![]() If you’re looking for an ice breaker read and don’t want to put too much thought into something than throw on this audio book and check out the decent story, but in my opinion if you’re looking for something captivating then look somewhere else because you will not find that here. 'Radio Silence' by Alice Oseman 'The absolute scarcity of asexual representation was one of the reasons I was so determined to write it into Radio Silence,' Alice Oseman tells Bustle. I think if it was a 90 minute movie I would’ve enjoyed it more, but instead I spent over 500 minutes wondering what all the hype was about. The writing was a bit sloppy, I didn’t care for the main character Frances and it was way longer than it should have been. I even caught myself checking the time to see if it was almost over. In fact, the only time I was unable to stop listening was towards the end because I honestly just wanted to get it over with so I start something else. Maybe my expectations were too high, because it never grabbed me and I found myself taking many breaks from it. While this book plays into the 'asexual villain' trope, it does do an excellent job depicting what it might feel like to be an aromantic asexual, and the character never once apologizes for it or feels that something is wrong with her. I went into this blind because of the amazing reviews it had received and felt that I couldn’t be disappointed. So, I will not rate this higher than a 3 and I feel like I’m being generous with a 3. ![]() I simply felt no attachment to it at all, it wasn’t a great book, It was just ok. I did not find this relatable, and not because I haven’t gone through the things the characters deal with because I have. I found a few that seemed to agree with some opinions I had, but still rated it a 4 out of 5 because of how relatable it was for them. So, clearly my opinion is not a very popular one. It was just ok.įirst off, I want to say that I’m big on checking out reviews for books after I read them and I could only find 1 that agreed with me.
