After her mother gave birth to her in the bathroom of a local pizzeria, Beck Brix been given the dubious privilege of having minor fame, free pizza for life, and a guaranteed job when she turns sixteen—a job she unfortunately can’t afford to turn down.
Stuck with her geeky co-workers instead of taking Instagram-ready shots with her wealthy, photogenic friends, Beck finally realizes what she’s spent her whole life trying to hide: that Hot ‘n Crusty is a part of her.
Then disaster strikes the beloved pizza parlor that’s become like home, and Beck realizes that it takes losing something to really know what it’s worth.
Beck was born in the bathroom of a local, not so great pizza joint. The owner leaned into it, giving her a party every year, free pizza and a job as soon as she turned sixteen. Beck hated her mild fame but took the job because she needed the money.
Beck's a strange character. She hates being judged for one thing, but judges everyone else on one thing. She finds that she actually likes her coworkers, but avoids them in school because they aren't cool, even though she doesn't like them as much. I'm surprised they didn't ditch her, to be honest.
Think of a contemporary YA romcom trope and it's probably in here, but that's what makes it good. It's comfort food, no deep meaning, but it doesn't need one. It's a perfectly good YA romcom and I really enjoyed it.
Do be aware, the disaster referenced in the blurb happens almost right at the very end. Don't, like me, worry that maybe you've missed it somehow when you get to three quarters of the way through and it hasn't happened yet.
Lovely tone, funny, cute, sweet. A great read.
