Thank you again, Goodreads and NetGalley, for giving me an ARC of this book. I really enjoyed it...and it made me hungry for grilled cheese.
The story is kind of simple. Jack and Pepper, both children of different sides of 2 New York City competitive deli/fast food style food chains, also go to the same private high school where they're on different sides of the pool (him on the dive team, her on the swim). They're forced by their parents to engage (unknowingly at first) in a Twitter war with each other's family companies (Pepper's Big League Burger vs. Jack's Girl Cheesing). Also, they're unknowingly talking to each other as friends on an anonymous app (Weazel) that Jack created. When they discover the other one's identity (that they're the Twitter Handler of their family's food chains), they try to keep the "war" professional and not personal, but it's hard when they might secretly be falling for each other on Weazel.
I'll say it right now--this story is a "grilled" cheesy romance (pun intended). It's got a little bit of mystery, diversity, and a cheese romance to boot. It had me smiling and laughing along with the funny parts and awning at the romantic parts (even when Pepper-Jack tried to deny their growing attraction for each other).
I can't really pinpoint a thing I didn't like about the story, and I really enjoyed listening to the audiobook of it.
This book is a good, cheesy, savory teen romance, like a good bite of grilled cheese melting in your mouth. Teen romance fans should give it a go with this one.
