Even her carefully constructed dreamworld isn’t safe.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is the story of Atypical Rose, who discovers that your dreams coming true isn’t always a good thing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eReview(s):\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePraise for the Bright Sessions Universe\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“A gripping character drama with blockbuster-worthy plot twists.”   —\u003ci\u003eThe New York Times\u003c\/i\u003e on \u003ci\u003eThe Bright Sessions\u003c\/i\u003e podcast\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“\u003ci\u003eThe Infinite Noise\u003c\/i\u003e is a marvelous book about love, mental health, and connection.
