Pizza Girl

Named a Vogue; Esquire; NPR; Marie Claire; and Refinery29 Best Book of the Year. Perfect for fans of Normal People and Fleabag Great inventiveness; unfailing intelligence and empathy; and best of all a rare and shimmering wit' Richard Ford Eighteen years old; pregnant; and working as a pizza delivery girl; our dysfunctional heroine is deeply lost and in complete denial about it all. She's grieving the death of her father; avoiding her 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 neighbourhood; who comes to depend on weekly deliveries of pickle-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. Bold; tender; and unexpected; Pizza Girl is a moving and funny portrait of a flawed; unforgettable young woman as she tries to find her place in the world.
