A slice-of-life rom-com about pizza and first crushes that readers will gobble up! Maya Reynolds has grown up hanging out in her family's Brooklyn pizza shop, Soul Slice, and is a true NYC girl. But when her parents have an opportunity to expand the business and move to a small Pennsylvania town, everything changes. At Soul Slice 2.0, Maya's assigned pizza delivery duty. And though Maya knows pizza, she's never delivered before. Her first delivery is a disaster. Can you make a worse impression than slipping and falling... right into a rude boy's pizza order? And that same rude -- and cute -- boy, Justin, shows up in Maya's English class the next day. Ugh! Things are off to a rocky start in this new town. But could Justin -- along with some new friends and inventive pizza toppings -- eventually turn Maya's new home into her own slice of heaven?
