Hello. I Hope Somebody Is Listening.

“Hello. I hope somebody is listening.”

-Radio Silence, Alice Oseman

i just discovered this and now it will be all that is in my mind for the rest of eternity

Me: *explaining the plot of Radio Silence and how amazing it is and how much I love it*

My friend: “Hey, I saw a movie like this….RADIO REBEL—“

Apparently this is Aled now in her mind, I’m crying—

I JUST finished Radio Silence.

Oh. My. God.

That was beautiful, I literally can’t come up with a better word for how perfect it was than: Beautiful.

The way Alice Oseman writes first person is stunning, I’m not even a die-hard-study-needs-to-get-into-good-college girl, but I am a senior in high school who doesn’t really see a point in going to college but doesn’t know what she wants to do with her life and—characters like Frances, Aled, Raine, Carys, even Daniel, spoke to me. On a whole ‘nother level, I connected to so many characters in this book and TRULY felt like I wasn’t alone. The plot was amazing—‘simple’ I suppose, but oh my god. I could see it all clearly, and I was very invested in how everything turned out.

And SPOILERS RIGHT HERE, that end scene, when the announcer is announcing Aled and he and Frances are backstage, my heart was stuttering with nervous excitement right along with them. I was listening to “It’s All So Incredibly Loud” by The Glass Animals as I read it, and oh my god. This book felt like a dream come true. Like a longing for more, a creative supernova exploding, a painful ache when a friend moves away, the crushing rush of LIFE when something goes right—this is my new comfort book. That can be very much concluded.

Radio Silence by Alice Oseman is a freaking masterpiece in my opinion.

Thought for the day: Who discovered that tomatoes could be made into ketchup, how did that happen?
