I adore Welcome, Caller, This is Chloe. I love the writing style, the characters, the cover, the story. It's unique, different, fun, and real.
Chloe is the type of person everyone loves to be around. That is until her best friends block her out and start spreading rumors about her. The whole school acts as if she has a plague. With no friends, Chloe doesn't know what to do with herself. She's gone from being the center of the universe to a lone tumbleweed twirling in a barren desert. She doesn't know what she did wrong. To make matters worse, a new guidance counselor is making her do her JISP project all over, and things are not going well at home. She's lonely and all she wants is to be wanted/needed again. Failing to turn her JISP on time, the counselor signs her up for KDRS, the struggling school radio station. Chloe's bubbling personality is just what they need. Now, she just has to convince them that she can listen and care for more than just herself and vintage shoes.
Chloe, she's so happy go lucky. She believes there is always time for fun. It doesn't matter when, where, or how, she's going to make it fun. She loves to make people smile and laugh with her witty wisecracks and quirkiness. She's outgoing, confident, and has a big heart. I love how different she is from most main characters. I wish I was more like her and that I had all her vintage shoes. I really liked all the characters, really. They each have their own problems, like all people do. They aren't perfect, they have flaws and their lives aren't easy. They're real and that's what I liked most about the book. I could see myself in their shoes, or I had been there before and I loved that I could relate like that to them.

Welcome, Caller, This is Chloe is about change. How change could be good or bad. How a bad change can lead to good things. How in the end everything works out and you just have to believe in that.
"Sometimes change sneaks up on you, carried in on the breath of spring, sliding through the sun-soaked waves of summer, breezing along the whisper and crackle of fall. Other times change prefers a more direct route. It comes down fast and hard...like a hammer."
