<p><em>Absence makes the heart grow fonder, right?</em></p>
<p><strong>CHARLIE: </strong>&#8220;I have been going out with Nick Nelson for two years. He likes rugby, Formula 1, dogs, the Marvel universe, the sound felt-tips make on paper, rain and drawing on shoes. He also likes me.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>NICK:</strong> &#8220;Things me and Charlie Spring do together include: Watch films. Sit in the same room on different laptops. Text each other from different rooms. Make out. Make food. Make drinks. Get drunk. Talk. Argue. Laugh. Maybe we&#8217;re kind of boring. But that&#8217;s fine with us.&#8221;</p>
<p>Everyone knows that Nick and Charlie are the perfect couple &#8211; that they&#8217;re inseparable. But now Nick is leaving for university, and Charlie will be left behind at Sixth Form. Everyone&#8217;s asking if they&#8217;re staying together, which is a stupid question &#8211; they&#8217;re &#8216;Nick and Charlie&#8217; for God&#8217;s sake!</p>
<p>But as the time to say goodbye gets inevitably closer, both Nick and Charlie question whether their love is strong enough to survive being apart. Or are they delaying the inevitable? Because everyone knows that first loves rarely last forever?</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>With special bonus content &#8211; a letter to readers from Alice Oseman</strong></p>
<p><strong>The second novel by the phenomenally talented Alice Oseman, author of <em>Solitaire</em> and graphic novel series Heartstopper &#8211; now a major Netflix series.</strong></p>
<p>What if everything you set yourself up to be was wrong?</p>
<p>Frances has always been a study machine with one goal, elite university. Nothing will stand in her way; not friends, not a guilty secret &#8211; not even the person she is on the inside.</p>
<p>But when Frances meets Aled, the shy genius behind her favourite podcast, she discovers a new freedom. He unlocks the door to Real Frances and for the first time she experiences true friendship, unafraid to be herself. Then the podcast goes viral and the fragile trust between them is broken.</p>
<p>Caught between who she was and who she longs to be, Frances&#8217; dreams come crashing down. Suffocating with guilt, she knows that she has to confront her past?</p>
<p>She has to confess why Carys disappeared?</p>
<p>Meanwhile at uni, Aled is alone, fighting even darker secrets.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s only by facing up to your fears that you can overcome them. And it&#8217;s only by being your true self that you can find happiness.</p>
<p>Frances is going to need every bit of courage she has.</p>
<p>A YA coming of age read that tackles issues of identity, the pressure to succeed, diversity and freedom to choose, Radio Silence is a tour de force by the most exciting writer of her generation.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>With special bonus content &#8211; a brand new story by Alice Oseman</strong></p>
<p><strong>WINNER OF THE YA BOOK PRIZE 2021</strong></p>
<p><strong>A <em>NEW YORK TIMES</em> BESTSELLER</strong></p>
<p>The fourth novel from the phenomenally talented Alice Oseman, author of <em>Solitaire</em> and the graphic novel series Heartstopper &#8211; now a major Netflix series.</p>
<p><em>It was all sinking in. I&#8217;d never had a crush on anyone. No boys, no girls, not a single person I had ever met. What did that mean?</em></p>
<p>Georgia has never been in love, never kissed anyone, never even had a crush &#8211; but as a fanfic-obsessed romantic she&#8217;s sure she&#8217;ll find her person one day.</p>
<p>As she starts university with her best friends, Pip and Jason, in a whole new town far from home, Georgia&#8217;s ready to find romance, and with her outgoing roommate on her side and a place in the Shakespeare Society, her &#8216;teenage dream&#8217; is in sight.</p>
<p>But when her romance plan wreaks havoc amongst her friends, Georgia ends up in her own comedy of errors, and she starts to question why love seems so easy for other people but not for her. With new terms thrown at her &#8211; asexual, aromantic &#8211; Georgia is more uncertain about her feelings than ever.</p>
<p>Is she destined to remain loveless? Or has she been looking for the wrong thing all along?</p>
<p>This wise, warm and witty story of identity and self-acceptance sees Alice Oseman on towering form as Georgia and her friends discover that true love isn&#8217;t limited to romance.</p>
<p>&#8216;A joyous, disarmingly honest book that seems to leap right inside the mind of a teenage girl&#8217; <em>Independent</em> [now iNews]</p>
<p>&#8216;Loveless is an ode to friendship and platonic soulmates; this cosy blanket of a novel understandably won the YA Book Prize 2021&#8217;<em>Irish Times</em></p>
<p>&#8216;A joyful tale of self-discovery&#8221; <em>The Bookseller</em></p>

<p><strong>The third novel by the phenomenally talented Alice Oseman, the author of the 2021 YA Book Prize winning <em>Loveless</em>, <em>Solitaire</em> and graphic novel series Heartstopper &#8211; now a major Netflix series.</strong></p>
<p>For Angel Rahimi life is about one thing: The Ark &#8211; a pop-rock trio of teenage boys who are taking the world by storm. Being part of The Ark&#8217;s fandom has given her everything she loves &#8211; her friend Juliet, her dreams, her place in the world.</p>
<p>Jimmy Kaga-Ricci owes everything to The Ark. He&#8217;s their frontman &#8211; and playing in a band with his mates is all he ever dreamed of doing.</p>
<p>But dreams don&#8217;t always turn out the way you think and when Jimmy and Angel are unexpectedly thrust together, they find out how strange and surprising facing up to reality can be.</p>
<p>A funny, wise, and heartbreakingly true coming of age novel. <em>I Was Born for This</em> is a stunning reflection of modern teenage life, and the power of believing in something &#8211; especially yourself.</p>

<p>My name is Tori Spring. I like to sleep and I like to blog. Last year &#8211; before all that stuff with Charlie and before I had to face the harsh realities of A-Levels and university applications and the fact that one day I really will have to start talking to people &#8211; I had friends. Things were very different, I guess, but that&#8217;s all over now.</p>
<p>Now there&#8217;s Solitaire. And Michael Holden.</p>
<p>I don&#8217;t know what Solitaire are trying to do, and I don&#8217;t care about Michael Holden.<br />I really don&#8217;t.</p>
<p>This incredible debut novel by outstanding young author Alice Oseman is perfect for fans of John Green, Rainbow Rowell and all unflinchingly honest writers.</p>
