- Reading
- Try reading a few chapters together or checking in after the song becomes a subject of speculation. This can help you gauge how the attention and relationship questions feel to your reader.
- Themes
- Privacy and public speculation: A hit song called “Natalie” prompts classmates to speculate about its subject, while Nattie considers whether it might be about her. The premise brings private uncertainty into public discussion, but does not establish whether the story criticises or endorses the speculation.
- Romantic uncertainty: Nattie tries to understand what her past with Sebastian meant and her flirtation-packed feelings for her friend Zach. The book’s stance on this remains unclear.
- Worth knowing
- Romantic uncertainty and the embarrassment of classmates speculating about a song's subject are part of the premise. The extent or intensity of these moments is unclear.
