Understanding her Feelings Towards her Boyfriend
Ace Zuckerman was a jock, sporty, popular, "and handsome, I suppose, though in an almost cartoonish way" (48). Even though Naomi was not up in the 'popular' crowd she was still liked by many people. She couldn't understand why she liked Ace in the first place, for her "everything about him seemed too broad, too big. If someone had asked me right at the moment, I would have said, "Definitely not my type."" (49). She finally figures out that the only reason that she liked him was because they were both on the tennis team and were always partners. Out of everything, that was all she could think of that they had in common. I think that this is a frustrating moment to try to figure out why, but, maybe she had just gone out with him for his tennis 'player', not for who he really was.
