Picky

Zillah’s twenty-three and stuck. She’s stuck living with her quirky mother, stuck with a diet of ten toddler-approved foods, and stuck in a relationship with a man who thinks sharks are immortal.

Things change when she secretly listens to her neighbor’s exposure therapy and decides to DIY her own mental health. She starts experimenting, but life gets strange when she befriends the neighbor she’s been spying on.

Zillah gets to see the power of leaning into fear up close, but also topples her carefully constructed home life, questions the “facts” of her childhood, and risks her mother’s stability as long-buried truths start to unravel.

Tender, funny, and full of nervy optimism, Picky celebrates the courage it takes to reject the meal you were handed and instead choose from the buffet.
