This was an interesting little book. I had seen a few reviews on Tik Tok, so when I saw it at my local library I figured I would check it out. While I enjoyed it and finished it quickly (it was under 200pgs), I was bored at times at the lack of anything going on outside the jumbled thoughts of the protagonist. She is 18yrs old, pregnant, and doesn't really know what she wants out of life and kind of stumbles through many layers of her identity. She delivers a pizza to a woman and her son and begins an odd friendship. I was not expecting the story to go in the direction it eventually did but the last half of the book is definitely better than the first. But even during slower parts, I always felt the author chewing at important perceptions, and I felt compelled to keep following along until the story was done. One reviewer of this book said they felt the author's debut novel, while not the greatest, certainly has a writing style that is unique and attractive, and I certainly agree with that sentiment. I will definitely check out more from this author even if I wasn't completely blown away by this one.

This book was an absolute train-wreck. I hated it, but I couldn’t stop reading it.
