Lizard Radio, by Pat Schmatz

2.0

I wanted to like this book. But between the annoying thing where it took forever to figure out common objects because the author felt the need to rename everything to prove this is not our normal society or something, combined with the completed lack of any sort of satisfying ending (the book just kinda went and ended, without really explaining a lot of stuff) I just couldn't get to where I wanted in terms of liking this book. Frustrating, because I wanted to like it. But if I have to spend the whole book trying to understand the world you created and I still don't get most of it, because no character actually manages to explain any of it in a way that makes it all clear and connected, it's frustratingly bad world building.
