I truly had no idea what to expect from this, but a pregnant 18-year-old obsessing over a middle aged woman wasn't it. The titular Pizza Girl is a delivery driver who is dealing with grief, the looming future of motherhood, and a deepening divide between herself and her family, which consists of only her boyfriend and her own mother. This book has humorous moments and its fair share of vulgarity, but it's a deep look into coming of age while in the throes of depression. I was frantic and heartbroken by the end of this, more closely invested in Pizza Girl than I thought I would become. I'm glad I was recommended this for the 12 in 12 Challenge, as I honestly think I wouldn't have picked it up otherwise.
