"That's Debatable" by Jen Doll follows the story of a witty high school senior, who finds herself caught in the competitive world of debate. As she navigates the complexities of friendships, first love, and the pressure to succeed, she grapples with her own beliefs and the art of persuasion. With a mix of humor and heart, the narrative explores themes of identity, self-acceptance, and the importance of standing up for one’s convictions, all while highlighting the dramatic and often hilarious dynamics of teenage life in the high-stakes environment of academic competition.
