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!

Very cute, pretty fun, I enjoyed myself. The podcast plot made sense and was fun but idk it didn’t keep me super hooked or amazed or anything. I think I sometimes struggled to understand some of the deeper themes just in that there were a lot of them kind of all over. We have a major one with Frances and her schooling and the importance of grades but then there’s also the plot of the podcast but also their friendship and then Carys is missing and Aled’s mom is like cartoonishly villainous idk. Just seemed a bit scrambled, but again I did ultimately enjoy myself and had some fun. So very British too lol but reading the book was much easier to understand than listening to the audiobook
