There is bisexual and demisexual (on the page!! My only complaint is that it didn’t appear sooner in the story, especially since I picked up on what was going on pretty early in) representation. Let’s start off with the representation in this book.
Also, it’s a boy-girl friendship book where there’s no romance. Overall, this is a book that brims over with hope. Alice Oseman’s newest YA novel Radio Silence is the quirky, poignant and unforgettable story of two British teens, Frances Janvier and Al ex Last, who make a podcast together. This is one of those books that I’ve read and its characters and messages have stayed with me. If you enjoy books that have queer protagonists, a whole lot of wit, even more heart, media elements and capture the essence of being a nerdy, overachieving teen…well, you’re going to love this book. A really nice read.Radio Silence by Alice Oseman, HarperTeen, 496 pp.Ĭontent Warnings: Emotional abuse, child abuse, depression, performance anxiety, death of a dog Overall, I’d suggest this book to the teenagers out there. This was shown more in the second half of the book, whereby this topic was mentioned and discussed with more depth and bolder. Furthermore, as most of us know, this book has lgbtq+ element in it. Sometimes, all you need to do is to follow your passion and do what you love and maybe that’s the best path for you. Also, the struggles of oneself to prove himself to the family.
#RADIO SILENCE BOOK QUOTES PLUS#
Firstly, it shows the struggles of teenagers with expectations from the school and society plus parents.
They keep on moving forward and shove you to the side because you make more mistakes than you should.”īesides, the messages of this book are really meaningful. People forget you within days, they take new pictures to put on Facebook and they don’t read your messages. “People move on quicker than I can comprehend. I like the contrast, it is somehow very significant to me. Meanwhile, Frances’s mum was supportive, cool, funny, caring, overall a great mother. She was also abusive, as much as I could see. Aled’s mum was this psycho, controlling, a pusher and also mental. These two showed the opposite kind of mum and I really like how the author portrayed these two individuals. Also, there were the mums characters, Carol Last (Aled’s mum) and Frances’s mum. Daniel was a studious person yet he was also a great friend and his determination was really inspiring. She was not smart but she’s a true friend. I love how badass, kind and loyal friend Raine was. These two characters are Asians, I supposed, an Indian and a Korean. I adored the side characters the most, such as Raine and Daniel. I think they developed well throughout the book, the maturity was shown towards the end. I love the main characters, Frances and Aled. They could be remembered vividly and this is the first time for me to really remember all the characters in a book. I really love how unique and strong each character was created in the book. One of the things that really stood out for me was the characters. All the small events that eventually built up till the ending was actually fun to read. It was fast paced and easy to follow through. Starting this book, I was struggling a little to grasp the concept at first but as the story went by, I started to enjoy the writing style and the whole idea of this book. “I wonder- if nobody is listening to my voice, am i making any sound at all?” I’ve heard so many good things about this book, praises and more praises.
