From School Library Journal

Gr 9 Up—British teen Frances Janvier is a study machine, focused on doing whatever it takes to get into Cambridge. Her public persona is academic nerd, but in private, she is a rebel. Frances is a fan of offbeat podcasts, and her favorite by far is Universe City, whose agender main character (who is also the show's creator) goes by the name of Radio Silence. Frances has joined a fandom Tumblr account, using the moniker Toulouse, and occasionally posts sketches that reflect how she thinks the characters and settings might look. When she receives a message from the creator asking if she is willing to provide graphics for the show, she can't believe it. Frances is even more dumbfounded when she discovers that the mysterious Radio Silence is, in reality, Aled Last, who lives directly across the street from her. Likewise, Aled can't believe that his graphic artist, Toulouse, is Frances. They become fast friends and spend the majority of the summer working together on the podcast. But as the start of Frances's senior year in high school and Aled's first year at university approach, a revelation changes their close relationship. With their friendship in ruins and Aled miles away and spiraling into a dangerous depression, Frances must face long-buried fears and desires to find a way to save him. Oseman is a master at combining sardonic wit with angst to create believable characters and a compelling contemporary story that will resonate with teens. VERDICT A top pick for any YA collection.—Cary Frostick, formerly at Mary Riley Styles Public Library, Falls Church, VA

Review

“Oseman vividly illustrates that the world and its technologies offer opportunities for connection and fulfillment that go far beyond traditional definitions of success.” (Publishers Weekly (starred review))“An intense, highly engaging, well–plotted story of relationships, explorations into gay and bisexual identities, family trauma, a straight-jacket education system, and, mostly, kids yearning to be their truest selves despite it all.” (Booklist (starred review))“Keenly intelligent. A smart, timely outing.” (Kirkus Reviews)“Oseman is a master at combining sardonic wit with angst to create believable characters and a compelling contemporary story that will resonate with teens. VERDICT: A top pick for any YA collection.” (School Library Journal)Praise for SOLITAIRE: “A fascinating debut from an author to watch.” (ALA Booklist)“Oseman’s debut could put her among the great young adult fiction authors.” (Voice of Youth Advocates (VOYA))“Tori’s voice makes this story into a poignant yet blackly funny and even lively emotional journey. A deeply absorbing read.” (Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books)“Oseman proves herself a clever, witty writer.” (Publishers Weekly)“Honest and authentic… with appeal to fans of John Green.” (Bookseller (London))“In [Oseman’s] punky, depressive, epigrammatic, mordant heroine Tori Spring we have a Holden Caulfield for the internet age.” (The Times (London))

I love Alice Oseman's previous book Solitaire and I love Radio Silence just as much. One thing I love about Oseman's books is how realistic her teenage characters are. It's refreshing to read a book about teenagers where they actually sound and act like teenagers. (It helps that she is only a few years older than her characters.) I also love the diversity in this book in terms of both race and sexuality. It is something that is very much needed in books for all ages.One of my favorite things in this book is the friendship between Frances and Aled. They are both so sweet and wonderful and their friendship was great. I loved how it helped both characters grow. I especially loved their text conversations, they always made me smile.I didn't expect to love the side characters as much as I did. I also didn't expect to hate a character as much as I did. Every character is three-dimensional and so interesting to read about. It's hard not to care for them (except for the one).I appreciate how Oseman included an emotionally abusive relationship in this book. In other books I've read that mentioned abuse it was almost always physical abuse. Emotional abuse can be just as damaging so it's good it's talked about with the same level of seriousness.I did have one problem with the book and that is that the beginning is a bit slow. The chapters throughout the book were short so that made it easier to keep reading, but I felt like it took a bit to get the story really moving. However, once the story gets going I couldn't put it down.Overall, Radio Silence is a wonderful story full of laughs, heartbreak, and beautiful friendship. I can't wait to read it again.

“Hello. I hope somebody is listening.”Be prepared for a crazy amount of quotes.So, I didn't expect to finish the last 300 pages of this book last night. But I did. I also didn't expect to be completely drowned in this story. It took my feet and pulled and kept on pulling. A day later and I've yet to reach the bottom. That is how much it stayed with me. I'm beginning feel bad for people who haven't read this yet.I don't even know where to start. *deep breath* Okay...So, this is one of those books that I completely thought was different than it turned out to be. But it was a good surprise. Like Christmas morning and when you find a dollar in your pants pocket. The characters drive this story along. Oh, did I add that all of the main characters are queer? Not only that but there is so much diversity I almost ran outside and screamed for an AMEN.There were so many geek references in this book. Game of Thrones. Scott Pilgrim. SPIRITED AWAY. On top of some pretty awesome music selections. I feel like I need to be best friends with the author. Like now.The themes in this story include depression, sexual confusion, online bullying, and abuse but on top of that, you have friendships that wild horses could not pull apart, platonic love, long lost love, typical teenage problems like school and whether to check your Tumbler or not which made it so relatable. And even though Frances' mother was awesome, not all of the parentals figures were so understanding. Which is something a lot of teenagers can relate to for sure.“I stopped speaking. There was no point trying to argue. There was no way she was going to even attempt to listen to me.They never do, do they? They never even try to listen to you.”I almost forgot to talk about the individual protagonists as a whole. So, there's Frances, and she's obsessed with a podcast called University City which is about a person stuck in a monster-ridden city set in the future. She meets Aled, who happens ot be the creator of the podcast. Cool? Yep. Only he doesn't want the world to know that. He is a very private with some heavy family drama.“...it felt like we were friends. Friends who barely knew anything about each other except the other's most private secret.”It's a slow burn friendship and THANK THE SKIES, there is no romantic love between them. They have a beautiful, soul-mate type connection that feels so real and it makes me yearn for something like that.“And I’m platonically in love with you.”“That was literally the boy-girl version of ‘no homo,’ but I appreciate the sentiment.”Without giving too much away, Aled's podcast and his persona, Radio Silence hit me in the feels. When it all comes together, and we realize who he's speaking to and how deep his agony goes, it just ripped out my heart.“I wonder - if nobody is listening to my voice, am I even making any sound at all?"Sometimes, I think we all feel that way, and Radio's pain is our pain. This book was written for you and for me.

The book centers around two friends, one who is the anonymous Creator behind a podcast and one (the narrator) who is a fan of the podcast. It's a very fandom-y story at times, though not in a love letter to fandom kind of way; you both see love and support from fans but also harassment and doxing. Despite that, there's definitely a sense of the creation of this podcast and its associated art being home for the narrator and her best friend.A big point of the book is that there's not one best path for everyone after secondary school. "University isn't the right next step for everyone, even people who get good grades" is probably the most key message here, and I thought it was handled well.I read this largely because there's a demisexual character. There's a conversation between the demi character and said character's significant other about what asexuality is and isn't (which is well done), and the word demisexual is used on page. I have conflicted feelings about this conversation, but I still appreciate the representation.As complicated as it gets, I love the friendship between Frances and Aled. The messages between them in particular are gold.

I binge-read this at like midnight and it was probably one of the best decisions I made. The character journeys/relationship in this book felt natural. There was a wonderful m/f platonic relationship at the core which was so nice to read. The little excerpts of Universe City in every chapter really gave the podcast some life. I wish I could write down everything I loved about this book

I liked the fanfic elements of this, and the characters were A+. Varied, interesting and I wasn't sure where the story might go next. However, the black moment suffering part lasted for too much of the story and I feel that Frances wasn't the right protagonist for this story- the story was really about Aled and the book centered around his journey, but it was told by a side character, which was a little disorienting especially for the large part of the book when she didn't know what was going on with Aled. Great themes and characters but wrong choice of protagonist and a plot that felt a bit unbalanced. I might try others from this author though. 3.5 stars
