And now my life's great! Living with friends, a fun job doing something I enjoy. Life isn't all textbooks and grades.


Frances was always all about studying and good grades. And she received them, while always feeling a little bit like an outsider. There was always school Frances and real Frances, whom she never showed to except for Carys. But after her disappearance the only thing keeping her bound to her real side, is „Universe City“ a podcast broadcasted on YouTube. And when she meets Aled, Carys sister, and finds out his biggest secret, chaos is not far ahead.

Radio silence was one of the most wholesome books I‘ve read this year. I loved the characters and I can not believe how much I was able to identify myself with Frances, every possible way. I loved that there was such a variety in different sexuality’s and attractions, I loved the way how Aleds depression was represented. The book had definitely some memorable quotes and I am still debating which quote is going to make top spot.
If you love a good coming of age story, with everything a teenage and adult heart could desire, you are going to love Radio Silence.
I wish Unisverse City would exist, I would love to be able to listen one episode.. or twenty.

Last year when I read The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo, I never thought something else will ever affect me as much as that book but then I read this one and yes, it comes a close second to being my favorite book of all time.

It had such a diverse cast of characters with something so important to say in a brilliant writing style. I can't express in words how much this book means to me ❤

A really nice story, I wish I weren't this old for it though.

I’m crying in public this is mildly embarrassing
