So many people have connected with this story and found it important and I can understand why. For me it dragged in parts but overall I did enjoy it and whole-heartedly support the message about not having to have life figured out before you leave high school. Things change. Your interests change. Just make the best decision with the information you have in front of you at that time. Things often work out. And if they don't then you gather more information and make another decision. It'll be oka ...more

My goal is to physically read books that I gave low ratings that I listen to on audiobooks. Radio Silence is one of those books. I absolutely love Alice Oseman. Her books are a comfort to me and I only gave this book 2.5 stars. So rereading this book was a must, and I’m so glad I did!!! We follow Frances and her quest to get into a top college, her only pleasure is a show she watches that asks her to do art for the show. When she runs into a classmate at a bar and he drunkly admits he’s the secr ...more

This is another YA contemporary that surprised me (read my Eliza and Her Monsters review if you're interested). Teenagers, especially in fandoms, are difficult to write, and can very easily become cringey, yet Alice Oseman did this very well. Also, the purely platonic relationship of the main characters was wonderfully refreshing. And Frances's (the main character) mother was one of my favorite characters. It was so nice to see a contemporary have a nice mother. I pretty much have only two qualm ...more

This book really hit close to home with me, which is partially why I have given it a full five star rating. Seeing an accurate representation of someone similar to yourself in a book always boosts your enjoyment, but even if you cannot relate to Frances and Aled's struggles, there are plenty of other factors to ensure your enjoyment. Firstly, there is brilliant representation in the book. Nearly all of the main characters aren't straight (notably a bisexual character, a gay character and a demis ...more

eu não sei como começar a explicar radio silence. que livro ESPETACULAR
eu amei cada detalhe, personagem (menos Carol), cada descrição, TUDO. eu amei como é uma história ao mesmo tempo simples e mirabolante, algo que poderia ter acontecido comigo.
me vejo na frances. no aled. no daniel. na carys. na raine. me vejo nas descrições, nas inseguranças, nos pensamentos, nos gostos deles.
acho que minha vida teria sido muito mais fácil se eu tivesse lido esse livro 4 anos atrás. eu teria descoberto e ente
