Because Radio falls in love with all sorts of people, boys and girls and other genders and … like, aliens and stuff.

Frances manages to convince him to come and stay at her house for Christmas, but when he arrives he goes over the road to talk to his mum and discovers that she has had Brian, Aled's Labrador, put down.Unconditional love, support, and acceptance is such a powerful force, especially being wielded by a parent who has a child unsure of who they are.

I vacationed, I sat on beaches, I looked out train windows onto rainy landscapes with my head resting on my hand, other tropes about thinking. This book is about Aled and Frances friendship, and the podcast Universe City, but it's also about a lot more. Alice is the author of several YA contemporary novels about teenage disasters: SOLITAIRE (published when she was 19), RADIO SILENCE, I WAS BORN FOR THIS, and LOVELESS (a New York Times bestseller). she wrote it while still in University, at a school she chose because of its academic qualities, pursuing a subject she chose because it seemed like the clever thing to study.The most honest and authentic account of modern teenage life that you’ll read this year… outstanding contemporary fiction with appeal to fans of John Green. Oseman's first novel Solitaire received high praise and was hailed as the ' Catcher in the Rye for the Digital Age'.

Radio Silence” tackles the strong bonds of friendships you only seem to have as a teen, it addresses the insecurities of young adults, the urgency and intensity of emotions, it shows that our educational system is far from perfect and that good grades aren’t everything in life, it makes room for individualism and it demonstrates that parents can influence their children in the best but also in the worst way possible. When Frances meets Aled Last, the shy genius behind her favourite podcast, she discovers a new freedom. After reading this book and having such string feelings for it, I cannot wait to read Alice Oseman's other books! When she gets involved in a YouTube podcast that she loves, through making meaningful relationships and valuing art in a new way, she starts to understand that there isn't one right option. It was slower to "get into" at first (than the novellas or Solitaire, where the familiar Tori, Charlie, and Nick are central).People are complex, relationships are complicated and the way to your true self is paved with plenty of seemingly insurmountable obstacles. If something’s hard, if I have to talk to someone about something difficult, I just avoid it and ignore them, as if that’ll make it go away. Alice’s books have won, been shortlisted or nominated for a number of awards, including the YA Book Prize, the Inky Awards, the Carnegie Medal, and the Goodreads Choice Awards.

Detalhe pra quem não está acostumado a comprar edições em paperback em inglês, a qualidade não se compara com as edições brasileiras. She keeps listening to Universe City until one day at the end of January, Aled posts the final Universe City episode with the title "Goodbye" which is just nothing but white noise. Every book I have ever read, listen to me you all should envy this book, because it took my heart away the way none of you ever did! I just couldn't relate at all to the storyline, and the overarching conflict of the characters not wanting to go to college ended up being so flat with such an easy solution--then don't? This is probably the best contemporary book I ever read and considering it’s a genre I rarely dive into this should tell you enough!

Alongside writing and drawing, Alice enjoys playing the piano semi-proficiently, Pokémon games, and purchasing too many Converse.
