I cannot really put into words how much I love radio silence. 
it's mainly about friendship and your friends' the dark past that you sometimes simply overlook. I adore aled and his podcast and I feel like frances is an alternative version of me. the main topics in this are the ups and downs of friendship, deciding what colleges you want to apply to, worrying whether you'll be accepted or not and realising that sometimes being smart is just not enough. I myself am dealing with these things right now so it kinda feels like the book has been sent to me from above. 
I've learnt new things about myself through frances and the book gave me a lot of stuff to think about. 
the portrayal of teens is just so good, Alice did a great job once again. 
I'm pretty sure radio silence became one of my favourite contemporary books of all time and I can't wait to read it again later in life.

this book made me feel just a little bit better about being alive

Frances har altid været en 12-talspige med ét mål, eliteuniversitet. Der er intet, der kan stoppe hende på vejen dertil; hverken venner, en insisterende mor, eller den ene hobby, som Frances rent faktisk bare dyrker for sjov: at tegne illustrationer til hendes absolutte yndlings-podcast. Men da Frances møder Aled, det generte geni bag Universe City, opdager Frances en helt ny frihed, som hun ikke har kunnet terpe sig til. For første gang oplever Frances ægte venskab, og hvad det vil sige at være sig selv. Men så går podcasten viralt, og alt ændrer sig ... Radio Silence er en sjov, eftertænksom og rørende roman om at turde sige fra og være tro mod sig selv.

Well… this is not the first time I am moved by this author’s simple magic. I left school long time ago, I have other preoccupations than going to uni or not. Not on my plate anymore. Doesn’t matter. This story talked to me anyway in many ways because whatever you are 17-18 years old or not (I am not), what we are talked about here is for everyone, I believe. 

Alice Oseman is, in my opinion so good as making me feel Friendship, love without giving a definition that would set limits to it. And with so much tenderness…I was happy to find here again the « little music » I enjoyed while reading « Loveless » and « Heartstopper ». Like a medecine indeed. 

I am not a mum and never will be, funny enough Frances’s mum is not over developed here but I felt some connection with her, as the mum watching GBBO in unicorn onesee. Maybe I could have been this kind of Mum.

wdym you’re wearing your teenage mutant ninja turtles legging and an oversized band sweatshirt?

★★ // interesting when it deals with the relationship between the characters, but not so much as individuals. often felt preachy and a 101 on the current social media climate of this generation and sexuality. any trace of history (e.g. experience of abuse) of each character felt like a plot device more than a part of their personhood. maybe it’s just not my cup of tea or i’m simply not its target audience.

GODDAMNIT THIS BOOK

I can't believe how much I fell in love with this book. When I picked this out, I wasn't really expecting any mindblowing stuffs about this. I know it got great reviews but I wasn't expecting that I WILL FALL IN LOVE WITH IT'S STORY, CHARACTERS AND THE WHOLE PACKAGE OF IT OH MY GODDDDD HERE COMES MY FEELSSSS

I love the story, characters and dialogues so much. EVERYTHING ABOUT IT WAS SO RELATABLE. So relatable i teared up on some parts. Each characters has their own personality and it was so perfect. The friendships made me ache and made me feel I want those kind of people in my life too. The story oh my, i am so living for it! The internet life was so strong in here. I can feel how I am gonna be obsessed with this book. So funny, heartbreaking, fast paced, #relatable and honestly you all should read this book!

I hope they make this a tv show or a movie or something. Please. Also the night I finished this I tweeted the author and she replied and that made my night.
