About this listen

Three novels from the phenomenally talented Alice Oseman – winner of the 2021 YA Book Prize and creator of the beloved graphic novel series Heartstopper, now a major Netflix series.

SOLITAIRE
My name is Tori Spring.

I like to sleep and I like to blog. Last year – before all that stuff with Charlie and before I had to face the harsh realities of A-Levels and university applications and the fact that one day I really will have to start talking to people – I had friends. Things were very different, I guess, but that’s all over now.

RADIO SILENCE
What if everything you set yourself up to be was wrong?

Frances has always been a study machine with one goal, elite university. Nothing will stand in her way; not friends, not a guilty secret – not even the person she is on the inside.

But when Frances meets Aled, the shy genius behind her favourite podcast, she discovers a new freedom.

I WAS BORN FOR THIS
For Angel Rahimi life is about one thing: The Ark – a pop-rock trio of teenage boys who are taking the world by storm. Being part of The Ark’s fandom has given her everything she loves – her friend Juliet, her dreams, her place in the world.

Jimmy Kaga-Ricci owes everything to The Ark. He’s their frontman – and playing in a band with his mates is all he ever dreamed of doing. But dreams don’t always turn out the way you think…

I loved all of the narrator's, very calm relaxing voices, beautiful messages in the stories, and much representation without it feeling forced at all. :)

best author of all time

The good: radio silence and I was born for this are great. Really enjoyed them both, good plots, engaging listen, the kind of books you can't put down. Narration was really good on both
Really need a spinoff of IWBFT.

So, the bad. Solitaire was really not great in my opinion. It definitely felt like it was written by a 17 year old, and although that was impressive, it wasn't a great book.
The plot was weak, with the mystery of who was behind solitaire being fairly obvious from the beginning. Characters were also quite weak (tori is just a personified tumbler post from 2014). Narration was also very flat which worked for the character, but still quite annoying

Loved radio silence and I was born for this

The understanding of feelings in all of Alice Oaseman’s books is truly amazing, in some other books it’s like the characters feelings don’t even matter but in Alice Oaseman’s books you can truly understand the feelings of the characters and it makes them feel like there wright there in front of me it’s amazing!.Solitaire really stands out to me tori is quite a relatable character her definition of “normal” is completely different to others.
