Pizza Girl

‘Sharp and surprising, Pizza Girl shows us how obsession can fill the empty spaces in a young woman's life. Jean Kyoung Frazier will make you laugh with one sentence and break your heart with the next. A delicious debut’ Julia Phillips, author of Disappearing Earth Unhappily pregnant, an eighteen-year-old pizza delivery girl is grieving the recent loss of her father and struggling to visualise her impending future when she receives an unusual phone call. Jenny Hauser, a stay-at-home mother who has just moved to the area, needs a large pepperoni-and-pickles pizza to console her son, and only our narrator can help her. As Jenny’s orders become a regular occurrence, the narrator finds herself craving Jenny’s dependency and company, even when it is at the detriment of her relationship with her doting mother and boyfriend.

Chaotic, tender, and harsh, Pizza Girl tells an unforgettable coming-of-age story about a young woman grappling with grief, addiction, sexuality and pregnancy while trying to find her place in the world.
