Hangry Hearts is the story of Julie and Randall- two ex-friends whose families are now in a legendary feud. When they are forced together for a class project, neither of them expect sparks to fly between them. As Julie and Randall reignite their friendship, they start to crush on each other. But since their families would riot if they came clean about their feelings, do they even have a future together?
Hangry Hearts is a lighthearted and sweet YA. The descriptions of food were mouthwatering and I enjoyed how Julie and Randall had such a strong connection to their families through food. Don’t read this book hungry! I loved the LGBTQ rep and how accepting their families were. Hangry Hearts is as much a story about families and the ties that bind them together as it is about romance. I really enjoyed the relationship between the two grandmothers and learning about the reason behind their feud. Hangry Hearts is a deliciously sweet YA! Readers who enjoy stories about complex and loving families, tasty food, and LGBTQ rep will enjoy this book.
