Trivia / Alice Oseman

• Sequel in Another Medium: Charlie and Nick's story is introduced in the Solitaire novel but expanded in Heartstopper as a webcomic since Oseman found they didn't follow a normal beginning/middle/end novel arc.
• Write What You Know: Across many of Oseman's works.
  • Solitaire: Tori's character was originally written to reflect her then 17-year-old perspective as a "very sad" teenage girl.
  • Radio Silence: Frances's experiences draw on Oseman's disillusionment with academia and school pressure.
  • Loveless: Georgia's aromantic asexual journey at Durham mirrors Oseman's own struggles in coming to terms with their sexuality.
  • Heartstopper: Like Oseman, the main characters live in a small town in Kent and attend a single-sex grammar school.
