Summary
Sixteen-year-old Beck rediscovers herself while working with a group of misfits at the local pizza parlor where she was born.
Beck Brix's mother gave birth to her in the bathroom of a local pizzeria. This has given her the dubious privilege of having minor fame, free pizza for life, and a guaranteed job when she turns sixteen. It's a job she unfortunately can't afford to turn down. Stuck with geeky co-workers instead of taking Instagram-ready shots with her wealthy, photogenic friends, Beck finally realizes what she has spent her whole life trying to hide: Hot 'n Crusty is a part of her. When disaster strikes the place that has become like home, Beck realizes that it takes losing something to really know what it's worth. -- adapted from jacket and Goodreads info
