I enjoyed this a lot overall. I liked the romance, with its great chemistry and believable tension, and I loved the 'she-has-no-idea-how-obsessed-with-him-she-is' vibe that's there right from the start. I loved, too, many of the side characters and other relationships that are explored (and particularly all the casual queer representation). I also went into this knowing basically nothing about public radio and so it was super interesting to get an insight into that, and I essentially just really appreciated how well-balanced the romance is with everything mentioned above and also with the explorations of some heavier topics. Overall, then, a really solid read - I didn't connect with it enough emotionally to give it a higher rating, but I still enjoyed my time reading it and I'd recommend it if it sounds at all interesting to you!
