reread cause why not and loved it as much as the first time thank you gay people
This book really tackles the toxic side of fandom in a very beautiful and delicate way.
I enjoyed this book because the characters are very relatable. Similar to protagonist, Frances Janvier, I am going through the mundane motions of life until I figure out what it is I truly want to do. I also have a version of Aled Last in my life. Frances and Aled share a special bond and it was refreshing to read about because the book captured the strong love one has for their best friend.

“Everyone's different inside their head.”
Francis Janvier is one of the highest academically performing students in her school, and that’s all most students see of her. What no one knows is that at home, she enjoys listening to a podcast made by an anonymous creator named Radio Silence. She loves creating fan art for the show, it’s her great escape from the world of academia. So when Radio Silence messages her asking if she’d create art for each episode, Francis is thrilled.
I got through this book in half a day; the writing style and plot are very easy to latch onto. It wasn’t long before I came to care for Francis and Aled, their friendship felt so utterly real. I loved seeing a book focused on relationships other than just romance.
Radio Silence was a nicely paced, fairly entertaining book. Alice Oseman portrays teenagers in a way that is more accurate than what most contemporary authors I’ve read are capable of. There was a ton of representation involving people of colour and different sexualites, also a lot of talk involving identity, which was amazing.
This is not to say that Radio Silence was without flaw, though. While I can see that this is a novel many teens will easily be able to relate to, there was nothing particularly unique or special about the writing and plot, nothing that differentiated it much from other good contemporaries.
I was never bored, but it felt sort of like this book was a straight line in terms of plot progression. There were times when Alice Oseman meant to build up tension or anticipation, but the climax just- didn’t deliver all of that.
Nonetheless, I can appreciate this book for its character driven-ness. As I mentioned before, I really did enjoy the bond between Frances and Aled. This was still a wonderful book, though. I would recommend it to many.
