Radio Silence by Alice Oseman
5.0
Finally! A book about friendship that doesn't get overpowered by romance!!
I loved this way too much. Might've cried a bunch of times because of the perfect narration in which the narrator sobbed so many times, I had a hard time controlling my own tears.
Plot: 5/5
Narration: 6/5
Characters: 6/5
*Frances was so pure and sweet and lovely. Where do I get a friend like her?
*Aled was awesome. I read this book because he showed up in the Nick and Charlie novella and I wanted to read more about him.
*Raineee was my third fav character. She was soooo niceeee. Also the scene with her stroking her car near the end made me laugh.
*I was mad at Daniel for half the story but then I just felt bad for him after listening to his side. Also, once again, the narrator cried during that one Cambridge scene and I just lost it too.
*God, I hated their crappy mother. She genuinely scared me and I was so worried that it might end badly.
*I really liked the podcasts ☺️ The audiobook actually had different voices for different Universe City characters like the book mentioned.
* Also, so many Tumblr mentions. I guess this book was written during a time when Tumblr was famous and we didn't have Instagram yet? Because my god, I get annoyed when a book mentions social media over and over again. But this one did it just right.
Fav scenes:
*The birthday night.
*The discussion at the very end in the university dorm.
*Cambridge interview - before and after.
*Raine helping Frances - at the party and the train station.
