'Gossip Girl meets Mean Girls mixed with To All The Boys I've Loved Before with a touch of You've Got Mail. It's basically impossible not to like.' Hypable Meet Pepper, swim team captain, chronic overachiever, and all-around perfectionist and secretly running Big League Burger's massive Twitter account. Enter Jack, class clown and constant thorn in Pepper's side. When he isn't trying to duck out of his obscenely popular twin's shadow, he's busy working in his family's deli and when Big League Burger steals his grandma's iconic grilled cheese recipe, he'll do whatever it takes to take them down, one tweet at a time. All's fair in love and cheese - that is, until Pepper and Jack's spat turns into a viral Twitter war. Little do they know, while they're publicly duelling it out with snarky memes and retweet battles, they're also falling for each other in real life - on an anonymous chat app Jack built. As their relationship deepens and their online shenanigans escalate -- people on the internet are shipping them - even these two rivals can't ignore they were destined for the most unexpected, awkward, all-the-feels romance . . .

Too cute! Loved everything about this.
5 stars for all the tumblr references
This was very cute.
Things I liked:
-Misunderstandings that actually make sense
-The baked goods
- I liked that they knew who was on the other end of twitter account early on. It allowed for a more competitive spirit and they didn't have to forgive each other for as much stuff. Also, it makes sense that it would come up in conversation.
-Weazel!
Things that weren't so great:
-Some of the side characters had motivations that I just didn't get. It felt like the author wanted a particular set up to happen, but didn't build a strong enough foundation.
- Some of the decisions the parents were made were kinda crappy, but it gets swept under the rug at the end.
- Some parts of the ending just felt to0...sweet? tidy? The delivery app getting a chat service and games is just weird. I get why the character would want it but it pulled out the story a little bit with the perfectness. True neutral:This book has *alot* of pop culture references. And I got them! But I'm in my late 20's and theoretically, not the target audience. I'm not sure if current high schoolers will enjoy these as much. (To be clear, I'm making fun of current teenagers. I'm just not sure they're watching Mean Girls *and* Gossip Girl. I get that some media is forever, but still. )
This book started off well. The characters were likeable but but unfortunately it dragged on and on with the twitter war drama. I read for romance and found it lacking.
I never DNF books but wtf was this book??
I got 70% through it and I really can't force myself to finish it. It's so atrocious.
For a book about having a presence on the internet, it really didn't know much about social media and how people act on there.
It was cringey (I hate that word but I don't know how else to describe it) and the story read like a 12 year olds daydream scenarios. Not realistic in the slightest and it had many things left unaddressed (that maybe get addressed in the last 30% but I doubt it)
Would recommend for 10-13 year olds tbh
