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

A very uneventful book!
I persisted with this book but wasn’t worth the effort. Very slow and uninteresting.
There wasn’t really a great bit of this story to report on.

Breathtaking 💚
Started with this after loving Heartstopper and Aled's brief appearances in the comics. I saw Alice mention Aled in an interview and was desperate to know his story. I knew it would be amazing, but wasn't prepared for ALL the feels this book gave me.
Francis is an incredible main character and narrator for the story. The moments of tension are exceptional. Not only are you on a journey of discovery with Francis, you're also coming up with your own theories along the way (well, I was at least)
If you're a fan of Heartstopper, listen out for the subtle Easter eggs hidden throughout the story too 💚

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.

Aysha Kala did amazing
It’s hard to add emotion when reading and Aysha did an amazing job, I could hear the emotion within her voice. Alice Oseman’s books give me life and I can actually see myself in her books (obsessed)
