Hangry Hearts, by Jennifer Chen

Once close friends, Julie and Randall now would never think of even speaking to each other.  Their families have been at war with each other ever since the failure of a joint restaurant venture -- a battle fought from their competing food trucks at the weekly farmer's market.  But when they are assigned to work together on a community service project, they rediscover what made them besties in the past.  A secret romance blooms between them, but before they can come clean to their families, they need to find a way to resolve their families' war.  Food plays a large role in bringing them all back together.

A narrative mess with very little romantic heat, the novel suffers.  Too many plots (the community service thread lasts only for about a third of the book and is replaced by others) complicate things and make the  story meander and stray.  I grew impatient for the story to resolve.

The co-stars range from the mildly amusing would-be suitor of Julie to her entirely obnoxious and toxic brother Tyler, but none really perform valuable service.  Instead, the story rests on the suitably interesting protagonists.  Unfortunately, there isn't much to their romance as most of it is off-the-page and lacking in drama.
