The story is about Caleb, a football player who can feel the emotions of every one around him. This makes it hard for him to be around other people, but he uses the emotions of another guy at school, Adam, to help calm the other emotions that he feels. The two become friends and eventually start dating.
The novel also deals with topics such as depression and self-harm. It did a good job of realistically showing what it's like to live with depression. The characters were also very likable and different from one another. Although Caleb's ability was the main focus of the story, his personal life was also shown throughout the novel. The novel switches between Caleb and Adam's POV.
The author's writing wasn't very good, but the unique story line made up for it. Also, most of the characters are teenagers. Some parts of their lives seem pretty accurate, but other parts are really cliche and not something that would actually happen. Altogether, the novel was very interesting and great addition to YA.
