SuitabookCharlotte cuts it out
Kelly Barson
- Reading
- Read alongside the opening chapters, then pause after the bet is introduced. Invite your reader to weigh the characters’ priorities before continuing to see how the competition and family disagreement unfold.
- Themes
- Choosing a future: Charlotte wants a future in cosmetology; her mother wants her to give it up for college. The setup places the two aspirations in tension, but does not establish which choice the story supports.
- Friendship and ambition: Charlotte and Lydia share a plan involving cosmetology and enter a style competition together. The book’s stance on this remains unclear.
- Worth knowing
- Charlotte makes what is described as a life-changing bet with her mother. Its terms and consequences are not given, so you may want to check how that conflict develops as you read.
