Flirting with boys
Hailey Abbott
- Reading
- Try reading the opening together, then pause to ask what Celeste seems to want and what remains uncertain. Revisit the conversation after the ending to compare expectations with what happens.
- Themes
- Romantic attention and choice: Celeste has a boyfriend while Nick, a resort guest’s son, flirts with her again; she says she does not want to spend time with him but is unsure of her own feelings. The premise places Celeste’s mixed feelings at the centre, but does not show whether the story treats her choices as wise, harmful, or something else.
- Worth knowing
- Romantic attention and tension between a couple are central to the setup. The extent of any physical intimacy, conflict, or other mature content is unclear.
