The romance in radio silence
Okay, so I was eating and started thinking about the romance in radio silence and how well it's written.
So I've read a few books in my life and some of them have romance out of nowhere, which kind of swallowed the plot and made me lose interest in the book. I like romance, but if I'm reading something and I don't expect romance, I probably don't want it.
I was reading one book a few years ago where it turned into a romance out of nowhere and the characters had no and I mean no chemistry, what so ever and they just kissed and I ended up not reading the rest of the book because the romance ruined it for me.
It was following the main protaganist and it was written where we, the readers, could see what she was thinking, but she never thought about the other main character like that, they just suddenly kissed and BOOM romance!
It was a fantastic book, but I never read it to the end, since it just became annoying with the change of plot.
Now, let's talk about Radio silence.
In radio silence, Aled and Daniel's relationship is hidden for quite long and it does kind of come out of nowhere, but it's written in a way that doesn't swallow the whole plot. It's in the backround and it stays in the backround, since the book's point wasn't romance.
Daniel and Aled's relationship is quite relevant in the book and brings a lot to both characters, but neither of them as characters don't bring it up and it isn't brought up if it's not the point. Neither of them talk about them being in a relationship until much much later on and it isn't brought up as just a romance that doesn't really bring the plot anywhere.
And on top of that, they have pretty bad moments where they both fear the other is going to leave the other and it's not solved without any problems happening after, since people and relationship aren't simple, after all.
As Radio silence isn't from Aled's nor Daniel's pov, we don't hear about their thoughts for each other until they talk about it to Frances which is after Frances already found out about it. Even when Frances found out in the book, she didn't think about it for long enough to make it annoying. She saw the two kiss at Aled's birthday, but that didn't evolve into the two characters ending up as "the couple" of the book.
I know it's different to have the main characters be in love rather than a main character and a more "side" character, but I wanted to talk about this. But from that, we get to my second point;
The romance between Frances and Carys.
Radio silence is from Frances' pov and we hear her thoughts through out the book. Her having been in love with Carys was in her thoughts and we know that, so it didn't feel like it was sudden and came out of the wood work without any warning what so ever.
I wasn't expecting that to be a part of the book when I originally read it, but it didn't end up overshadowing the whole plot about Frances and Aled's friendship. Frances had feeling for Carys, it came as a surprise, but it didn't become the whole plot.
The feelings or lack their off is mentioned through out the book, but it never felt overwhelming or overpowering with the rest of the book, it was a crush on your best friend who ended up not reciprocating and the difficulty of feeling like your feelings are something you should feel guilty for.
It's complex and not something that gets resolved with just a kiss.
Frances kissed Carys, she didn't feel the same then ran away before they got it solved. Later on, Carys kisses Frances who doesn't feel the same anymore, but it's not thought of something that destroyed their relationship.
In conclusion, I love the way romance is written in radio silence and how it's shown in a very realistic light.
Radio silence's whole plot is about love, it's different forms and how it effects people and leaves a mark on them.

Just finished reading Radio Silence
I connected with Aled so goddamn much (Frances as well, I don't really have close friends and I am weird af lol)
Having an emotionally abusive parent but them appearing nice to their friends when in reality they are the opposite when you are alone with them or at home..... it's so hard to read, it hurts
#should've read the trigger warnings#it was hard to read ngl#poor carys and aled like jfc#i need therapy after reading that#radio silence#radio silence spoilers#aled last#mine

Installment 5 of 5 of me reading Radio Silence by Alice Oseman.
I finished the book a while ago and totally forgot to post about it.
I love it!!
The characters were amazing– except for Aled's mother, fuck her all the way to hell. The relationships that bloomed between the different kids were great and so was the back story between Frances and Carys.
I especially enjoyed the way the rescue mission from uni progressed. The angst had me angsting and the fluffy good stuff had me fluffing.
All in all I would recommend reading Radio Silence if you like a good coming of age story. Be aware that topics like parental ab*se and mental health problems definitely do make an appearance, if those are things that can trigger you. Hit me up if you need more details to be sure this is a safe read for you :)

‘i wonder - if nobody is listening to my voice, am i making any sound at all?’
i just finished ‘radio silence’. it was an amazing book just as i had hoped. it made me cry a bunch but also put this big smile on my face many many times. i love frances and i love aled, i really love all the main characters. (but i do believe in carol last inferiority.) i love the way alice has made all the characters so realistic but also at the same time they are all different, they all have depth.
i also love how all the books sort of connect a little bit. like for example in the end when frances meets tori. and we find out that frances was the girl dressed up as dr who at the solitaire party. it isn’t a major factor in the books but it just makes it feel more special in a way.
#also frances’s mum#is literally the best mum ever ??#radio silence#radio silence spoilers#alice oseman#osemanverse#frances janvier#aled last#carol last#carys last#daniel jun#books#bookblr

aled explained asexuality.
aled explained demisexuality.
aled explained asexuality comes in different forms, and people have different experiences -- it's not the same for everyone.
i loved that

Radio Silence spoilers:
I just found a tweet from when I was reading Radio Silence that quotes:
"There was a to-do list blackboard and a chores rota in the kitchen […] and greying labrador named Brian who loped after us until we went upstairs". Nooo, the only thing I know about Radio Silence is that something happens to the dog. Stop this, I want to leave. 😭😭
and it hurts.
#how dare you Alice Oseman#we don't talk about what happened to Brian :(#radio silence spoilers#radio silence#frances janvier#aled last#carol last#osemanverse#alice oseman
