Field Notes on Love

Field Notes on Love 
by Jennifer E. Smith
Delacorte Press 2019: 274 pages. Fiction. 

Two teens, Hugo and Mae, are strangers until they share a cross-country train trip that teaches them about love, each other, and the futures they can build for themselves.

I love this book. It moves at a moderate to fast pace and the story isn't too long or too short. Hugo and Mae and other characters in the book are well-thought-out. This love story is sweet, unpredictable, and unique. I'd recommend this book to teens and adults.

Meet Pepper, swim team captain and chronic overachiever. Her family may be falling apart, but their massive fast-food chain is booming - mainly thanks to Pepper, who is 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. He might not like the business that holds his future, 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, 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, even these two rivals can't ignore they were destined for the most unexpected and awkward romance that neither of them expected

Aristotle is an angry teen with a brother in prison. Dante is a know-it-all who has an unusual way of looking at the world. When the two meet at the swimming pool, they seem to have nothing in common. But as the loners start spending time together, they discover that they share a special friendship -- the kind that changes lives and lasts a lifetime. And it is through this friendship that Ari and Dante will learn the most important truths about themselves and the kind of people they want to be.
