I definitely agree that it's a little wordy. I feel like each chapter contains a lot of paragraphs that could have been cut, and maybe the whole story condensed a bit? But I also loved Cameron's rambling sort of thought-process, and it makes her feel more real to me.

Discussion thread for Part Two: High School!

Awesome! Glad to have you all joining in! There's definitely going on in this book and I'm looking forward to discussing it with you all! :)

This got much heavier than I was expecting just reading the blurb?? Like there's all this grief and (view spoiler)[addiction? I'm getting that vibe (hide spoiler)] and I low-key just want more necromancy?

I'm enjoying learning a little more about the world though.

Aww, sorry that it wasn't for you, Rusty! I can see where you're having trouble connecting with the MC though, and I hope you enjoy your next read more!

Just dug out my copy and ready to start reading! Funny enough, when I read this book the first time it inspired me to create a, "Best-books-I-never-want-to-re-read' shelf on GR, and here I am. It's been quite a while since I've read this though and I'm really curious to see if it's all like I remember. :)

I'm really glad you liked it!! Can't wait to see what happens! :)

Yes! I really liked how casual and normalized her bisexuality is!
And I completely agree with the sudden-ness of the deaths. :/

Ahh, sorry I'm going so slow with this! Just finished chapter nine! (view spoiler)[ I KNEW Evander was going to die. All of his talk about the island and wanting to experience change and travel made him feel more like a motivating factor than a character. Like I knew that he was going to die and remembering his words/what he wanted is going to be what motivates Odessa forward. I'm kind of disappointed it was so predictable, also wondering how the book is going to take us from this completely heartbroken Odessa to another romance? It doesn't feel like there's enough time/room, but I'm willing to see how it goes!

The side characters are also amusing me? I like Jax and Danial. (hide spoiler)]

The winner of our poll was "The Miseducation of Cameron Post by Emily Danforth!

We will start on April 1st, but don't stress if you aren't able to start that exact day. Discussion threads will be divided into chapter segments, so you should be able to avoid spoilers, while still getting to join in.

If you have any questions, comments, or would like any content warnings, feel free to use this thread. (Or you can shoot me a PM!)

I was thinking the love interest would be Valoria, but I'm curious what's going to go down with Odessa/Evander. Didn't get a chance to read much today, but hoping to knock a few chapters out now!

Ahhh yes! I am SO hype for that, would love to read it when it comes out!

Rusty wrote: "So excited ! I'm gonna start this now ."

Yay! Excited to have you, and I'm hoping we all love it

Ooh, good catch. I'm intrigued by the five god's as well. How does a whole kingdom manage to write off change-- especially when there was literally a goddess of change? Just finished chapter four and it's all still very interesting!

Sabrien wrote: "Same, I read the four chapters and I need more world building. I feel like once it makes more sense though, I'll be more into it."

I'm hoping! It's a really cool idea, I'm just interested in the structure and how it all works!

cool, sunday it is c:"

Awesome! I made you guys a thread: here!

Mina, Sabrien, and Fatima are planning a buddy-read starting this Sunday (4/1/2018)

Radio Silence features a bi MC and strong focus on friendship. Discussion down below!

(spoilers should be marked)

I'm two chapters in, and so far I'm digging it. The magic system seems really cool and different, and Odessa, Evander and Valoria all seem interesting.

I'm hoping for some more worldbuilding though, especially when it comes to how this whole kingdom runs without anything changing. 0.o

Yes! You are all welcome! :)

I'm going to try for four chapters today, Sabrien! :)
