I read Radio Silence a few days ago and now i'm obsessed with it. I totally had to make this.

(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)

thoughts on radio silence !!

SO good. i’m still amazed at how well it captures what actual teenagers are like (all alices books do, but you know this) as opposed to what middle aged women who write ya THINK teenagers are like. i think a lot of the issues addressed in the books- being limited in your self-expression, having trouble finding true friends, believing you’re worth as much as your grades- are things that are often overlooked by adults because they seem small to them when in reality they’re not. especially academic stress is so often dismissed while it definitely was the root cause of a lot of my mental health issues in high school (and still if im honest!!!)

and at the same time it handles darker and more universal topics like abusive parents and mental health with such grace, all while being a good and overall fun story to read. that, in comibation w great diversity and lgbt rep makes it one of the best books i’ve ever read i think!!

i remember reading it at 15 (over 3 years ago! can you believe!) and feeling so very understood bc i was dealing w a lot of the same stuff at the time. it’s still one of my comfort reads to this day :’)
