That's My Girl
Jill Ross Klevin
- Reading
- Read together and pause when Becky’s decision-making or feelings about the disagreement stand out; check in about what each character seems to want.
- Themes
- Ambition and a relationship: Becky has sacrificed leisure for skating and hopes to join the Olympic team, while Jed wants her attention elsewhere. The setup places Becky’s ambition and Jed’s wishes in tension, but does not establish how the story judges either position.
- Worth knowing
- Becky’s choices and the disagreement with Jed are described as emotionally painful. The extent or resolution of that tension is unclear.
