Nate" is the advice every child of every age should hear. Her words to Nate, "Just keep being you, kid. Asella enlists Nate to help her with her lines and becomes part mentor, part mother, and part friend. I adore Asella, the first understudy for ET. She's like Nancy Drew on Ritalin." While she is Nate's first and foremost supporter, she is also dealing with her mother's cancer. In the last book, Nate wasn't really sure of his sexuality, but in this one he seems to be coming into his own and maybe even having his first relationship. It is ultimately about acceptance - acceptance of oneself and of others for who we are. One of the things I loved about this book is the revelation that people are not what they may seem on the outside. It is stressful and tense at times, but Federle reveals the same sweetness in this one as he did before. There is more of the 'parent of child star' craziness. In this book readers get a look at what goes on behind the scenes in a Broadway Musical. In contrast to Federle, Nate has many gifts, but dancing isn't one of them. Who is Nate you might ask? We were introduced to him in Better Nate than Ever.įederle continues his semi autobiographical log of Nate's life in New York, where he is rehearsing for ET: The Musical. I love Nate! I have two fabulous grown up sons, but if I were to have another, I would want him to be Nate.
