One of Forbes Best YA of 2020

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.

Maybe just Jack and Pepper, then

— Tweet Cute, 2020.
“It’s weird, how you have no idea how far you’ve come until suddenly you can’t find the way back.”

Após um escândalo envolvendo a grande rede de Fast Food chamado Big League Burguer, Pepper— a filha perfeccionista dos donos do estabelecimento, encontra-se em guerra nas redes sociais com um pequeno restaurante familiar que acusou a famosa empresa de plágio. Pepper só não poderia sonhar que o indivíduo por trás desta confusão era ninguém menos que Jack, o palhaço de sua turma que sonha em sair da sombra de seu irmão gêmeo.

Recordo-me de ter finalizado este livro cerca de um mês atrás, contudo meu sentimento em relação a ele foi de tanta indiferença que até divaguei para escrever uma resenha. O enredo foi bem divergente daquilo que eu ansiava, possuindo uma história pobremente desenvolvida e um drama comicamente tosco. Pepper e Jack apesar de adoráveis, não foram bem trabalhados pela autora— algo deplorável considerando a premissa focada especialmente no relacionamento de ambos.
Por fim, gostaria de categorizar como uma leitura leve e delicada que talvez houvesse de me agradar com maior intensidade quando mais jovem— que todavia, para meu senso literário atual não passou de uma história desamparada e definitivamente esquecível.
