Wrong about the guy
Claire Scovell LaZebnik
- Reading
- Read together or check in afterwards about which relationships feel most important to Ellie. The ending and how her plans resolve are not clear from the outline.
- Themes
- Self-image and social status: Ellie objects to being seen as spoiled after her stepfather becomes a television star, while George challenges her self-assurance. The outline presents a tension between how Ellie sees herself and how George sees her; it does not establish whose judgement the story ultimately supports.
- Friendship and romance: Ellie relies on close friends, and Aaron’s return matters to her; her plans for friends and love do not go as she imagined. Relationships are central to the plot, but the outline does not show how conflicts develop or what conclusions the story reaches about friendship or romance.
- Worth knowing
- Romance and dating are part of the story’s subject matter. The nature and detail of that content are unclear, so consider checking in if this is a particular concern.
