This is not a love song

This story is a headache. I can tell the person who is taking the pic has a desire for the subject which is Kat. The way the story is split into sections feels as if he's not just looking at her but looking at the photographs that he took of her and expressing his admiration. She was a music icon after she got sick and passed. It would of been nice to make a book of her because he had gotten almost every image of her even to her death

  1. Why is the story a "headache"? The narrator is not a "he," correct? It's a she. Does that change your reading of the story at all? They both had boyfriends so, presumedly, they were both heterosexual. I don't know if the narrator made a book, but it's clear that she's famous herself, at least in part, b/c of her photographs of Kat so she has shown them in some fashion.
