“It’s weird, how you have no idea how far you’ve come until suddenly you can’t find the way back.”

Cuteness overload, those are my two words to describe this book. A cute New-York city-based YA rom-com about twitter and food? What's not to like. Emma Lord did an amazing job of taking the essence of teenagers and social media into this *qUirkY* (I have issues with this word) read.

Quick Summary: Pepper Evans is the swim team captain, A+ student, perfectionist, and the child of the owners of a very large fast-food chain. Jack Campbell is a class clown, dive team member, shadow to his shining twin brother, and the child of the owners of a hometown deli. When allegations of stolen recipes spark up, these two food-chains start a feud on Twitter filled with quick-witted replies and memes. And guess who's sending these messages? Pepper and Jack. Online they feud, but in reality, they grow closer and form a friendship. Or maybe more...

First of all both of these characters are the most fun people ever. They both have such complex relationships around them and such interesting hobbies. Pepper loves baking and has maintained an amazing school life to make her resume look good in hopes to please her mom. She has such an interesting relationship with her sister, who is always there for her but makes her feel like she has to be the middle man in almost everything. Also, Pooja's and Pepper booming friendship meant a lot to me. More often than that, smart people in books are always competing and have animosity. Emma Lord getting rid of that and actually trying to make them friends even if it was VERY awkward at first was very appreciated. I totally understand Pepper's need to be on the top of her game all the time, because it made her more human and very relatable.

Jack Campbell on the other hand loves programming and is a family man. He loves his family's business but he doesn't know if it's legacy to belong there forever. He is always stuck in the shadow of his brother and that probably is super annoying, which is understandable. His use of sarcasm as a way to hide was very relatable. His POV's were the funniest things ever and I just wanted to give him a hug.

Both Pepper and Jack are the biggest foodies ever. That made me so hungry while reading this book, that I actually went and made cheese biscuits. :) This was a big bonding factor between the two characters and made me immediately root for their relationship. It was really fun reading about them describing their feelings when they were around each other before they understood what it was. Also, their tweets had so much spunk to them and it made me laugh out loud a couple of times. When I think back on this as much as I loved the romance, I loved the friendships more. It was so genuine how much everyone cared for one another and the different levels of loyalty everyone had. This is definitely a must-read that I will now recommend to everyone with eyes.
