Radio Silence is a book I truly didn’t think I’d enjoy. One of my favourite book youtubers absolutely loves it but I wasn’t all the way convinced.
Suffice to say, it proved me wrong in all the best ways. The characters and plot were an absolute whirlwind and every word left me wanting more. A secret podcast made by a quiet nerd who wants to conceal their identity AT ALL COSTS hardly sounds like much of a plot but with each “Hello. I hope somebody is listening…” you get closer to the truth and fall more in love with the story.
No perfect way to explain it except that there is so much more than meets the eye and don’t judge a book by it’s cover, or a podcast by its sound…
