
That was the most traumatic yet comforting reading experience I've ever had. It was like a big warm hug and yet THIS is the book that teaches me that reading PTSD is probably a thing! The Audible narration was amazing and really brought it up yet another level. The characters were so real and distinct. I ranted and raved to my dogs at one point during this. I told them "How DARE this fucking author open me up just to rip me asunder like this! If she doesn't fix this I'm rating it low! I do not care how good the writing is!" I was unhappy, my dogs were unhappy, I was way too emotional but I kept reading. I was fully prepared to rate this 2 stars out of spite! But you nursed the reader and the characters back to a sane, loving, rational hug . So good for you, you get 5 stars for putting one of the most brilliantly written books in my collection, breaking me down and remaking me, and teaching me what good writing can do. Just don't ever do that again, OK?
But as you're probably going to do it again, I'll be back for the next damn book! D<
