"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 about it all. She's grieving the death of her father (who she has more in common with than she'd like to admit), 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 towards middle age, the relationship between the two begins to blur in strange, complicated, and ultimately heartbreaking ways. Bold, tender, propulsive, and unexpected in countless ways, Jean Kyoung Frazier's Pizza Girl is a moving and funny portrait of a flawed, unforgettable young woman as she tries to find her place in the world"--… (mais)

this book was a little endearing, a little pathetic, a little sad, a little funny, a little entertaining and some eye rolling. definitely made me want some pizza. but you ever have that realization that every single person you have ever seen in your life is a human being. and they have a complex worldview and internal monologue and relationship dynamics and trials and tribulations and a favorite flavor of popsicle? this book was that feeling ( )

Set in suburban Los Angeles the story follows a pregnant eighteen-year-old and her exploits as a pizza delivery girl, creating a story that is blunt, relatable, off-putting, and a bit wild.
This is an extremely quick read and easy to get into, there is not much I can say about the story itself without telling it all so I will say it's a story where the protagonist is also the antagonist as a bit of an unhinged narrator and is ultimately about how even having the best support can't always protect you from yourself.
Quick, honest, and engaging - I did quite like this book and it works for it's length. This is a debut book from the author and I will be curious to see what else she ends up writing. Also, the cover art is quite good and definitely helped to draw me into picking this up. ( )

The description sounded so good and i really thought I will love it but here we are. It was funny and had interesting parts but overall it was very boring. It's so short but i couldnt push thru without an audiobook on 2x speed which isnt good. I didint hate it, i like the writting style and the humor but thats about it. ( )

"I realized how avoidance was the most attention you could give something."

Our narrator, the titular Pizza Girl, is a confused, pregnant 18 year old. She spends her days driving through LA dropping off pizzas and trying not to think too much... Not about her dead alcoholic father, her supportive (coddling) Korean mother, and her overly attentive (bordering on smothering) boyfriend.

Her secret late night excursions to her dad's shed where she drinks beer and watches infomercials are her only escape until a customer calls in with desperation in her voice requesting a pepperoni pizza with pickles.

In this way Pizza Girl meets Jenny, a 30-something stay at home mom unlike anyone Pizza Girl has met before. Behind the front door on her large house with the neat lawn in her upscale neighbourhood, Jenny is a mess... But she's an ( )
