I saw this in a few bookstores and almost thought about giving it a try but didn't. Nearly two years later, I finally read it... and damn, did it fall short for me. This book seems to be lacking in a lot of places. The monotonous writing- which made the audiobook less enjoyable- combined with the lack of depth and background from the supporting characters left me so unsatisfied. The pièce de résistance: everything about Jane (aka Pizza Girl) felt sloppy and half-assed. From her underdeveloped thought process to her disappointing character arc, it portrayed her in a way that made it hard for me to sympathize.
Considering this book was just under 200 pages, I'd like to think that if Frazier had just “let it cook longer” and expanded on the story a little more, this might have been salvageable. But alas, it was “underbaked” and only gets one and a half stars from me.
