As soon as I saw this book I knew I had to read it. This new take on You've Got Mail/the Shop Around the Corner was very entertaining and sweet.
One sentence summary: Pepper and Jack are seniors at a competitive Upper East Side High School who are dragged into their two families' social media spat, all while they get to know each other anonymously online and deal with standard growing-up issues.
I really liked Pepper and Jack, and felt for them. Both were well-developed, rounded characters. Though I'm no longer a teenager, I think a lot of the emotions they went through (disappointing people, stress, life confusion, jealousy) are relatable at any age. The other characters (Pooja, Paul, Ethan, Paige, etc) were less well-developed, and while I understand that the plot comes first, they felt a bit flat and one-dimensional. I would have particularly liked to see Ethan fleshed out a bit more- the twins' mutual resentment made sense, but I don't think we ever saw enough of their relationship to be invested in it. I realize we only have Jack's POV, but Ethan just kind of annoyed me. Speaking of annoying, don't even get me started on Pepper's mom...
A few more observations: 1. Monster Cake sounds absolutely delicious. 2. I'm not sure if the younger crowd will get some of the pop culture references (High School Musical, Gossip Girl, etc) but I hope they do! (Otherwise I'm just old). 3. [Spoiler-ish]- were there really no college-acceptance-repercussions from some of things that happened? 4. I liked the relative lack of drama caused by miscommunication. It was definitely there, but it wasn't endlessly dragged out.
Despite the few issues, I loved this book and will be enthusiastically recommending it to patrons and friends. Thank you to Netgalley, Emma Lord, and the publisher for an advanced copy of the book in exchange for my honest review.
