The second novel by the phenomenally talented author of Solitaire, Alice Oseman – the most talked-about YA writer right now.

What if everything you set yourself up to be was wrong?

Frances has always been a study machine with one goal, elite university. Nothing will stand in her way; not friends, not a guilty secret – not even the person she is on the inside.

But when Frances meets Aled, the shy genius behind her favourite podcast, she discovers a new freedom. He unlocks the door to Real Frances and for the first time she experiences true friendship, unafraid to be herself. Then the podcast goes viral and the fragile trust between them is broken.

Caught between who she was and who she longs to be, Frances’ dreams come crashing down. Suffocating with guilt, she knows that she has to confront her past…
She has to confess why Carys disappeared…

Meanwhile at uni, Aled is alone, fighting even darker secrets.

It’s only by facing up to your fears that you can overcome them. And it’s only by being your true self that you can find happiness.

Frances is going to need every bit of courage she has.

A YA coming of age read that tackles issues of identity, the pressure to succeed, diversity and freedom to choose, Radio Silence is a tour de force by the most exciting writer of her generation.

Amo esse livro

Achei esse livro quando estava procurando livros com representatividade ace e devo dizer que adorei.
A escrita da Oseman flui de uma maneira incrível, e a história consegue ser triste ao mesmo tempo que não é triste. Talvez tenha ficado desidratado depois de terminar mas isso não vem ao caso.
O inglês do livro é bdm tranquilo, exceto por alguns termos britânicos que são um tanto quanto incomuns.
Adorei a maneira como ela abordou o tema de ir pra universidade, que é tido para algumas pessoas como a única maneira de alcançar o sucesso na vida. Abre sua mente para diferentes possibilidades, e nos faz perceber que existem várias oportunidades em nossa vida além de se tornar um acadêmico.
