Rikki
Rikki asked Alice Oseman:

How long did it take you to write Solitaire?

Alice Oseman first draft was about 4/5 months, then at least a year of editing by myself/with my agent/with my editors after that!

A Goodreads user asked Alice Oseman:

Hi, I've just read Radio Silence and I want to say that it was soo amazing! One of the best books I've ever read I decided to read Radio Silence thanks to Heartstopper and I have a little question Why Aled don't even mention about Charlie during whole book? I though they're friends, but Charlie seems to know nothing about Aled's problems in Heartstopper, maybe they just aren't that close? Thanks for your answer!! xx

Elle Presser asked Alice Oseman:

I just read the entirety of Radio Silence in one night - freaking amazing, I picked it up from the library on a whim and it quickly became my favourite book of the year! Would you consider doing a sequel to it? I'm desperate to find out what happens next to Frances and Aled!
