Summary…
Pepper is your typical high school overachiever. She’s busy trying to tick all the boxes a college could want, but her mom still wants her running the social media for Big League Burger, their once small local burger joint turned national franchise. Jack is more the laid back type, letting his identical twin brother take all the attention. He spends his after school and summer breaks working at his family’s small local diner, Girl Cheesing. When Jack sees that Big League Burger is launching their new grilled cheese, which has the same name and ingredients as their deli’s special, he can’t keep quiet and he turns to Twitter. Pepper reluctantly joins the Twitter battle, which quickly turns viral. In real life Jack and Pepper set the online war aside and start becoming friend and, unbeknownst to them, they’re also falling for each other in an anonymous chat app.
Review…
I absolutely adored this Young Adult book! It’s You’ve Got Mail, but with grilled cheese instead of books and Twitter instead of newspaper articles/tv interviews. The comparison in plot to a beloved movie is really fun, but the characters and the story are unique and hold up on their own. I expected to enjoy this, but I didn’t know how much I would. I ended up bingeing it in 24 hours over a weekend. When finished, I was so sad that it was over! Reading YA as an adult can go either way for me, but the best ones will immediately take me back to high school, which this certainly did.
I read this on a really tough day and it constantly kept a smile on my face- I can’t think of a better way to summarize my feelings on this book than that! For that reason, this book made my 2019 favorites list, I hope you love it too!
For fans of YA done really well – I would add this to my YA favorites list with Tell Me Three Things and Love & Gelato.

Summary from the publisher…
Meet Pepper, swim team captain, chronic overachiever, and all-around perfectionist. Her family may be falling apart, but their massive fast-food chain is booming ― mainly thanks to Pepper, who is barely managing to juggle real life while 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. His relationship with the business that holds his future might be love/hate, but 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 duking 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?? ― their battle gets more and more personal, until even these two rivals can’t ignore they were destined for the most unexpected, awkward, all-the-feels romance that neither of them expected.
