Radio Silence

Seventeen-year-old British-Ethiopian girl Frances Janvier shoots straight at the opening to Radio Silence, Alice Oseman’s latest YA novel: “Being clever was, after all, my primary source of self-esteem. I’m a very sad person, in all sense of the word, but at least I was going to get into university.” Oseman shares a peek behind Radio Silence, and how she learned to redefine the meaning of success when surrounded by pressure to conform.
