What if the X-Men spent a little less time saving the world and a little more time in therapy? That’s the general premise of this novel based on Lauren Shippen’s award-winning podcast, The Bright Sessions. Caleb is an Atypical, a person with powers. That might be pretty cool, except his extreme empathy means he feels the emotions of everyone around him. And when he starts feeling mood swings way out of the norm for even a typical teenager, he’s drawn into the orbit of Adam, a classmate who’s feelings may line up a little too closely to his own.
