"Eighteen years old, pregnant, and working as a pizza delivery girl in suburban Los Angeles, our charmingly dysfunctional heroine is deeply lost and in complete denial about it all. She's grieving the death of her father (who she has more in common with than she'd like to admit), avoiding her supportive mom and loving boyfriend, and flagrantly ignoring her future. Her world is further upended when she becomes obsessed with Jenny, a stay-at-home mother new to the neighborhood, who comes to depend on weekly deliveries of pickled covered pizzas for her son's happiness. As one woman looks toward motherhood and the other towards middle age, the relationship between the two begins to blur in strange, complicated, and ultimately heartbreaking ways. Bold, tender, propulsive, and unexpected in countless ways, Jean Kyoung Frazier's Pizza Girl is a moving and funny portrait of a flawed, unforgettable young woman as she tries to find her place in the world"-- Provided by publisher.

How was this published? submitted by kath on August 18, 2023, 8:41am I wanted to like this story of young pregnant woman who becomes obsessed with female customer. Everyone in the story is - or should be - emotionally fragile as they just experienced extreme loss. but . . . they are not even very sad. the pregnant character does not take anything too seriously nor does the father of the child. Characters are just so undeveloped as is the plot line. I had hopes for something more as the elements were all present to make a good story
