One of my favourite things about the book is the fact that aled and frances do not share a romantic relationship in any way. radio silence is one of her favourite books, and she was a massive influence in my decision to buy and read radio silence. i follow a booktuber who’s known as paperbackdreams, or kat. as a reader who has experienced similar things, i was able to relate to carys and aled.Īll in all, the book deals with many issues and handles them quite well. carol takes away all privileges if she doesn’t approve of marks they receive. carys and aled are made to feel as though they have nothing to offer if they don’t do well academically. One of the more mature themes radio silence deals with is a different form of abuse. aled doesn’t want to go to university - he wants to continue working on universe city.įrances originally applies to university to study english literature, but after certain events take place, she discovers she wants to study art. The book covers themes of sexual and romantic orientation, as well as things like university and such. frances likes sci-fi movies, patterned leggings, art and sebastian stan.

frances comes out as bisexual to aled later on in the book. she is shy at first, but when with aled, she tends to be outgoing. he makes her feel as though she’s never experienced true friendship before him.īut then the fragile friendship they share is shattered.įrances is the main character from radio silence. frances discovers she can be herself around aled, more so than any of her other friends. over the summer, they create multiple episodes of universe city, while bonding over random experiences and sharing similar likes and dislikes.

this starts a friendship between the two. One day, when drunk, aled confesses that he is the creator of radio silence. she creates art for the podcast and uploads it to tumblr.įrances is the headgirl of her school, and the headboy, daniel jung, has a friend from the boys’ secondary, aled last, who happens to visit the school the very night that frances is asked to be an official artist for the podcast. frances is obsessed with a podcast on youtube called universe city. the book centers around frances janvier, a british girl in year 11.
