Beck is the pizza princess. Even worse, she’s the Hot and Crusty Pizza Bathroom Baby. Ever since her mom spontaneously went into labor and gave birth to her on the bathroom floor of their local pizzeria, Beck has been trying to escape the role that has been thrust upon her. She has yearly pizza photo ops and has been dodging interview requests for years, but finally gives in when she needs a job and the kind owner of the pizzeria reminds her of his open offer than she could always work there.
I really enjoyed this one. I put off reading it for too long because coming of age high school rom-coms aren’t always my favorite but this one really hit all the marks that make a book like this great. The high schoolers were believable and not just cartoon versions of how teenagers behave, and the conflicts were all just the right level of emotional weight.
The author struck a perfect balance of plot and character growth driving the story forward and by the end I was honestly emotional at the resolution.
I would definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a coming of age, finding yourself, with a little bit of romance. It’s cheesy, but in the most delicious kind of way.
