Radio Silence by Alice Oseman

elspethjulia's review against another edition

This book is very un-subtle. I know it’s YA but teens are so smart, we don’t need to hit them over the head with the message over and over again.

Not as good as Loveless but still enjoyed ! Alice Oseman writes teenage struggle really well. Though I think Aled's reaction to Radio Silence's identity coming out was unfair - Frances didn't out him and he's acting like she did, he also wasn't exactly acting cautiously himself - I appreciate the exploration of his mental health and destructive spiral, mostly in regard to his family situation and being unhappy with where he is. Solid YA about kids figuring shit out.

J’hésite entre le fait que je suis complètement détruite ou au contraire soulagée.

Alice Oseman a accomplit, encore et toujours, la perfection. Radio silence reflète la réalité, comme chacune des œuvres d’Alice Oseman.

Comme chacun de ses romans, Alice Oseman évoque l’orientation sexuelle, même les plus méconnues. Elle rassure, tout est okay.

La santé mentale est, une nouvelle fois, au centre du roman. La difficulté à être un ado, les environnements violents et toxiques, la difficulté à s’accepter et à être soi. Je pourrai écrire des heures sur les écrits d’Alice Oseman tant ils sont importants.
J’aurais aimé les lire tous plus tôt, Radio Silence en fait évidemment parti. Il aurait été mon doudou.

J’ai beaucoup aimé cette amitié entre Aled et Frances, si forte. Une amitié qui ne nous change pas, au contraire, celle qui laisse être nous-mêmes, cette personne qu’on cache au reste du monde.

Merci, Alice Oseman. Chaque roman est un vrai trésor que je chérirai de tout mon cœur.
