Thank you HarperCollins and Netgalley for this eARC, these opinions are my own. This was so cute! Luca has got a lot on his plate between juggling his family’s pizza restaurant, helping with his siblings, and trying to keep his parents together. But he’s about to meet Will, who brings him some much needed joy. The only problem is he’s pretty sure his best friend June is also interested in Will, and Luca doesn’t know if he is gay or not. When the opportunity to boost the restaurant by going on his favorite show, Pizza Perfect, he’ll jump at the opportunity. But with all he’s got going on can he pull it together? Will he be able to tell Will how he feels? I loved this one! A quick paced story! It’s fun, heartfelt, sweet, and ends wonderfully!

Incredibly cute middle grade book about a middle school boy who’s trying to hold it all together, his friendships, his parents marriage, and the family pizzeria. Luca is a talented pizza maker and anxious kid who wants to make everything perfect for everyone else and loses himself in the process.

Loved this book about Luca with so much on his plate as he tries to help his family with their struggling pizza restaurant. His parents are having marital issues, and he think he might like new student Will. When Will’s favorite pizza show announces a contest, Luca enters the contest in hopes it might save their restaurant and his parent’s marriage. Does Luca and his family win the contest? Does Will feel the same way as Luca?
