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 FROM COVER TO COVER

this book simultaneously made me love everything and made me so happy, while also tearing my heart out of my chest and shredding it into pieces. and yet, it somehow still manages to leave my heart bigger than it was before. and THAT is true talent.

I love every single character in this book, except the ones I hate lol

also WHY IS UNIVERSE CITY NOT A REAL THING? i need it to be a thing. and you know what else I need to be a thing? MORE OF THIS BOOK. you are not telling me that this book ends here. i need every last bit of aled and frances's friendship UNTIL THE DAY THEY DIE IN LIKE 80 YEARS. 

AND NOT ONLY ALED AND FRANCES, BUT EVERY OTHER CHARACTER IN THIS BOOK

(I'm obsessed if you cant tell)

Me inspiró a hacer mi propia cuenta de escritura. ¿Tengo que decir más?

Cómo con todos los de Alice, me sentí profundamente identificada con los personajes, especialmente con Frances y Aled. Yo también dependo de la validación académica y me gustan los podcasts, ¿ok?

Son personajes que te pueden llegar a frustrar, pero entiendes sus motivos, sus miedos, aspiraciones y cómo la vida adulta los confunde tanto. Ver como evolucionan y salen de sus moldes es hermoso. El final es el mejor que se le pudo haber dado.

Muchísimos puntos por tocar el tema de la demisexualidad en 2014. Alice for the win.

Definitivamente lo recomiendo (Welcome To The Night Vale, voy por ti).
