Deep Dish

What happens when an average gay guy in his 30s loses everything? Fired from his high-profile marketing job, he leaves behind his fabulous Chicago apartment to attend his father's funeral in Michigan. Shortly after, his boyfriend ditches him for a younger man, and he's kicked out of his home-only to have his belongings boxed up and delivered to his deceased father's house. Naturally, he becomes a pizza delivery guy.
Cody feels like he's hit rock bottom, but sometimes losing everything opens the door to unexpected possibilities. Back in Michigan, he discovers even more drama at Cheese Palace Pizza than he ever faced in his corporate job. As he dives into the heart of the transactional relationships that shape our lives, Cody is confronted with desperation, apathy, resistance-and above all, change.
Each pizza delivery seems insignificant, yet every drop-off brings him face-to-face with something deeper about himself and the world around him. He enters a seemingly throw-away relationship with his lawn guy, Blake, and forms unexpected connections with people he once thought he was above. As Cody learns to navigate this new chapter, he starts to strategize his deliveries, finding meaning in the fleeting exchanges that often go unnoticed.
Deep Dish is a fast-paced, thought-provoking novel that runs on the energy of a timed delivery. In Cody's world, there's never, ever... a free pizza at the end.
