Summary

From critically acclaimed author Alice Oseman comes a smartly crafted contemporary YA novel， perfect for readers who love Rainbow Rowell’s Fangirl。 This is an utterly captivating and authentic new teen novel from the author of Solitaire。 Frances Janvier spends most of her time studying。 Everyone knows Aled Last as that quiet boy who gets straight As。 You probably think that they are going to fall in love or something。 Since he is a boy and she is a girl。 They don’t。 They make a podcast。 In a world determined to shut them up， knock them down， and set them on a cookie cutter life path， Frances and Aled struggle to find their voices over the course of one life-changing year。 Will they have the courage to show everyone who they really are？ Or will they be met with radio silence？

this book made me feel just a little bit better about being alive

My goodness， at this point I’m not sure I can describe in words how much I loved this book。 I think that sometimes books like this don’t need tons of words of explanation， just that it made me feel less alone。 I felt heard， seen， loved。 All of the characters had amazing depth， voicing so many of my thoughts that I either didn’t realize or sometimes don’t have the courage or energy to articulate。 Having people in this world that care about you so much is such an amazing feeling and experience。 Th My goodness， at this point I’m not sure I can describe in words how much I loved this book。 I think that sometimes books like this don’t need tons of words of explanation， just that it made me feel less alone。 I felt heard， seen， loved。 All of the characters had amazing depth， voicing so many of my thoughts that I either didn’t realize or sometimes don’t have the courage or energy to articulate。 Having people in this world that care about you so much is such an amazing feeling and experience。 This book shows the true power of friendship。It is so comforting knowing that so many of my feelings throughout high school about college， finding myself and what I like， friendships， trying to be real， and finding people you never ever want to let go of is a feeling that all of us have。 I guess this books just makes me feel known and seen。 Not a lot of books can do that。 The voice is so honest and real。 I’m grateful I have gotten to experience this book。 We all need a place and a story where we feel a little less alone。 Thank you Frances， Aled， Daniel， Raine， and Carys。 You all mean a lot to me。 。。。more

I finished this book in one sitting， I could not put it down。 I didn’t exactly know what to expect going into this but wow it was amazing！ I already loved Hearstoppers by Alice Oseman and reading this has solidified the fact that I need to read all of her backlist immediately。 If I could give this book more than 5 stars I would！

Olá。 Espero que tenha alguém ouvindo。。。Esse é um dos melhores YA contemporâneos que eu já li， eu conhecia o trabalho da Alice por Heartstopper， que é tão maravilhoso， e por isso sempre fiquei com receio de ler os romances dela e não serem tão incríveis como a HQ， mas como eu estava enganado， a história é incrível， ela consegue construir personagens incríveis e muito reais， o que torna muito fácil você se relacionar com eles， e sempre tem muita diversidade no trabalho dela。Alice Oseman é incrível Olá。 Espero que tenha alguém ouvindo。。。Esse é um dos melhores YA contemporâneos que eu já li， eu conhecia o trabalho da Alice por Heartstopper， que é tão maravilhoso， e por isso sempre fiquei com receio de ler os romances dela e não serem tão incríveis como a HQ， mas como eu estava enganado， a história é incrível， ela consegue construir personagens incríveis e muito reais， o que torna muito fácil você se relacionar com eles， e sempre tem muita diversidade no trabalho dela。Alice Oseman é incrível。 。。。more

**4。5I’m not sure how to describe it。 So many things were happening but at its core it’s a simple story。 I guess I just felt seen so many of the things that the characters were saying and thinking felt like they’d come straight out of my head。 A lot of there fears and insecurities were the same ones I held。 At the center or the story are the characters。 This is a character driven story for sure so oseman did an amazing job of making us connect to them。 I really loved this book I every time I pic **4。5I’m not sure how to describe it。 So many things were happening but at its core it’s a simple story。 I guess I just felt seen so many of the things that the characters were saying and thinking felt like they’d come straight out of my head。 A lot of there fears and insecurities were the same ones I held。 At the center or the story are the characters。 This is a character driven story for sure so oseman did an amazing job of making us connect to them。 I really loved this book I every time I picked it up couldn’t put it down。 。。。more

Can you be in love with a book？Radio Silence， ma'am， sir， anything or nothing in between， please marry me。For real though， one of the only times a book lives up to the hype; thought it would be another "A Darker Shade of Magic" experience。 Can you be in love with a book？Radio Silence， ma'am， sir， anything or nothing in between， please marry me。For real though， one of the only times a book lives up to the hype; thought it would be another "A Darker Shade of Magic" experience。 。。。more

This was a very quick read。 I enjoyed the different types of LGBTQ+ representation in this book and the friendship between the characters。 However， the writing style is very simplistic and I wasn't really interested in the "internet fame" part of things。 I also found that the plot was very uneven， it fluctuated between nothing happening and over the top drama， this was a bit jarring to me。 Overall， it is a sweet story about identity， but I didn't enjoy it as much as I expected。 This was a very quick read。 I enjoyed the different types of LGBTQ+ representation in this book and the friendship between the characters。 However， the writing style is very simplistic and I wasn't really interested in the "internet fame" part of things。 I also found that the plot was very uneven， it fluctuated between nothing happening and over the top drama， this was a bit jarring to me。 Overall， it is a sweet story about identity， but I didn't enjoy it as much as I expected。 。。。more

"how can we be together here， now， when you are so far away？ when you are so far ago？"i can see why kat from paperbackdreams loves this book so much。as someone who is now halfway through university and struggled with knowing what i wanted to do with my life （i switched from social work to english this last semester）， i saw so much of myself in frances。 from the study machine to the hyperfixation on a piece of media that made me feel less alone in the world to the place in the lgbt+ community "how can we be together here， now， when you are so far away？ when you are so far ago？"i can see why kat from paperbackdreams loves this book so much。as someone who is now halfway through university and struggled with knowing what i wanted to do with my life （i switched from social work to english this last semester）， i saw so much of myself in frances。 from the study machine to the hyperfixation on a piece of media that made me feel less alone in the world to the place in the lgbt+ community， there was so much overlap between the two of us。the characters were all so believable （even down to frances' cool ass mom）。 i loved that frances' bisexuality was not her main trait， which is what happens a lot in media that portrays lgbt+ teens。 the intensity of aled and frances' relationship made so much sense and i'm glad that this wasn't a romantic love story。 i think alice oseman did an incredible job at writing a boy/girl relationship that didn't end in romance。 they work so well as friends and i loved their story。i literally cannot wait to read more of oseman's books UGH ！ 。。。more

This book was cute and not a *complete* waste of time buuuuuut I genuinely do not understand the hype at all。 It all was so。。。 surface level？ One dimensional？ Bland？ I don’t know。 I think the only character I liked and actually felt like a person was Daniel。 I wanted to love this book like so many others did， and there were aspects I appreciated: representation， the main characters do not， in fact， fall in love， and I can see how someone would find comfort in the main themes of the story。 But ov This book was cute and not a *complete* waste of time buuuuuut I genuinely do not understand the hype at all。 It all was so。。。 surface level？ One dimensional？ Bland？ I don’t know。 I think the only character I liked and actually felt like a person was Daniel。 I wanted to love this book like so many others did， and there were aspects I appreciated: representation， the main characters do not， in fact， fall in love， and I can see how someone would find comfort in the main themes of the story。 But overall I was very underwhelmed and did not care about the characters， and found myself cringing at certain moments。 I also wholeheartedly agree with what I see in many other reviews; so much in this book was said or described rather than shown， including， in my opinion， pretty much the entirety of Frances’s personality。 。。。more

it was so sad。 like bone-chillingly sad， which i was not expecting。 that's not necessarily a bad thing， but like， it was just really sad。 i love aled and frances and i relate to them on another level。 i just really appreciated the critique of the education system， and the platonic boy-girl friendship， and the pop culture references。 i just really love this book。 it was so sad。 like bone-chillingly sad， which i was not expecting。 that's not necessarily a bad thing， but like， it was just really sad。 i love aled and frances and i relate to them on another level。 i just really appreciated the critique of the education system， and the platonic boy-girl friendship， and the pop culture references。 i just really love this book。 。。。more

Man I was genuinely excited for this book because the hype was unreal。 In the end I decided to pick it up because I heard that asexuality was being discussed， and you don’t see those often， do you？ But it’s only like a page or two， so what happened there？ Like， it’s mostly gay because the writer probably wanted to cater to the LGBTQ community but come on。Aside from that， the characters are too bland imo， sure they’re portrayed as the outcast but that’s about it。 There’s not much of a character。I Man I was genuinely excited for this book because the hype was unreal。 In the end I decided to pick it up because I heard that asexuality was being discussed， and you don’t see those often， do you？ But it’s only like a page or two， so what happened there？ Like， it’s mostly gay because the writer probably wanted to cater to the LGBTQ community but come on。Aside from that， the characters are too bland imo， sure they’re portrayed as the outcast but that’s about it。 There’s not much of a character。I feel like Carys needed more page time， nuff said。 。。。more

Not bad， a pretty accurate depiction of teenagers， their thoughts and stuff。 I would've loved this a lot more if I had read this while I was still in school。 I read the Heartstopper books before this and did Aled appear in them because he sounds familiar。。。。 Nevermind， I looked it up and yep he did appear in the comics hahah。 Not bad， a pretty accurate depiction of teenagers， their thoughts and stuff。 I would've loved this a lot more if I had read this while I was still in school。 I read the Heartstopper books before this and did Aled appear in them because he sounds familiar。。。。 Nevermind， I looked it up and yep he did appear in the comics hahah。 。。。more

Wow， once I made it like a fourth of the way through， I couldn’t put this down。 I originally planned to pace myself and read a few chapters a day but I just binge-read this and holy hell。 There’s just。。。something so gripping about this story。 I can’t explain it， but honestly there were just so many good things about this story。 For example， the lgbt rep and the diversity of the characters？ Bomb。 I loved Frances。 She was just so endearing and I truly appreciated the platonic love she had for her Wow， once I made it like a fourth of the way through， I couldn’t put this down。 I originally planned to pace myself and read a few chapters a day but I just binge-read this and holy hell。 There’s just。。。something so gripping about this story。 I can’t explain it， but honestly there were just so many good things about this story。 For example， the lgbt rep and the diversity of the characters？ Bomb。 I loved Frances。 She was just so endearing and I truly appreciated the platonic love she had for her friends。 It’s just hard to come by these days， especially in the contemporary genre because unless it’s life/death people really don’t care to be like I CARE ABOUT YOU MY FRIEND。 And we just need more of that。 And I absolutely love that our main characters didn’t fall in love with each other but they did love each other。 It was just—perfection。 Also I loved how their sexualities weren't like 90% of their personality although it was still an important part of their characters。 。。。more

I。。。 this was so fucking amazing。 Everything about this book was so fucking cute and just so。。 LOUD。 I wish I had read this book at a younger age， I truly think it would have changed my life。 I would not be where I am today if I had read this book my junior or senior year of high school。 It also oddly showed me some of the qualities I want to have as a parent one day。 Frances’ mom is literally the MOST PERFECT mom I have ever read in a YA book and I hope to be just an ounce of her one day lmfao。 I。。。 this was so fucking amazing。 Everything about this book was so fucking cute and just so。。 LOUD。 I wish I had read this book at a younger age， I truly think it would have changed my life。 I would not be where I am today if I had read this book my junior or senior year of high school。 It also oddly showed me some of the qualities I want to have as a parent one day。 Frances’ mom is literally the MOST PERFECT mom I have ever read in a YA book and I hope to be just an ounce of her one day lmfao。 Wow。 I want more of Aled and Frances and Daniel and Raine and Carys。 I want MOOOORe。 Fuck me why did I wait so long to read this？ THANK YOU KAT I LOVE YOU 。。。more

I didn't think I would like this at first， I don't like YA usually and thought it was going to be very cheesy。 But then it went in a different direction and I really enjoyed it。 There is good LGBT representation and the characters are likeable and well developed。 I would definitely recommend this to anyone and look forward to reading more from the author。 I didn't think I would like this at first， I don't like YA usually and thought it was going to be very cheesy。 But then it went in a different direction and I really enjoyed it。 There is good LGBT representation and the characters are likeable and well developed。 I would definitely recommend this to anyone and look forward to reading more from the author。 。。。more
