Radio Silence is a contemporary young adult fiction novel written by Alice Oseman and winner of the 2017 Inky awards which can be found here. Their problems and hidden depths can relate to the definition of the term radio silence. Frances’s hidden self, Aled’s pain, Daniel’s confusion about his relationship with Aled, and Carys’ disappearance. In some ways, they are being silent about something that they have trouble sharing with even those that care the most about them. Each character in their own way is hiding something. The title Radio Silence in a nutshell would be the name of Aled Lasts’ alias for his podcast Universe City. It’s only now, after having read the full book, that I remember a certain English lesson where we had to analyze a book title before we read it and all the information you can get about a book just by looking at the title. When I first looked at the title, I could only remember faint remnants of the definition, a time during which it’s only silence. schwab Victoria schwab we have always lived in the castle We Were Liars Wool wrap up Recent Posts Salinger Jay Kristoff Jenn Bennett Jon Ronson Leigh Bardugo lorde lyrical challenge Owen King Patrick Rothfus poems poetry Quotes reading reputation review Rick Riordan Sarah J Maas series Shirley Jackson Simon and Schuster Sleeping Beauties Starry Eyes Stephen King Sylvia Plath tag tana french Taylor Swift The Catcher in the Rye The Cruel Prince The Gentleman's Guide to Vice and Virtue The Great Gatsby The Wicked King thriller top ten tuesday twitter v.e.

I have two cats, and a fiancé who I live with and keep me sane. I’m an English literature major, and live in a town somewhere in the south. Some of my favorite genres include YA and Adult Fantasy, Thrillers, and Contemporary/Realistic. My name is Daniel, and I’m here to try and give you the best possible reviews and tags about books. It is definitely going to be one I will remember and recommending for a long time to come. I’m so happy that I finally got around to reading this one. My only complaint (because you know I have to bitch about something) is the constant use of “Er” as a filler whenever a character either didn’t know what to say or was stalling. And while the odds of someone having a hit podcast are slim, I felt that this idea was used very well to get points across about what it is to feel truly alone in life. Aled and Frances are extremely relatable and Oseman did a fantastic job with them. Those first lines set the tone for what is a very serious, very real topic and book. But, let me tell you, I was hooked from the first page. I feel like it has one of those titles that is really hard to forget - two words that, when put together, can have so many different meanings behind them.Įither way, it had almost been two years since this had been published, and when I got the chance to read it, I went in not really remembering what it was about. This is yet another book that has been on my TBR for awhile. Will they have the courage to show everyone who they really are? Or will they be met with radio silence? In a world determined to shut them up, knock them down, and set them on a cookie cutter life path, Frances and Aled struggle to find their voices over the course of one life-changing year. You probably think that they are going to fall in love or something. Frances Janvier spends most of her time studying.Įveryone knows Aled Last as that quiet boy who gets straight As.
