![]() Did I lose you already? What I’m trying to say is that this book is timeless because it speaks to every teenager and young adult that ever went through adolescence. Truth be told, it’s more than the voice of a generation, it’s the voice of many generations that all went through the same thing. XD Alice Oseman’s book is amazing, epic, brilliant and most of all it’s relatable af!Īs an author it’s not easy to capture the voice of a generation but I think Oseman did it masterfully. I had no idea what all the fuss was about but three years later and countless books in between I finally get it. When I joined goodreads back in 2017 “Radio Silence” was all over my feed and people were raving about it like crazy. Ever.I'm not even sure what else to say other than I thoroughly enjoyed this and I highly recommend it, especially if you're about to go off to college or are currently in college.I think by now this quote made its way into the most epic quotes of all time and I can totally understand all the hype this book got. Not only do I find the themes of this book incredibly important, but Aled and Frances' purely platonic friendship and the intense love they have for each other makes this possibly my favorite friendship I have ever read. It's about diverging from the path paved for you and doing something that truly makes you happy. It's about the academic pressure teenagers are put through to get into a good college in order to be as successful as possible, even if that means sacrificing their passions and everything that is important to them. Not only that, but I also think high school students about to go off to college and even people currently in college will relate to this book and find at least a small part of themselves in it.This is a beautiful story about friendship and finding your own path in life even if it differs from the path you were told you needed to take to succeed. What I can say is that this book and it's message is incredibly important to me. It also cut me deep.So, simply saying I enjoyed this doesn't really express my feelings adequately and I'm not sure if I even have the capacity to explain how much this book means to me. When it comes to Frances, my experience with high school and preparing for college was slightly less intense than hers but I still found myself relating to her experience a lot. ![]() When it comes to Aled, I can't relate to his relationship with his mother but I can DEFINITELY relate to his experience with being at university and some of the feelings he had for it, but mostly his reaction to being there. So, I'm just going to say this:I relate to Frances and Aled a lot and I have so much love for them and so many feelings about them. I've been thinking about what I want to say in my review for this book all day and honestly? I stayed up until 5 am this morning finishing this book and I still don't know how to put all my feelings into words.
