Summary from Goodreads
Big-hearted Chloe Camden is the queen of her universe until her best friend shreds her reputation and her school counselor axes her junior independent study project. Chloe is forced to take on a meaningful project in order to pass, and so she joins her school’s struggling radio station, where the other students don’t find her too queenly. Ostracized by her former BFs and struggling with her beloved Grams’s mental deterioration, lonely Chloe ends up hosting a call-in show that gets the station much-needed publicity and, in the end, trouble. She also befriends radio techie and loner Duncan Moore, a quiet soul with a romantic heart. On and off the air, Chloe faces her loneliness and helps others find the fun and joy in everyday life. Readers will fall in love with Chloe as she falls in love with the radio station and the misfits who call it home.
This is a stand-out debut novel. I find that it is harder for me nowadays to get into young adult books that deal with everyday normal high schoolers (I like to avoid reality) but this one really drew me in. First of all there is the main character Chloe who just forces you to love her and I will admit that I kinda wanted to be her. She is one of those people who just make things happen for themselves. Which can be a bit annoying to those who are closest to them - which is explored in this book. I loved the characters, they all were very well fleshed out. Secondly, I loved that this book dealt with more than what are considered major teen issues. It explored everyday people issues and I think that is what made it relatable to me.
