Candy Pizza, the debut poetry collection by Charlotte Cuevas, is a funky-fresh celebration of growing up on your own terms. At once brimming with the bitter humor of an adult and the vulnerable honesty of a child, it's everything you wish you could've read when you were growing up: advice on how to not be stupid, when to use swear words, how to deal with mood swings, how to keep your inner child alive, and more. Cuevas positively cartwheels down the line between juvenile irreverence and technical skill, ensuring that each venture down the rabbit hole is relatable, fun, and poignantly satisfying.
