Radio Silence is a 2016 YA English novel written by Alice Oseman. It is the fourth book released in the Osemanverse, released after This Winter and before I Was Born For This.The book starts off at the end of the events of Solitaire, Oseman's first novel. It follows Frances Janvier, a new protagonist hoping to study English Literature at Cambridge University, whose ambitions have led her to hide her passions for fanart and the YouTube podcast, Universe City. Eventually, she meets and befriends a student at her school in the year above, Aled Last, and finds they have more in common that she first thought. However, when a string of mistakes breaks the trust between the two of them, she has to reassess her goals and what she wants to do with her life.Aled later appears as a side character in the webcomic, Heartstopper, set before the events of Radio Silence.

Be Yourself: The whole book is about discovering your true self and accomplishing your desires. Frances discovers from Aled that she can show who she really is through her drawings, as he does with his podcasts. After ignoring their true desires and believing that university is the only way, Frances and Aled decide to become whoever they want to be, without worrying about being academic or perfect for their parents.

Education Mama: Carol Last puts enormous pressure on her son's academic success and keeps him away from distractions. She was even harder on her daughter, who was not a good student. Inverted Lana Janvier worries about the pressure her daughter is under to succeed, even though she would like her to get a good education, pushes her away from her homework and is delighted when she starts spending time with Aled.
