Radio Silence
This book is just so damn important! The best coming of age, young adult book I will ever read.It's just so real.I started reading this one with no expectations. Good or bad, I was not going to care. I just jad to read it. The book has been slowly getting its audience ever since it got published.This book is just not about the dilemma of the young who are getting into University and handling social media. This book is more than that. It talks about passion, the difficult situations the younger
People move on quicker than I can comprehend. People forget you within days, they take new pictures to put on Facebook and they don't read your messages. They keep on moving forward and shove you to the side because you make more mistakes than you should. Theres something so authentically millennial about this book. Its in the sense of loss. The exploration of detachment from parents and of abuse. The music choices - London Grammar and The 1975s Chocolate are mentioned on the same page. The
The easiest five-star-rating I gave this year to a YA book. I was going to say to a book, forget the YA thing, but Kings Rising got a five stars from me the moment I finished reading the first sentence. Damen & Laurent forever and ever.The friendship between Frances and Aled is definitely what I liked best. Or maybe not. Its hard to pinpoint the most impressive thing about this book, honestly. The pacing is fabulous (such short chapters!), the atmosphere is great, the humour is uplifting,
3,5* - this was so great up until the "showdown" happened. Realistic characters and relationships, a compelling writing style and a great message. But ugh the ending was so over dramatic and unrealistic.. It kinda ruined the book for me tbh.
Do not pity the dead, Harry, pity the living, and above all those WHO HAVE NEVER READ THIS BOOK.This book was like, the spiritual equivalent of eating a perfectly toasted bagel. It was so so good and so adorable and I feel so soft on every level of metaphorical interpretation. I honestly just want to SCREAM about this book and these characters forever and let that be my career. I swear I have such a obsessive personality and once I like something I invest my entire livelihood into it and forget
please just call me Radio. Radio Silence. I am, after all, only a voice on a radio, and there may not be anyone listening. Radio Silence is the best contemporary book Ive ever read. Full stop. So, buckle in, because this is going to be a full-gush review, because this book was everything. And holy shit did it blow all my expectations out of the water. I normally give a brief synopsis about the book Im reviewing here, but Radio Silence almost feels too personal for me to even type this review,

Im pleasantly surprised by how authentically Oseman portrays teenagers, academic pressure, fandom, and friendships. The dialogue is organic instead of forced, the themes are universally relatable, and the purely platonic friendship is very genuine. The pace throughout this book is nicely done with several points of tension throughout the story. The diversity is weaved in naturally. Overall, this is a solid book that is sure to hit home for many teenagers. The main reason why Im not rating this 5This book is just so damn important!
