Summary
The second novel by the phenomenally talented Alice Oseman, the author of the 2021 YA Book Prize winning Loveless, Solitaire and graphic novel series Heartstopper – now a major Netflix series.
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. He unlocks the door to Real Frances and for the first time she experiences true friendship, unafraid to be herself. Then the podcast goes viral and the fragile trust between them is broken.
Caught between who she was and who she longs to be, Frances’ dreams come crashing down. Suffocating with guilt, she knows that she has to confront her past....
She has to confess why Carys disappeared....
Meanwhile at uni, Aled is alone, fighting even darker secrets.
It’s only by facing up to your fears that you can overcome them. And it’s only by being your true self that you can find happiness.
Frances is going to need every bit of courage she has.
A YA coming of age read that tackles issues of identity, the pressure to succeed, diversity and freedom to choose, Radio Silence is a tour

"Hello, I hope somebody is listening", - Radio Silence
Great, well-paced story for teens and/or fans of Alice Oseman. The writing is beautiful. The dialogue between characters, the descriptions of every nervous heartbeat, the in depth thoughts of main character,Frances Janvier, are all classic Oseman- every word so intricately described the lives and thoughts of the characters that I felt they weren't fictional, they were real people that I knew, inside out. The narrator, Ayesha Kala, brings the characters to life, even by the slight changes in volume, tone and pitch. Well done to author, Alice Oseman and narrator, Ayesha Kala :)

Brilliant.
After Heartstopper I decided to check out the author’s other work and I’m glad I did. Oseman captures the teenage experience perfectly with this one. I’m glad Aled got more character development and Francis was a great protagonist.

It's not all about academia
This book hit a lot of the current topics that your people struggle with on a daily basis, the characters were strong and the story itself was great, I really enjoyed it and will definitely be recommending it.

I have no words... or maybe just a few
This was absolutely wonderful.
I wish I read a book like this when I was a YA myself (I am currently 30+). I highly recommend this, both for the writing as for the narration. I don't want to say something about the story, you can read that in the blurb. Acually, don't read the blurb, just listen to the book.
I do want to say specificly, that the narration was spot on. I have added Aysha Kala to my list of favourite narrators and will listen to more of her performances. Probably starting with another Alice Oseman book.
