Book Summary:
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.
