2018 book 180

Alice Oseman's Radio Silence
I am perpetually grateful to friends who recommend good books to me, especially ones I would not have discovered on my own. I actually like the little description blurb here so will copy and paste for your viewing pleasure:

Frances Janvier spends most of her time studying. 
Everyone knows Aled Last as that quiet boy who gets straight As. 
You probably think that they are going to fall in love or something. Since he is a boy and she is a girl.
They don’t. They make a podcast.”
I liked this A LOT, it touches on fandom and friendship and families (good and bad), on fitting into society's boxes, on love and creativity. Just an unexpectedly moving story. A/A-.
