Thank you to Doubleday Books for the free advance copy of this book.

In suburban Los Angeles, a pregnant 18 year old teenager works as a pizze delivery driver. While in the midst of grieving the sudden death of her alcoholic father, she finds herself fixated on Jenny, a new customer who orders a pepperoni and pickles pizza for her son every Wednesday.

PIZZA GIRL is a deeply engrossing, wildly unique coming of age novel. Our protagonist, pregnant but still living at her mother's home, floats somewhere between childhood and adulthood. While her boyfriend gives up college to take care of her, she can't help but peek into all the lives of her delivery customers and wonder what else is out there.

It's been awhile since I read a novel where a teenage character truly felt like a teenager. I could viscerally feel all those weird things I fixated on when I was that age, and found myself immediately invested in the protagonist as she sank deeper into depression and confusion. Then, when the story takes a turn...I was gripping the edges of my ereader and leaning forward in my seat. Do not miss out on this singular novel.
