​

Here are some very nice things people have said about it:

​

“Brilliant and bighearted, Paradise Pawn transported me back to the electrifying intensity of young friendship. It beautifully captures the feeling of slowly waking up from childhood and emerging into the adult world only to realize it’s often not what we thought it would be. A total gem of a debut!”—Charlee Dyroff, author of Loneliness & Company

“You’ve never read a coming-of-age novel like this before. Meg Richardson manages to capture the exact moment when childhood tips into puberty. Funny and sweet without shying away from the darker moments of adulthood, Richardson transforms our ideas of what it means to be a girl in this laugh-out-loud novel about best friendship, growing up, and working class life.”—Molly McGhee, author of Jonathan Abernathy You Are Kind
