This is the first book I’ve read that had AROACE representative and it brings tears to my eyes ass a fellow aroace spec! They explained the sexuality well as well accurately expressed the fears and overall internal experience of what it’s like identifying under this spectrum! This was a special book for me. I also loved the friendship dynamic and found family trope within this book

It was such a cute novel which is not uncommon for Alice’s work :)
Compared to radio scilence it really goes in deep about asexuality which makes a lot of sense I mean read the title

I found this a very educational read actually - it would be great for secondary school students! 


Georgia is struggling with her love life. She has never felt desire, never wanted a partner and the thought of kissing someone makes her sick. She heads off into the world of university, where the terms pride, aromantic, asexual are thrown at her. We follow her through her journey of self discovery. 


Honestly, the representation of sexuality in this book is amazing. It’s honestly an educational read and can see it being extremely powerful for someone questioning where they belong. I loved the friendship in this and related to the silly decisions and petty arguments Georgia experienced in her university years. 


Unfortunately, I was not a fan of the writing style. It was a little too young for me and the dialogue was so unrealistic. It was very narrative heavy and left not a lot to the imagination: a lot of telling not showing. It’s certainly suited better to YA in which I am not.

I'm absolutely in love with this book, I have got to buy more Alice Oseman books! It was so beautiful and incredibly well written. The characters were all amazing and the felt real. Never have I found a character as relatable as Georgia Warr. I cannot reccomed this book highly enough!
