My friends weren't the biggest fan of this one, so I went in with lower expectations, and it ended up really surprising me? I definitely see how this isn't for everyone, but I ended up finding it cute, especially as an easy audiobook to listen to while playing Minecraft.

The family relationships were sometimes quite tough to listen to, and there were so many times I just wanted to yell at the parents or siblings. The main characters made up for it, though, and I really liked their dynamic together, too. I think Jack was definitely my favorite, and I liked the perspective on twins that this story tried to give, and how it differed from the standard sibling rivalry due to them being identical. I felt like the twitter war was a good entrance into their dynamic, even if at some point I sort of lost interest in it and was more interested in their real life interactions.

This book tried to tackle a lot in the main characters' personal lives too, and I like how they seemed to have the same focus (extreme parental expectations regarding the future), yet manifested in entirely differently ways. It allowed for bonding between Pepper and Jack without ever feeling too repetitive. I also liked that this book didn't necessarily emphasize going to college as the only path forward, and that both the characters really spent time thinking about what was good for them and their future, not just what was expected of them.

Overall, this was a cute, light read, and it overall was just a lot of fun! I'll definitely be trying some of this author's other books, and hopefully get the same vibe and feelings from it!
