You woke up this morning with a problem no one else seems to have.

When you look at people, something appears: emotional readings, percentages, sudden spikes, and—if you pay enough attention—the conscious thought passing through their mind at that exact moment.

The readings are real.

Understanding them is your problem.

ATTRACTION: 91% does not tell you who they want. FEAR: 84% does not tell you what they fear. And the thought you catch might explain everything... or remind you that they need toothpaste.

Unfortunately, you don't live alone.

You share a flat with Eli, your long-time friend and leaseholder; Rina, an emergency veterinary technician with terrible hours; Tess, a working actress waiting for the role that actually matters; and Owen, the newest roommate, who somehow combines an active life with the soul of a filing cabinet.

They were ordinary yesterday.

They still are.

You're the one who changed.
