(Yes, I scheduled to post this on Aled's birthday ok shhhh)
Okay but Radio Silence is an amazing book and every time I read it I wanna curl up in it and savour it forever and it's so amazing Alice Oseman is a gOddess.
Like,,, I actually love love the fact that she put a demisexual character cuz like,,, you don't hear about that sexuality a whole lot, and it's cool to be like, oh hey, that kinda sounds like me or smth and not knowing what that was before, or like, not making Aled's parents some tragic "my dad/mom died when I was ---" but making his mom be,,, like,,, idk- not perfect? I can't describe things agh. Not that it's a bad thing if an author chooses to do that, it's a good way to have character development as well as make things relatable for some.
And for like having Carys change their name to February, because Carys reminded them of bad stuff, and having them run away because like,,, ajahahha running away from your problemsssS (ok maybe that's not so good...)
And making not getting into a University okay, or not going to university okay, and you can still get like,, a good job/have a happy life without getting good grades or straight A's.
And for having Aled make Radio like,, genderless? That was super cool!!!! :)))
It breaks so many bounds and reassures so many different people and it makes me feel warm and happy inside.
Sorry for the rant haha I just really like Radio Silence- okay bye :3 (read radio silence pls ty)
