“Hello. I hope somebody is listening.”

-Radio Silence, Alice Oseman

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.

The intense urge to redye my hair for the second time this month, yet another shade of pink, so I can have pastel pink hair…

I mean, I’ve always WANTED pastel pink hair and never got around to it but…now I REALLY want it—

Help—

Does anyone else imagine Radio (maybe at the live event, idk—) singing this song???

Maybe it’s the subject matter, or the fact that the voice is transposed, but I can SO imagine him and his guitar, honestly they would be so cool singing this and I just love the thought.

Protect Nick Nelson at all costs I swear—

mY ALICE OSEMAN BOOKSET CAME IN THE MAIL SO NOW I CAN READ IWBFT, YEEEEEEEES—

Cuteness. That’s literally all I have to say, cuteness—

I am such a Tori Spring Kinnie—and some of it is so coincidental and not even on purpose (all of these were preexisting before I read Solitaire):

Favorite drink: lemonade (preferably in a can)

Least favorite book: Catcher in the rye

Hair: shoulder length and black

Both my younger sibling and I have mental health issues, not diving into that but you can imagine

My ex-boyfriend (who I want to stress I had a crush on BEFORE reading solitaire, I don’t want anyone to think I did solely for the kin): ….his name was Micheal. He had glasses and is a nerd and is way taller than me, hates school, and is good at ice skating cause his mom was an instructor

Does that thing where I listen to one song on repeat until I’m sick of it

I care a lot about things to the point of self destruction (I will say that)

I also dislike school and find the idea of college questioning and somewhat unnecessary

One of my best friends has purple hair

Im sure there’s more that I’ll think of later, but those are the biggest ‘huh…’ ones I could think of at the moment. The biggest ‘no’s though are that, I’m a bit more expressive with my emotions, I’m not British, and I’m a senior instead of a junior in school (13th year instead of 12th for anyone British, idk—)

But the way I see it: I am an (not the) ultimate Tori Spring kinnie and I think my ex-boyfriend might just secretly be Micheal Holden—

(see above for no-I-did-not-date-him-because-of-this)

Thought for the day: Why the heck are there white pumpkins, and why do we not carve them?

VERY TEMPTED TO MAKE A “POV You’re at The Ark’s Concert” PLAYLIST W/ CROWD AMBIENCE AND POST IT ON YOUTUBE AND HAVE THIS BE ONE OF THE SONGS FOR IDK WHAT REASON
