Personally, I think that anyone, ages 12 and up, can read this book. Alice Oseman is a queer author who has written one book previous to Radio Silence, Solitaire. Radio Silence is a contemporary young adult fiction novel written by Alice Oseman and winner of the 2017 Inky awards which can be found here. Their problems and hidden depths can relate to the definition of the term radio silence. Frances’s hidden self, Aled’s pain, Daniel’s confusion about his relationship with Aled, and Carys’ disappearance. In some ways, they are being silent about something that they have trouble sharing with even those that care the most about them.
Each character in their own way is hiding something. The title Radio Silence in a nutshell would be the name of Aled Lasts’ alias for his podcast Universe City. It’s only now, after having read the full book, that I remember a certain English lesson where we had to analyze a book title before we read it and all the information you can get about a book just by looking at the title. When I first looked at the title, I could only remember faint remnants of the definition, a time during which it’s only silence.
