Product Information

Firstly, everyone was just gonna get drunk, which I could do perfectly well by myself in my lounge while watching YouTube videos instead of having to worry about catching the last train home or avoiding sexual assault. First of all, there is a purely platonic friendship between a girl and a a boy and it's emphasised right from the start that they're not going to fall in love. Society’s expectations, your parent’s expectations, your academic leader’s expectations, all of this can feel like the weight of the world on your shoulders. Detalhe pra quem não está acostumado a comprar edições em paperback em inglês, a qualidade não se compara com as edições brasileiras. This book is for all my fellow sarcastic, goal-oriented overachievers with unreliable self-esteem, oddly specific obsessions, and unrealistic dreams.

And I’m very privileged to have the education I have had, to go the college I went to, and to have the job that I currently have. in fact, I bought a load of Alice Oseman stories when I started reading the Heartstopper: Volume One series back in 2020, pre Covid. Aled's story about his mum burning Carys' clothes is the piece of the puzzle that finally helps Frances to work out February Friday because of references to fire in Universe City.i felt myself remembering some of that "what am i going to do with my life" angst that i had back then but it's hard to truly relate 5 years later.

Radio Silence is a Good Read as a story, for sure, and read as one part of Oseman's work, offers further richness. Carys ran away from home after her year 11 results day, perhaps because of her poor relationship with her mum and her mum's reaction to her terrible grades. Most YA contamporaries feel the need to remain in these bondaries, while this novel just does its own thing. The million copy bestseller, A Little Life by Hanya Yanagihara, is an immensely powerful and heartbreaking novel of brotherly love and.Because school isn’t for everyone, and college isn’t for everyone, but validity and acceptance are for everyone.

Various important themes regarding lgbt, mental health, academic choices, physical and emotional abuse, friendship, social anxiety issues, how social media affects the ones who are handling them have been represented so well. I also think the explanation for the main dilemma throughout the story ended up being too simplistic for the sake of plot and conflict, so it didn’t quite pay off the climax that the book was amping up. Between the constant emotional abuse of his mother and the personal attacks of the fandom it would have been hard for anyone to keep on swimming.I truly believe books can have healing powers, and Radio Silence healed some of my wounds that I thought stopped bleeding years ago. As a teen a lot of us are insecure and act differently when they are around their friends so this was such a great way to represent that sentiment. Every book I have ever read, listen to me you all should envy this book, because it took my heart away the way none of you ever did!
