LAMBDA LITERARY AWARD FINALIST • An audacious and wryly funny coming-of-age story about a pregnant pizza delivery girl who becomes obsessed with one of her customers.
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. She's grieving the death of her father, 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 toward middle age, the relationship between the two begins to blur in strange, complicated, and ultimately heartbreaking ways.

Pizza Girl is a slice of fun
Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
Dialogue was spot on for the time and ages of the characters and her prose is not obtusely descriptive. If you're feeling nostalgic, get the book. It brought me back to my high school years.
Accurate portrayal of a lost high-schooler from 2011

The two main characters (Jenny, "Pizza Girl") are comically pathetic and the bond they share feels forced.
