It's a pity how a really good premise can be jeopardised by a less-than-stellar delivery. 
 This book really piqued my interest because who doesn't like an underdog-turned-heroine story? Unfortunately, the style of the writing, for me, fails to deliver this book to its maximum potential. 
 This book talks from a first-person perspective about a really shy girl, Tere, who, against all expectations, rises to become a successful DJ as she's always dreamed to become. However, I failed to connect with the entire book because I couldn't connect with Tere. At all. 
 For a really shy person, Tere does have a lot going on in her head. In fact, she thinks normally. Too normally. In fact, I wonder: Is that how shy people think? Because throughout the book, she not once struck me as a shy person. More like a lose-wannabe, really. She comes up with normal thoughts (some pretty evil or bitchy, in fact) but then she's busy over-thinking them (and not because she's shy to put thoughts into speech or actions or whatever) that all we get are empty promises of what could have been a great twist or development to the story. Sounds like a walking, (non-)talking hypocrite to me. 
 I know a handful of shy people who would run up the wall rather than speak up in public. One thing that Tere's gotten right: shy people are afraid of public humiliation should they ever use their vocal chords. Sure, they aren't anti-social beings. But from my knowledge, shy people try to make up for their lack of speech by completing their responsibilities. They act rather than talk. Tere? Not really. In a group project, Tere's constantly chided for not getting her part of the research done, for not getting her part of the job completed. Heck, her group mates even have to help her! Does she feel grateful? No, not really. All she does, besides existing in the group, is ogling her crush, who also happens to be in her group too. What the hell. 
 With regards to the supporting characters, I believe that their existence in this group is only to shine the limelight onto the main character (who, much to my abhorrence, happens to be Tere). They don't have a shadow of a character, or not even a life of their own. All they do throughout this book is be there when Tere needs help (which is pretty much all the time), or when Tere wants to finally use her ability of speech. The whole world in this book pretty much revolves around Tere. That or Tere makes it so, not giving a damn about her friends own lives (except, of course, her crush, as aforementioned). 
 When Tere becomes a DJ, I was hoping for an insight to the daily responsibilities of a DJ career or an overview of the behind-the-scenes in a radio station. In fact, all I learned is that a DJ answers phone calls and gives self-introductions a gazillion of times over the radio for a living. Gee, swell life right? 
 A really disappointing read. This book gives you what it promises in the blurb but nothing more.
