The thing aboutWavelength is that it isn't terribly interesting. To me it read like a story a friend would've told me about their "disastrous" term break during which they didn't manage to accomplish their academic goals. And whenever that happened, I'd sympathise for the the first three minutes, after which I would switch off. Spending every waking moment of my vacation studying never was a primary concern to me. And since complaints about not studying enough surrounded me so many years through school and university, Wavelength appealed to my memories but not in a good way.
There wasn't much about the individual characters that caught my attention either. The ending of the book was fairly abrupt too. While I don't mind open endings, I do want to see how particular event impacted the characters. How did they respond? Did they change as a result? I didn't see that in Wavelength. As much as the title of the book is Wavelength, the ups and downs of the plot and the characters remained decidedly flat for me.
