Pizza Girl

A Novel

De: Jean Kyoung Frazier

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.

Surprising, but not for me

Interesting story with fresh characters, but the main character is a little too unsympathetic. I wanted more.

Writing style is superb

This is a story about addiction and escapism. You need to go into reading it with that mindset

Good plot average writing

See title , the story is engaging but writing is more or less sub par. This is not the great American novel

Loose Ends

Pleasant narrator. I felt it was slow to get to the main story line. Ending Confused me, maybe to abrupt or loose ends left undone.

Love this story

The story was well written and relatable (to a point 😅). Smooth narration. Definitely worth the listen!
