Pepper is a high school senior with a lot on the line. She is trying to have the best grades, be the captain of the swim team, post on the baking blog she has with her sister, and secretly run her parents' restaurant corporation, Big League Burger's, massive Twitter account. 
Jack is also a high school senior (and a pain in Pepper's side). He is trying to step out of his identical twins shadow while also managing school, dive team, and working shifts at his family's deli. And when Big League Burger steals his grandma's grilled cheese recipe, he goes to bat for the family on Twitter. 
Quickly there is a viral Twitter war between Pepper and Jack. They are trading barbs in front of the whole internet while behind the scenes they are anonymously chatting and falling for each other on the app Jack created for their school.
How will the resolve the feud? When will they find out who is behind the anonymous handle they have been chatting with? How will they deal with the consequences of both?

Emma Lord is the only YA writer I consistently read. Her books are fun and don't deal too heavily in teenage angst. They feature teens just trying to find their way in the world and communicating with and dealing with parents don't always make things easy. 
In this book, I loved how these characters got to know one another in oubkic and on the anonymous app. They could see each other in ways no one else could. And as a result of their feud and secret correspondence, they have to navigate their public and private lives in new ways as they also have to contend with who they are and who they want to be. 
I really enjoyed the journey these characters took and I will continue to read whatever Emma Lord writes.
Warning: do not read while hungry. This book will make you more so.
