Alice never disappoints!! I am continually enamored with her way of capturing characters’ complex humanity. Alice’s novels and novellas (that I’ve read so far) are poignant and emotional with themes of mental illness, friendship,  and rejecting the societal norms that force people into boxes. Radio Silence was no different.

I  was wholly mortified by Aled and Carys’ mother and at the edge of my seat, barely breathing, when Aled was making the decision at the train. And I was so stoked to see demi representation!!

All this to say: Alice Oseman is an artist and Radio Silence is a must read!

I loved this book!!! The characters were so lovable to be, I got so attached to Aled and Frances’s friendship and I ordered watching their story unfold. This book talks about mental health in a careful and validating way. Alice Oseman did such a phenomenal job🫶
