A unique little read that I don't quite know what to make of! Reminded me a little of Treasure Island!!!! by Sara Lavine in the way you watch a girl become increasingly alienated from those around her with some darkly comic aspects. At its best, I really felt for Pizza Girl and the void of loss, trauma and fear she's living with, the way it utterfly freezes her and sends her spiraling into self destructive behaviour. Whilst the openness to the ending feels fitting, I do find myself not wholly satisfied but unable to put a finger on what exactly is missing...
