With the release of her third book,<em> I Was Born for This,<\/em> on the horizon (set to be released in May of 2018) all are scrambling to reread this testament to Osemans writing ability.<\/p>\n<p>Oseman released her first book in July of 2014, when she was only nineteen years old. Since then, she has released <em>Radio Silence,<\/em> her most critically acclaimed book to date. The book follows the life of teenager Frances Janvier as she struggles to balance her promising academic career with her \u201csocial\u201d life. Frances, who has always been a top student and is basically guaranteed a spot in the most prestigious universities, has her world turned upside-down when she befriends the unusual Aled Last, who also happens to be the mastermind behind her favorite podcast, <em>Universe City.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Radio Silence<\/em> contains everything that makes a YA novel great. It has relatability, love, diversity, and emotion- and not to mention puns, <em>lots<\/em> of puns. The characters carry a certain depth that makes you care about their struggles. And unlike most contemporary YA books, it has an incredible plot. It\u2019s not just about high school drama and romance. It contains thought-provoking plot-points about creating art, being a fangirl, and being yourself- even if you have to discover who \u201cyourself\u201d is first.<\/p>\n<p>Not a single person who reads this book will be disappointed, Goodreads critics agree. \u201cThis book was like, the spiritual equivalent of eating a perfectly toasted bagel\u2026 [It] was a show of unity to the millennial experience,\u201d said user softlykaz.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rebecca Horton &#8217;21 EE\u00a0Contributor What if everything you\u2019re supposed to be isn\u2019t what you want to be?
