Finally I finished this book!! Oh, at first I felt really not quite engaging to the story. But, as the story goes on, I got the feeling that the whole story would be even sadder than other Alice Oseman's book.
They're really wrote everything beautifully.

Radio Silence is brilliant. I got myself took a deep breath everytime I read the triggers. It really got me and it sometimes felt related to myself. Sometimes, I felt triggered, but I'm glad that I can finish this book.

The one that bothered me just... how Carol Last was formed in this story. She's just straight a red flag for me. But, I... am glad that Radio Silence ended with a happy ending.

I don't hate this book, but I don't like it either.
There were a lot of things that I was feeling icky about... I don't think the demisexual rep is well done and some other  things that bothered me about the characters...

I didn't like the writing, I found the story... Well, meh? I liked the whole podcast thing but that was about it.

I'm one of those people who enjoyed solitaire a lot more. Not that I don't have my problems with it as well but in comparison I like it more than radio silence.

It's moody kind of read, I enjoyed the atmosphere a lot but that's about it.

<minor_spoiler> This book feels like the two main characters will get together but they don't. </minor_spoiler> Romance isn't the book's main focus and sometimes it's nice just to have a strong friendship. The book discusses fandoms being stalkerish and their effects on real people. The book leaves a strong message.
