°•book review•°

Hi my dear space readers! How are you?

Firstly, I'll say: this post will have many >MANY< SPOILERS!

It's just a personal opinion about this book that I love so much, and I have no one to talk about, if you want, comment your opinions about it too! Oh, and English isn't my first language, so sorry for any grammatical errors! And sorry for the long post btw🌷

Well, I finished another osemanverse book, Radio silence. And I have many considerations to make.

But first of all I wanted to say WHAT AN AMAZING BOOK. MY GOD ALICE IS A LEGEND! I just love it

So, this book took me much longer to read than it took me Solitarie, even though it was shorter, the beginning of the book took a while to capture me, but as I read and understood Francis's feelings more, seeing the construction From her friendship with Aled, the revelations about Carrys and also the entries into the universe city, I simply fell in love with the book.

I even think that Francis and Aled are my favorite characters.

(I already say that i love this book?)

I was able to identify with Francis (even though my academic life is much more similar to Carys' in terms of grades) and I thought it was really amazing How the author brought up this theme of "do I really have a real personality or do I Am I just pretending to everyone??" this is just incredible.

Besides, reading this book makes me see how HORRIBLE internet fandoms can be. The discovery that RADIO was ALED reminded me a lot of the events in "I was born for this" (another book by the same author)

My memory is horrible, I just know that on one page Aled and Francis were just being happy and a few pages later I was in tears. The scene where Francis says sorry to Aled gave me strong crying spells in the middle of class.......... (In fact my friend who sits next to me started reading this page with me, she told me that "I would never read anything I was reading again because I only read sad things" while he looked at me almost crying)

By the way, Omg, IS SOMEONE PUTTING CAROL LAST'S OLD LADY IN AN ASYLUM??? SHE'S A TERRIBLE MOTHER, MAN SHE KILLED ALED'S DOG, I ALMOST THROW THE BOOK AT THE WALL IN THAT PAGE #ihatethatwoman.

I confess that I miss seeing Aled's view of the events a little, since his only points of view in the book are in the Universe City eps. but I think that at the same time the universe of the city was the only way that Aled had to express himself, and as Daniel says in the book that it seemed that the universe of the city was the only thing that Aled really liked to do, it also gives the feeling that he was “trapped in his own world”, as is also mentioned in the book.

Aled Last shows us even without a POV how depression separates us from others. And how narcissistic mothers ruin their children's mental health (I hate you Caroll)

And Francis shows us how everything other people expect from ourselves shapes our personality. Even though we convince ourselves that we know ourselfs.

One of the phrases I liked most in the book was: "I can take some aggression from time to time. I'm strong. I'm a star. Cyborgs live and fall apart, but I'll never fall apart. Even when the dust of my bones flies over the walls From the city, I'll be living and I'll be swaying, I'll wave and laugh." -universe city ep 132 (book: radio Silencio by Alice oseman)

Sooooooo this is it! Bye space readers! See yaa on another post!✨

*•°LOVELESS°•*-Alice Oseman

°•Book review!•°

Hii my space readers!!! How are you?? Todayyy im gonna talk about loveless! And it will be SO MANY SPOILERS!

TWS: toxic relationships, sensitive themes, existencial crissis, mental breakdowns.... I think?

OKAY I ADMIT. I FORGOT TO WRITE IT BEFORE😭😭😭 I FINISHED THIS BOOK LIKE A WEEK AND HALF AGO. Buuut i hope you like it anyways!<3

---°•*sinopsis*•°--

The book tell us the story of a girl called Georgia, who never fell in love, had a crush or kissed anyone before, But even with all this, she tries to believe that she will find "The one" one day. Well, the book talks about discoveries and shows us Georgia's process of self-acceptance as an aromantic and asexual person. The autor deals with the topic in a light way and with impeccable writing! in addition to many references to musicals and pop culture.

Noowww my vison of the book and story!

Well, frist of all. Me, as an aroace person, was not only able to identify a lot with Georgia's story, I even managed to understand myself more! Since there are many things in the book that I needed to hear, so much so that I could understand that no, there is nothing wrong with me. Besides, it brings such a beautiful reflection of how a friendship is as important as a romantic relationship! like wow this is so beautiful. I needed to hear this so much.

Futhermore, it is very interesting how we approached how the environment in which we live influences us. I see that a lot of people have the mistaken idea that aroace people don't fall in love because they "experienced a bad environment" or that "they didn't find the right person" or they are even labeled as sick by others. What is a big lie!

As seen in the book, Georgia lived in a healthy and happy family, in which romantic relationships were always highly valued and encouraged. And she herself also dreamed a lot about relationships, maybe because of the influence of her family, even so, she mentions in the book that even if she liked to imagine a future marrying someone, she couldn't think of a specific person for that, it was like if it was just a distant dream. Georgia also took refuge a lot in romantic media to feel better about herself. But well, falling in love is very different and I TOTALLY understand when she says that dreaming about love is MUCH BETTER than living in love. like the idea of ​​love in theory is really cool but imagining yourself living it is agonizing (I totally understand you Georgia, I'm like that too😭😭😭😭😭)Besides, when I saw Georgia on the first few pages realizing that she never really liked the guy she'd "liked forever" and freaking out because she realized she invented a crush, it was so incredible and liberating since this has happened to me so many times, I thought I was crazy because of that. This book represented so many feelings I've had and I can say with certainty that it helped me a lot in my discovery and acceptance of being an aromantic person. Just like Georgia, when you spend your whole life longing for something and that's when you realize for the first time that you just can't fit into that something. immediately And as if a feeling came that the world had ended. and following this process of georgia as a character was just liberating. It's beautiful to see, besides this book has an ending that in my opinion is very mature and realistic, it wasn't just a "hi, now that I realize I'm LGBT I love and accept myself". it was an "okay" ending, now that I understand more about the subject and myself I can feel a little better about it. I hope that with time I can be as confident with myself as other people who have come out for a longer time and I'm going to work hard for that!" For me, this was the perfect ending to the book. I really loved it very much

So this book took me a long time to read, because I could only read it during school breaks and when I get home I pass out from sleep. besides being Alice's longest book. Besides, I like to write on page footers and mark them with post it notes (besides being dyslexic, which slows down my reading a lot). but even then I didn't feel like it was a difficult read.

Okay i think my favourite characters are Sunil, Jason, and the Georgia's Cousin (i wanna be like her when i get older. Like selling my paintings for too much money. And be a artist. Shes iconic.)

Okay, when the misfortunes in the book started (I mean the part where Georgia decided she was going to date Jason, her kissing Rooney and Pip watching, etc.) I almost scream in the middle of the classroom. (I cryed internally) like, my god, Georgia, you are aware that you can't like it, STOP FORCING YOURSELF TO HAVE A CRUSH, GIRL DON'T DO THIS AS IT ALWAYS GOES WRONG *CRYING A LOT* (alert from my own experience shouting) but at the same time i understand that is all part of the denial of self aceptance (i think happends with almost everybody who is in this self discover process lol) I had a freak out as big as when She and Rooney kissed while they're drunk, but like SHE KNEW THAT HER BEST FRIEND LIKED THE GIRL AND ALSO THE GIRL ALSO LIKED HER BEST FRIEND. (AGFGGFRGGRRRRRRSKDKSKSKIM GOING CRAZY SKSKSKKEKEKE) I felt betrayed along with Pip. but everything worked out in the end AMEM.

And talking about Rooney, I CONFESS, at first it took me a while to get used to Rooney, but as the book went on it seemed like I became friends with her along with Georgia. I love it. It's really cool to see that she is a deep character and that she has her reasons for being the way she is.!🌷

conclusion! This is a WONDERFUL work!!!!! It makes you rethink your entire life together with the characters. (which I generally love) and it's a great read for people in the process of accepting that they are aroace! The message of the book is: no, you have nothing wrong! It's not because society shoves it down your throat that you need to love someone romantically that you become invalid when you don't!!! you are valid legend! Don't let anyone put you down! and the other message is, value your friends. a true friendship is as lasting and valid as a marriage. love is love, regardless of its aspect! and there is no love more important than another. Your friends are also your family.

Aaannnddd is it! I hope you all like it! I

If you have already read it, agree or disagree with my opinion, you can comment! I would love to see more views on such a beautiful work! Besides, if I said something stupid, please correct me! Also, please excuse for my orthography errors. English is not my frist lenguage and I am not very confident in my moral abilities to write in English. A little kiss on your hearts, my space readers! Take care of yourself!🌷💖😸
