Description

Pizza Girl is a darkly comedic and deeply human novel about Casey, a pregnant teenager working as a delivery driver for a pizza restaurant while navigating the complexities of her fractured family and uncertain future. When Casey becomes entangled in an unexpected connection with one of her regular customers, the boundaries between her mundane daily life and emotional survival become dangerously blurred. Jean Kyoung Frazier crafts a poignant exploration of adolescence, loneliness, and the ways we seek connection in the most unlikely places, all while maintaining a sharp, witty voice that captures the absurdity of Casey's circumstances. Through intimate observations and raw honesty, the novel examines themes of class, motherhood, and the search for belonging in a world that often feels indifferent to the struggles of young women. A compelling and unforgettable portrait of resilience and the messy reality of growing up.
