Are you ever drawn to a book by the title or the cover art? That’s how I ended up with a copy of Jean Kyoung Frazier’s Pizza Girl. Just like the exciting cover art, the text inside grabbed my attention and didn’t disappoint.
In this concise novel, an 18-year-old Los Angeles woman navigates pregnancy, work, home life, the memory of her late father, and an intense, unexpected attraction to Jenny, the customer who calls her “Pizza Girl.” The narrator is stuck, and the confluence of pressures in her life takes her down a chaotic path, taking the reader along for the journey.
Pizza Girl is a fun, quick read that’s sure to make you chuckle and perhaps think about some of your own coming-of-age experiences.
