My thoughts:
I fell in love with this book straightaway. There was something special about Beck's narrative that made me relate to her. Beck's identity of a hot'n'crusty baby born in a pizzeria is of course unique, but the observation that identities are often set early on and not easy to change if you happen to live in a small town is very true. Your teenage years is time when you are supposed to figure out what you are, who your friends are and why they are your friends, and what makes your heart beat stronger, and Lauren Morrill does a wonderful job of showing it. Due to the accident of her birth Beck has always known that she would have a job in the pizzeria where she first saw the light of the world. Although she would love dearly to escape anything to do with pizzas, asfar as firstjobs go, this isn't a bad one. Her co-workers are friendly and she can really stop trying to be something else in order to fit with the others, because the Hot'n'Crusty people know and love her as she is. I really enjoyed Beck's journey towards understanding various relationships and friendships she forms and how they all reflect various parts of her identity, which isn't set in stone,but is still developing and changing. If you are looking for a story with a sweet and adorable high school romance, great friendships, supportive parents, realistic, but also entertaining interactions between the characters, and lots of lovely banter- this is a book for you. A book that will put a smile on your face and will make you feel better about life.
