Radio Silence

I thought this story was incredibly engaging and compelling, even reading this as a 30-year-old. These characters had a lot of depth and felt like real, complete people. Ultimately, this is a coming of age story about characters who feel like a path has been traced for them, but they have lost themselves in the process of doing “what's expected from them.” This novel also explores topics like identity, sexuality, and friendship. As a YA novel, I think it is very successful and delivers a powerful message to young people. It made me laugh. It made me cry. And it was definitely a page-turner. Alice doesn't miss, doesn't she?
