I'm going through the books I requested pre-2018 when I stopped blogging to clean up my NetGalley TBR and this was on the list. I don't think it's a book for me anymore and will not be reviewing at this time, but if I do read it, I will update this review. Thank you for the opportunity.

I won't be able to leave a review for this book; I requested it in a past lifetime of my NetGalley use and it no longer fits with my reading interests. If I ever do end up reading it I'll come back and update this!

I really enjoyed the twist of this book where the main character is someone we are expected to not like straight away. The expectations were switched so you are on the side of many of the side characters instead of the main character, but watching her own internal monologue switch as the story progresses and she realises what matters to her is really satisfying.

This book was hilarious and I enjoyed reading every word.

This book was so much fun! I loved the characters and the romance, but I especially loved having everything occur with a radio show setting as the backdrop.

I wasn't quite sure what to make of Welcome, Caller, This Is Chloe by Shelley Corriell when I first started reading. I was initially drawn to the striking cover and I really liked the idea of school radio show, but at first I did think that the main character Chloe would be a bit too out there for me.

The story starts off with Chloe dressed up as a burrito trying to drum up business for the Mexican restaurant she works for. Chloe is very bubbly and full of life, with an interest in vintage shoes and more than slightly kooky. But things begin to change for Chloe when her two best friends in the world turn on her and she is left friendless and alone.

I really felt bad for Chloe, being in this situation, though I'll admit something about Chloe's friendships with her previous best friends didn't quite come across as believeable for me. I do love that Chloe stays mostly positive throughout and just carries on the best as she can. Even when her main project for the year is changed and instead she is forced to work for the failing school radio with a bunch of misfits.

The radio aspect of the book is my favourite part. I think perhaps I always secretly wanted to be on the radio and I think it all sounded like a bunch of fun. And once Chloe realises she can be a bit self-centred and tries to be more open to other people and their stories, I thought the book really picked up. Plus, there is some truly happy-making scenes in which Chloe uses Mexican food metaphors to apply marketing and business techniques which had me cracking up.

With a sweet relationship with an ageing grandma and the budding of romance between Chloe and one of the new radio crowd, I found Welcome Caller This Is Chloe to be a quick and enjoyable read which touched on some great themes of identity, friendship and finding a place to belong.
