I started college in the fall of 1990 so the setting of this book brought me back to my last teens and early 20s.

You’ll laugh, cry, and love it all. Azzoni writes about a hard topic in a light and true way. I couldn’t love this book more.......more
“Beautiful and moving.” Andrea Lawlor
“Azzoni’s Tizzy, refuses to take the shape of a trauma narrative. True to life, Azzoni casts a net over the full spectrum of human emotion, allowing pain and grief to co-exist with joy, humor, crushes, friendships, family, and the everyday. The novel follows Tizzy as she takes on the difficult and necessary work of re-inhabiting herself—not as the girl she was before, but as an architect of herself and her future. Tizzy is an honest, tender and immersive read. Radiant, visceral, and profoundly hopeful, Tizzy is an anthem for anyone journeying through the radical act of coming home to themselves.” Shoshana von Blanckensee
