hi, i’m alice oseman and i write contemporary YA about existential crises and lgbt+ teens and deep friendships and finding your way through this bitch of a life
seeing how successful heartstopper has been as a show really makes me hopeful about the possibility of Alice’s other works getting adapted. Because like all of Alice’s books have such a huge potential to be adapted on screen, they could all make for such brilliant series. Radio silence and i was born for this have such a distinct voice and important, unique themes that would do so well when translated on-screen. They could be some of the most unique, creative adaptations ever, like imagine the potential they have!!! Loveless getting an adaptation would be ground-breaking. I cannot explain how much it would mean if we got to see Georgia’s journey on-screen. As for Solitaire, the way Alice wrote some of the darker scenes in the heartstopper tv show and how well it was adapted on-screen made me realise how much potential Solitaire has as an adaptation!!! Like!!! My favourite scene in the show was the one with Tori and Charlie in Episode 8 and that was just so much more Solitaire than heartstopper. I really hope heartstopper gets more seasons because it would be so cool if we got Solitaire as like a spin-off in between the events of heartstopper Chapter 5 and 6 (volume 4), where we focus fully on Tori and Michael’s journey, because if heartstopper was any indication, Solitaire would be a brilliant adaptation, especially if Alice was fully in control like they were for heartstopper!!
