It's Pepper and Jack's senior year. Pepper is trying to stay on top of her grades and be captain of the swim team. Jack is living in the shadows of his twin brother, Ethan, while helping his family with their deli. Each of their families owns a restaurant, but Pepper's family has gone national. The Twitter battle between the two restaurants will fall into the hands of these young adults. But even though they know each other from school, they don't know that the other is on the other side of the battle. What will happen when it's all laid out on the table?

Thank you to NetGalley and St. Martin's Press for the opportunity to read and review this book.

When I was about 30% of the way through this book, I was sure I was going to give it three stars. The story was cute, but it was moving slowly and I could predict how this story was going to end. But not too long afterwards, there was a twist, I didn't see coming. And there were more surprises to come. When it was all said and done, I really enjoyed this story and I even found myself getting a bit emotional towards the end.

This book is about family and young love. It's about food and friendship and finding out who you are supposed to be at a pivotal point in your life.

For all of my YA Romance fans, I highly recommend that you check this title out.

Audiobook Review: Sweetbitter by Stephanie Danler

Sweetbitter by Stephanie Danler

Tess has just picked up her entire life in Ohio and decided to move to New York City. She has no plans, no job, but she knows she has to get away. When she arrives in New York, she already has a
place to live lined up, but she has to move quickly to find a job. She drops her resume at several coffee shops and restaurants and hopes for the best. When she come upon one of the best restaurants in the city. She's sure she won't have a shot with this place, but what is there to lose? She is pleasantly surprised when she is invited to train.

It took me a while to get through this book. Vacation was a big part of it and another part was that I just didn't find myself drawn to the story. I think those in the restaurant industry will appreciate this book. My husband, who isn't a reader, was intrigued by the story as I was listening to it once when he was in the car. The main reason I decided to pick up this book was because I was interested in the TV show on Starz after seeing the previews. I had to read the book first before I could watch the show.

So after a month, I finally got through the book. I'm not sure I would ever want to work at a restaurant after this. All the drinking, drugs and sex that goes on. It seems like everyone is sleeping with the everyone else and no one seems to care. I'm sure if I was younger this book would be more appealing to me.
