![]() ![]() ![]() I did not think this book would make me cry! ![]() It’s a wonderful novel that surprised me not only story-wise, but also just emotionally. It’s more about friendship, and sexuality, and social media/fame, and the pressures of school when you’re a teenager, and feeling forced into college/university because that’s literally the only option presented to you by the education system. No matter how much you may ship the two characters, it is not meant to be. It’s very much a layered story, not just focusing on Frances and her friendship with Radio (AKA Aled-that is not a spoiler, it is in the synopsis of the book, I promise)-and that’s all it is, by the way. It’s set in England, so obviously I read the entire thing in a British accent inside my head, because why not. Radio Silence is told in first-person POV from Frances’s perspective. But when the whole world finds out Radio’s identity, things change for both of them, and not for the better. She even discovers Radio’s identity, and the two become fast friends. So when she gets a message on Tumblr from Radio, asking if she’ll collaborate and make art for the show, she is beyond ecstatic. The podcast is voiced by the anonymous Radio Silence, and Frances is literally its biggest fan. Frances Janvier feels like two separate people: there’s school Frances, who is quiet, plain, studious-boring then there’s the real Frances, who loves patterned leggings, watching movies and eating pizza with her mum, and drawing fan art for her favorite podcast, Universe City. ![]()
