As a companion novel de The Bright Sessions podcast, delving into the Caleb and Adam's relationship, I loved this book.
I loved the boys in TBS and seeing how their relationship developed in much more detail was wonderful.

I have to say this: If I were reading this without knowing the podcast, I'd be lost. I'd find that some Atypical / Bright Sessions things needed to be developed a lot more.
Either Lauren expects readers to know about TBS already, or she didn't know how to include so much info in a novel that clearly isn't about Dr Bright and her patients. And that's understable.
This book is about Caleb. Him dealing with his ability but mostly his relationship with that sweet boy he can't help but want to be around. All the time.
But since Caleb's character exists in a complexe world, either you need to listen to the podcast to understand all of it, or you'll have to accept that you'll have things thrown at you without much explanation.
Either way, please listen to The Bright Sessions because IT'S INCREDIBLY GOOD. And then come back to The Infinite Noise to delve more into these boys' story cause they deserve the world.
