It’s ok. Like a medium range fanfiction.
I think it might give a sense of hopelessness/hopefulness(in a bad sense) to people experiencing depression, especially teenagers, where they would expect only someone with extraordinary powers like empath, Caleb in this story, understand them fully and accept the way they are. It could possibly make them turn down professional help, leading to serious and life endangering situations in the future.
Overall, not my favourite, as an influential YA novel.

A very enjoyable secondary perspective to the podcast, but I'm uncertain if I could have enjoyed it as much without having the greater context of the story.

i just finished the infinite noise by lauren shippen!!
okay - i DEVOURED this book. in like four days.
it’s the first book i’ve read in MONTHS. an english literature degree and writing as a full-time job really burns you out, huh? but, i did it! my first book of 2023.
i don’t know what it is about romance but it always keeps me reading OMG. was this the best book i’ve ever read? no! do i love the characters? yes.
i’m a big fan of the bright sessions podcast - so this was a no brainer for my reading list. i thought it would be interesting to see a stand-alone of caleb and adam’s blossoming relationship. and it was! so cuteeee :3
lauren fleshed out adam really well; caleb translated OK to novel. it was very annoying/same-y how many times he saved someone from a school bully. i didn’t count…
but, surely, it’s more than ten?
nevertheless, i felt very immersed in their lives.
i need to finish the podcast tho… it’s on my list :’)
4/5

I loved the Bright Sessions audio drama podcast and this book was such a lovely deeper look into Caleb and Adam during it!! I love these characters.

This was such a dissapointment. The first half of the book was excellent, but after that it just kept dragging on and on. Such a shame, because I was really enjoying the beginning. 2.5 stars.
