Pizza Girl by Jean Kyoung Frazier
3.0

This is a weird story. I'm not sure what to say about it! The protagonist, whose name we don't learn until the end, is a pregnant 18-year-old who works as a pizza delivery person in LA. She lives with her boyfriend and her mom, who adore each other. Her alcoholic dad is dead.

One day, a woman calls in an order for a pepperoni and pickle pizza, and though pickles are not an item on the menu, Pizza Girl decides to accommodate the caller, a woman about Pizza Girl's mother's age and herself a mother of an elementary school-aged boy.
