- Reading
- Read alongside your child if useful, pausing to consider what makes a personal detail suitable for sharing and how an online audience might differ from the one a writer expects.
- Themes
- Oversharing and privacy: Becca tries to curb what she says in person, then writes as Bella on a blog she thinks nobody will read; her posts are not as anonymous as she expects. The shift from face-to-face disclosure to an online persona brings audience and self-presentation into contrast.
- A relationship setback: Becca’s disclosure about her boyfriend’s kisses precedes his decision to break up with her. The breakup follows Becca’s disclosure, making this a relationship setback that prompts her to reconsider oversharing.
- Worth knowing
- The plot includes a boyfriend ending the relationship after Becca shares details about their kisses. This romantic embarrassment and rejection may be worth noting if those subjects feel close to home.
