What to expect
Tizzy’s trying to keep her cool.
It’s the 90s.
She’s nineteen, fueled by caffeine, riot grrrl, and repression.
She’s got a boyfriend, a job at the hip campus co-op, and a roommate who burns sage in the bathroom. But when her body starts to short-circuit, memories she’s spent years keeping at bay surge to the surface. To top it off, Tizzy finds herself drawn to TJ, her boyfriend’s best friend—all swagger, sarcasm, and unexpected tenderness in her leather jacket and combat boots.
With her nervous system lighting up in ways she can no longer ignore, Tizzy begins to realize she must face what she’s been running from. Tizzy is a fever dream of denial and desire, a coming-of-age novel in which the key to healing is feeling everything.
Critics Review
-
“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.”
