About this deal

It was all sinking in. I’d never had a crush on anyone. No boys, no girls, not a single person I had ever met. What did that mean?

I think that a lot of the questionable things in this book could've been avoided by having gone through a sensitivity read by someone who, for example, is asexual but not sex-repulsed.Radio Silence isn’t a dramatic departure tonally or thematically from Solitaire but it’s just as strong. Oseman’s first book was a breathtakingly accurate portrayal of teenage ennui - The Times called it “The Catcher in the Rye for the digital age” - and Radio Silence ventures into darker territory, featuring characters a little older than Solitaire’s protagonists. It is, predictably, a more mature piece of work; a bold, confident and, above all, important book (but not in the way you’d expect) with Oseman’s wit and insight shining throughout. It was all sinking in. I'd never had a crush on anyone. No boys, no girls, not a single person I had ever met. What did that mean?

Welcome

I do hope that loveless opens the gates for more a-spec books to be published, and they are able to learn from loveless's pros and cons to handle the intersection of topics and identities in a better way. And it is entirely possible to read loveless and relate to the heroine's experience, but also be cognizant of how and where it lets other identities down at the same time.

I’ve got an idea for book three, which I’m sure you’ve seen a few things about on Tumblr.” Oseman’s Tumblr gives little away but everything suggests it’s something to do with fame and being in the spotlight. “I haven’t planned much of book three and even if I had stuff to say I wouldn’t really be able to reveal it anyway but I can say that I’m hoping for it to be very different to Solitaire and Radio Silence in terms of setting, time frame and even themes. It’ll still be in my style, very character heavy, but I have ideas about how different it’ll be.” Bundel, Ani (17 June 2022). "What to Read if You Can't Get Enough of Heartstopper". Paste .

Retrieved 23 August 2022.So the final draft wasn’t dramatically different from Oseman’s original idea? “Yeah, it wasn’t like I came up with a story and went ‘I don’t want to do this’. I had this idea that I wanted to write a book about going from school to university and the idea that you don’t have to go to university. That’s the essential concept that I had at the start. And then I kept trying to turn it into a plot and it was the plotting that I found really hard so I didn’t actually start writing it until a few months after Solitaire came out,” she says. “But, like the plans, I just kept restarting. I didn’t start writing what became the real thing until like a year after that.” Our troupe consisted of two star performers who both wanted to be in charge, one girl who threw up every time she acted, and one boy who might possibly be the love of my life. WHAT YEARS DO YOUR BOOKS TAKE PLACE IN? The short answer: They don’t take place in any specific year. Eighteen-year-old Georgia has never been in love, had a crush on a guy or a girl, and never been kissed. She has told friends for years that she fancies one of the lads from school but when he makes his move on prom night she is disgusted with herself and realises that it was all an act and that she has never felt that way about anyone, nor does she want to be kissed. Alice Oseman was born in Chatham, Kent and grew up in a village near Rochester, Kent with her younger brother, William, and attended Rochester Grammar School.
