I LOVED THIS BOOK!! This was an incredible story and so captivating. I loved how the books took common tropes that are somewhat overused and revamped them into a much more enjoyable way. It was such a contemporary story and by that I mean that it felt so relevant and current. I couldn't help but fall in love with the characters and root for them from start to finish. The baking and cooking elements were also some of my favorites although it did make me wish I had some Monster Cake to eat while reading. This book had a great balance of friendship, family and romance. What a lovely read! I can't wait to see what Emma Lord puts out next.

Unfortunately, this was a DNF for me. I wish I could have liked it, but I couldn't get into the plot or with the characters. I love YA,but I wasn't the right audience for this story.

I loved this YA debut novel, exactly what I needed right now. It was cheesy (literally) and somewhat predictable but in the absolute best way. I would best describe it as a modern day You've Got Mail.

The story follows Jack and Pepper and their tumultuous relationship. Jack is a self taught coding expert, dive team member and employee of his family's local deli, Girl Cheesing. He is sure his family thinks he has very little potential in life and expects he'll take the deli over one day but that's just not where he sees himself. Pepper is new to the city, captain of the swim team, hyper-focused on her grades and college applications, Her family runs a big, corporate chain Big League Burgers. Unexpectedly, Jack and Pepper find themselves in a massive twitter war between their family's restaurants that neither of them started but has taken over both their lives.

I love a good enemy turned lovers story, especially one chalk full of secrets and miscommunications. Aside from your expected romance, I also enjoyed the girl bonding relationship and parental relationship themes that were subplots throughout the story. This was a quick and easy read full of silliness, fun and teenage love nostalgia. Great debut novel!

I received this book in exchange for an honest review from NetGalley.

This one surprised me! The very beginning seemed a little scattered and young YA to me, but I stuck with it and really ended up enjoying it. While this is certainly YA that would appeal mostly to younger readers - there is a lot of talk about parents and schoolwork, it still held my attention. I will say there is a LOT going on in this novel = romance, friendship, siblings, parents, school, business, etc etc etc. Because of this - some relationships end up being less developed, especially those between Pepper and her family. Overall, recommend for younger readers and YA lovers.

I went in pretty blind, without expecting much. I read Contemporaries and enjoy them for the most part. But, I am much more of a Fantasy and Dystopian type reader. But, this was so good. It was cute, funny, and witty but also had some heavy themes involving family dynamics and sibling relationships. It also had a bit of a Romeo and Juliet type vibe which I really liked.

Tweet Cute is exactly the cute/adorable YA my life needed. I've been in a bit of a YA slump and this book killed it dead. It made me laugh and maybe tear up a little bit. It was 1000% adorable. I see this being a YA I go back to with a smile on my face.

I absolutely loved Jack and Pepper's story. They're basically star-crossed lovers, as their family businesses rage this Twitter war over grilled cheese. I loved that they also had this other layer of being connected on this app and not knowing who the other was and also their antagonistic relationship in school. There was so much room for so many things to go wrong and I loved the way it all developed.

I loved Jack and Pepper together. Watching them build a semi-peaceful rapport, to building a friendship, to a relationship, I was there every step of the way with them. They had adorable banter and super cute, "wait, do I like this person?" moments that definitely made the book. Jack and Pepper get to peel back all of these layers of each other as the book progresses and I absolutely loved it. Also, I'm a huge sucker for the whole, "I'm a twin and she's the only person that can always tell us apart." What can I say, the little things make me happy.

This story also deals a lot with family, school and future pressure, which is so real for two seniors in high school. I love that the book didn't skim over this. I was right there with them stressing about pleasing their parents and making the right decisions and trying to stay alive while drowning in pressure.

Their parent's story was something I kinda saw coming but still loved getting the full back story on. It added a whole layer of understanding that I'm glad we got for them. For a long time I was just mad at the parents for placing all this crazy pressure on them and seeing the backstory really made me appreciate them a lot more. Getting Pepper's mom's full story added a new level of respect for her and her choices, even if I was still kinda salty she made Pepper go through all of this.

Overall, this book put a huge smile on my face and I just need everyone to pick this up and gush over it with me.

This was a very fun and engaging YA Romance. I really enjoyed the competition aspect of this novel a lot. The way the romance came together was extra fun as well.
2 teens with warring restaurants battling it out online, while anonymously they are starting to have feelings for one another without knowing who they are.
I feel like I got exactly what I signed up for with this one. Its a good time, and I hope you will check it out!

Tweet Cute was just as the cover suggests: exceptionally cute! If a book had the proverbial chubby baby cheeks I'd be pinching them like an insufferable relative. I had quite a few disappointments with the adorable illustrated covers last year, but this was one of the cases where I was just as enchanted with the inside as the outside. The writing was comparable to one of my favorite YA authors, Ginger Scott who I've been reading for many years. It was such an impressive first offering for a debut author, and I'll definitely be looking out for what she has to offer in the future.

This is a YA rom-com with an enemies to lovers trope. Jack and Pepper are both students at Stone Hall Academy, an elite private school in New York. While they share many classes together, that's about all they share in common-at least that's what they think. On the surface, they couldn't be more different. She is that student who sits at the front of the class, has a perfect GPA, leads the swim team, and is laser focused on making it into Columbia. Her family is well off, and they own a rapidly growing fast-food chain called Big League Burger. Jack doesn't take life too seriously, and takes great joy in provoking Pepper's ire with his playful "pepperoni" nickname. Although he picks on her a bit, it's all in good fun and never mean spirited. His family also owns a restaurant, but it's a family run small business that's currently not bringing in much profit.

Jack has a reputation for being a carefree jokester, but in reality no one really knows his talents or dreams extend beyond his family's expectations. With high school graduation inching closer, he feels the weight of his future pressing down on him. His father has made it abundantly clear that he would be the perfect candidate to take over the reins of Girl Cheesing, and his altogether perfect twin will have the freedom to move onto bigger things. He secretly feels inferior to Ethan-the popular one whom he's always mistaken for. Instead of being his mirror image, it's more like Ethan is the sunlight and he's the shadow. So he keeps his talents, ambitions, and dreams locked up tight and never lets on that he's hurt inside. Probably the biggest thing he's hiding? The fact that he's the creator of the social messaging app, Weazel his whole school is using.

Through Weazel, he's unknowingly been chatting with none other than Pepper. They have a great rapport through their anonymous conversations and feel comfortable telling each other things they can't with the most important people in their lives. I loved their sassy banter back and forth, and enjoyed the irony that they were getting along so well with the person whom they verbally spar with in a whole other way. On twitter, they both fall into a combative, competitive mud slinging match after Big League Burger seems to steal Girl Cheesing's sandwich idea.

I have to admit that for most of the book I was really annoyed at Pepper's mother for not only her nonchalance over their theft of a competitor's recipe, but pushing her daughter into a childish game online. Not only was she selfish in not caring about the effect it was having on her grades, but she made it clear she was never really comfortable doing it in the first place. I couldn't understand why she would be so obtuse as to ignore her daughter's needs in order to tarnish the reputation of a family and their livelihood. However, her mother is hiding some things that shed a whole new light on the entire situation and I ended up sympathizing with her some in the end.

The twitter battles become an all-out war, but both agree that whatever they say online won't affect their real-life growing relationship. Their attraction grows slowly right alongside their mystery friendship on his app, and neither have any idea the two people each were crushing on were the same person. It was a very sweet and innocent romance tangled up in a lot of outside conflict. As they start to fall for each other, a secret will come out about their families that may keep them apart for good. Jack and Pepper must both have the courage to stand up to their parents, and stand up for themselves. There is dirty laundry to be aired, and damaged relationships to finally be mended.

These two were just delightful. Their relationship was so quirky, and their names utterly perfect for the cheesy (in a good way) theme of the book. I mean, come on! Their couple name is Pepperjack!! I also really adored Jack's sassy grandmother and would've loved to have seen a little more page time from her. My reasoning for giving this a four instead of a five was that there were sections of the book that I felt that the plot wasn't moving forward much. I think some of the page count could have been cut out and it would have made for a smoother paced read. But overall, this was a solid, well-written debut by Emma Lord!

By far, the cutest, most character developed YA novel I have read yet. I fell in love with each and every character with the in depth back stories.

Beautiful story with constant wit and clever writing, lends itself to a superb novel. DO NOT let the length of this book fool you, you will not be able to put it down (I was up at 2 a.m. just so I could read a few extra hours before the start of my day.)

5 out of amazing 5, this book is a must read for an age!

I loved Tweet Cute so much!

The characters were real and loveable. I loved the You've Got Mail vibes with the app that Jack and Pepper anonymously chat on. They become friends in real life as they battle it out on Twitter for their family-owned businesses. It was entertaining and fun to read.

I was so annoyed with Pepper's mom most of the book. She is so focused on her business and this Twitter war that she is not putting them in a great light. Pepper was trying so hard to please her mom when really she was drowning.

Jack was such a good friend to her throughout the book. I loved how they both agree (at first) to keep up with the Twitter war, but continue to become better friends. They also continue to chat on the app that Jack created without knowing it's each other they're talking too.

Tweet Cute was a fun read. It was a quick but great. I had the best time reading it!

Pepper moved to Manhattan from Nashville when her family’s fast food joint made it big. She’s about to graduate high school and is Columbia-bound. Pepper’s doing what her family’s expecting of her, but she’s questioning if her dreams align with theirs.

Jack’s family owns a deli in the city and he’s always known that one day he’d take over the family business. He doesn’t quite fit in with the posh private school crowd, unlike his identical twin brother. Secretly, Jack has been creating apps and his latest—Weazel—has really taken off. Weazel is an app for kids from his high school to anonymously chat with other students. His profile nickname is Wolf and he’s been talking to a girl from his school who goes by Bluebird.

Pepper and Jack develop a rivalry when Big League Burger steals a menu item from Jack’s family’s deli—his grandma’s special grilled cheese. The two of them start battling over Twitter and things get a little out of hand.

Little do they know that while they’ve been hashing it out on Twitter and at school, they’ve been Bluebird and Wolf all along. Their connection on Weazel is unreal, but when they find out each other’s true identities, their rivalry just might ruin everything—or will it?

Tweet Cute is Emma Lord’s debut YA novel. This is a fun rom-com that’s a YA version of the movie You’ve Got Mail (one of my all-time favorites). I had a lot of fun reading this one and although YA isn’t usually my thing, I still enjoyed it. If you’re a YA reader and you love cute romances about social media, definitely give this one a try! 4/5 stars.

Thank you to Wednesday Books, NetGalley and Emma Lord for a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Have you been wishing for an updated YA version of You've Got Mail? Or maybe you didn't know you were wishing for it - but it's exactly what you need! This book is such a fun and light-hearted romcom, a perfect antidote to the stress of everyday life.

Pepper is living in NYC with her mom - attending high school, being a captain of the swim team and running a baking blog with her sister who is away at college. She also ends up getting roped into helping with her family's fast food chain (Big League Burger) Twitter account. BLB has been accused of stealing a grilled cheese recipe from a small NYC deli (Girl Cheesing). The two restaurants are duking it out over twitter in a series of snarky memes and comebacks. When Pepper learns the Girl Cheesing account is run by her fellow student Jack - they begin to interact more in real life too.

At the same time - Pepper has been developing an online friendship with someone she only knows as Wolf. The school has an anonymous app called Weazel where each student is assigned a different animal username. They can use it to chat - and eventually the app will reveal their identities but you never know when it will happen. Pepper (as Bluebird) and Wolf have been chatting for months without knowing who the other is in real life. Is Wolf her crush Landon? There are some clues that make it seem like it could be.

I really loved reading this book and spending time with Pepper and Jack. I highly recommend if you're looking for something light and fun! Warning: you may find yourself craving grilled cheese and desserts. I could definitely go for some Monster Cake!

Thank you to Wednesday Books and Netgalley for the advance reading copy.

This book, you guys! It has all the cute! And all the food cravings! Grilled cheese and dessert mashups! But Jack and Pepper are so charming I resisted the urge to start baking in the middle of the book.

Their Upper East Side prep school has all the Gossip Girl vibes, which the characters acknowledge more than once. But they are both a lot more Rory Gilmore, surrounded by the Blairs and Serenas but somehow apart from them, which makes them more relatable for most of us. Pepper even has her own Paris Geller-like frenemy.

What was so interesting to me about Pepper and Jack's relationship was that it developed simultaneously on three different levels: in person as classmates, in a chat app as Wolf and Bluebird, and on Twitter as business rivals. There's actually an additional connection that's revealed at the end too. Watching all of those identities converge was so much fun. Like Jack was the answer to all of Pepper's questions.

Everything they go through brings them closer to friends and family as well so neither are so "separate" by the end of the book. I would love to read a companion novel following other characters from their friend group away at college.

Tweet Cute was so much fun and a refreshing break from my usual reads. Fans of Gilmore Girls are sure to love this one.

<b><i>Characters</i></b> 🌷

➽ <b>Meet Pepper</b>. She’s the daughter of the Big League Burger owners, whose family restaurant gained success and turned into a huge corporate chain. I liked that we got to see the changes that their business success brought to Pepper and her family. She had to move to New York with her mother and attend a prestigious private high school where she felt like an outsider trying desperately to fit in. Throughout the years Pepper has become a perfectionist and a hard-working student who has so many things to juggle at the same time (her school work, extracurriculars and of course the involvement in the corporate Twitter account of her family’s business). The school work and competition is tough at her school and it broke my heart to see her struggle under so much academic pressure. However, I also liked that the book portrays how starved Pepper was for time: she always had so many things to do and felt like she wasn’t allowed to fail. Furthermore, Pepper has worked hard to present a flawless image to the public, sometimes making her appear cold when in reality she’s passionate and snarky. To me, <b>Pepper felt like a very realistic teen and showed how much pressure there is on teenagers to do everything all at once</b>. Of course, it also made me happy to see that she ran a baking blog, as her recipes and baked goods had me craving some cake and chocolate.

➽ <b>Meet Jack</b>. He’s the identical twin of Ethan, the golden child at school who seems to get everything he wants both in school and with their parents. That’s <b>why he often feels overlooked and like no one pays attention to whether or not he wants to inherit the small family diner</b>. I really felt for him, as Jack struggles with being seen and not taken for granted by his twin, in whose shadow he constantly cleans up the messes left behind. He also created the Weazle app and is really into web design, but also feels like he has a responsibility to his family and their diner in which he basically grew up. There is a lot of internal struggles there with Jack, especially as he feels like his twin gets away with everything while he’s left to do the dirty work. I wish we’d seen a better conclusion to his issues with his twin though, as a lot was left unsaid and we never get to truly hear Ethan’s perspective, as his perception of who the ‘golden child’ in the family is, turns out to be very different.

➽ <b>I also liked the secondary characters a lot</b>. <b>Pooja</b> is a student Pepper is competing with since she entered school as both are very good and goes from being a nemesis to a tentative friend. I loved that the book tore down competitiveness between girls (though I’m also glad that their rivalry was entirely focused on schoolwork and did not revolve around trying to date the same guy) and showed that cooperating and helping each other out is so much more important. There’s also <b>Paul – Jack’s dorky best friend – and Paige – Pepper’s sister</b> who’s away for college and had a very rocky relationship with her mother. I do wish we’d seen more of Paul (I feel like we got barely enough information about him, or interaction with Jack to get attached) and Ethan (as we only got to see things from Jack’s perspective). I also wanted more squad dynamics, as we often see Jack and Pepper interacting, but rarely have scenes with multiple characters from school. I’d like to have them all grow closer as a friendship group, similar to the glimpse we get of it at the very end.

➽ <b>Pepper’s mother rubbed me the wrong way though</b>. I know we’re not supposed to excuse her behavior, however, I felt like the narrative could have done better to highlight how invasive her behavior was. Even the moment of truth, in the end, doesn’t really have Pepper’s mom apologizing for her behavior properly or addressing how harmful it is, it was brushed aside too quickly for my taste. To be clear: Pepper was constantly disrespecting her daughter’s boundaries and expecting her to be on call 24/7 to manage their corporate Twitter account despite having a social media team for that. I don’t get why she had an assistant who had no idea how to deal with Twitter. Instead, she pushed her teenage daughter to manage it, sending endless messages even at school. It seemed like Pepper couldn’t escape and she’s not even getting any compensation for it either. Her mother also disregards her concerns about the tone they’re taking on Twitter and basically feels entitled to her time. The <b>scope of her actions wasn’t meant to be excused but I felt like it could have been highlighted better</b>.

<b><i>Romance</b></i> 💗

➽ <b>I liked how realistic and slow burn the relationship between Pepper and Jack was</b>. I’m always here for more slow and quiet romantic developments, as insta-love is off-putting to me. I loved that Pepper and Jack went from rivals to friends and only then to lovers. Their bonding took over a large majority of the book and it lays the perfect foundation for additional romantic development that felt natural. The author wove in the attraction of both characters in an organic way that made me feel the underling romantic tension and had me rooting for both of them to become a couple. Even with external stressors and missteps, there was a lot of respect between both of them and all the tension just added to my suspense of them getting together. Of course, there was also the element of <b>them actually chatting on the Weazel app without knowing it</b> that added another great element of suspense.

<b><i>Plotline</b></i> 📚

➽ <b>The plotline also has a lot to offer: from Twitter wars to academic pressure to family expectations</b>. Tweet Cute covered a lot of important themes and showed a lot of messy family dynamics, as well as how well-meaning expectations (in the case of Jack) can feel stifling and harmful, especially when there’s sibling jealousy involved. Though the Twitter feud aspect between Jack and Pepper’s family businesses appealed to me, it got a bit repetitive towards the middle of the story where it takes up a large majority of the action. I liked the conflict the Twitter battles provided, but it personally was a bit too much for me. While I found that the epilogue was perfect and satisfying, I thought that the plot began to drag a bit towards the end – I thought the story was close to being over but then it continued on for another while.>

My heart just exploded over the cheesiest (grilled-cheesiest that is) romance I have ever read!!!

Love, love, love this with my whole body and soul!

When fast food behemoth, Big League Burger, announces a new line of grilled cheese sandwiches, no one is more surprised than twins, Jack and Ethan Campbell.

Their surprise comes from the fact that one of the specialty sandwiches has the exact same ingredients, and name, as a grill cheese they know very well.

It was created by their Grandma and has been on their family’s New York City deli menu for decades.

Shocked and chagrined by the announcement, Jack turns to Twitter to call BLB out. That one tweet sparks an epic Twitter battle that takes not just NYC, but the world by storm!

Little does he know, at the other end of the Big League Burger Twitter account, is an overachieving classmate of his, Pepper.

Pepper is not native to NYC, having moved there at the start of high school, leaving her hometown of Nashville behind.

Feeling lost and alone in the big city, Pepper throws herself into her studies with an intensity unmatched by most of her peers at the super competitive private school in which she is enrolled.

Unfortunately, neither teen is prepared for the physical and emotional toll the social media battle will have on them.

Over time, neither Jake, nor Pepper feels good about the whole thing and both wish they weren’t involved. They're losing sleep and other more wholesome activities begin to take a backseat to the nonstop drama fest.

At school, Pepper and Jake begin to see more and more of each other and a precious friendship develops.

Little do they know, they have also been corresponding for months on an anonymous direct messaging app created by Jake and used by everyone in their school.

Assigned the pseudonyms, Wolf and Bluebird, their flirty banter is a ray of light in both their lives. But when Jack inadvertently figures out who Bluebird is, how will he navigate transitioning their relationship from the screen to real life.

Full of heart, humor and delicious food, Tweet Cute is sure to delight readers of all ages. I absolutely ate up this story from beginning to end.

There is so much more to this than I have words to describe here. Great friendships, fantastic character growth, witty banter, this book truly brought it all!

Pepper and Jack were both so well developed. The challenges they faced as they completed high school, trying to figure out what they wanted to do with their lives, were really well handled.

Family is a big influence on this story as well and I thought those elements were so relatable and well written.

I am really impressed with this as a debut novel. The pacing and plot twists were expertly crafted to keep the reader engaged throughout.

Thank you so much to the publisher, Wednesday Books, for providing me with a copy of this to read and review, as well as including me in the blog tour.

It has been so much fun and I wish Emma Lord the best with this release.

If this book is any indication, she is poised to have one heck of a career. I cannot wait to see what sort of story she comes up with next!

Tweet Cute is a fun update to the “You’ve Got Mail” kind of story. Pepper and Jack are both likable as our main characters and I liked that they addressed the “PepperJack” name coincidence instead of just letting it be a weird unsaid thing (especially with all the grilled cheese drama). Secondary characters were pretty enjoyable too, though I feel like Pooja needed more exploring–I’d read a book centered on her.

There were parts of the book’s premise that I found a bit improbable. It makes sense to me that Jack might be in charge of running their “hole in the wall” Twitter account, but for Big League Burger to be pawning off Twitter stuff on Pepper? Taffy clearly needed to be fired and BLB needed to hire a competent social media person. I just don’t see Pepper runnin ghte Twitter account in the real world. I also found Pepper’s mom to be an enormous piece of work. She really wasn’t likable…ever. It seemed a bit extreme.

With that being said, I quite liked this book. While there was some semi-fabricated drama, I liked that characters had conversations with each other and worked things out quickly instead of the drama dragging on and on and on because no one would talk to each other. I would recommend this book, but be careful because with all the talk of grilled cheeses and Pepper’s baked goods, you WILL get hungry.

Overall Rating: 3.5
Language: Moderate
Violence: None
Smoking/Drinking: Mild. References and secondary characters participating, but neither of the main characters do anything.
Sexual Content: Mild

Note: I received this book free from the publisher in exchange for an honest review.

Was this seriously a debut novel? Tweet Cute by Emma Lord is one of the best YA contemporary/rom-com's I've read in so long. It was adorable, endearing, and made me laugh out loud more than once. I loved the modern day, high school spin of the 'You've Got Mail' type of story line, and it was so much fun to read!

Jack and Pepper go to the same prep school in NYC. Pepper is the overachieving student who is captain of the swim team and is constantly striving to be perfect in all things. Jack is an identical twin and feels like he lives in the shadow of his more popular brother Ethan. He works for his family's deli, and Pepper is helping her mom with their chain of Big League Burger's twitter account.

When the BLB steals one of the most popular items on the deli's menu, a twitter war ensues. And Pepper and Jack are caught right in the middle of the cross-hairs. Only they don't know it... at first. Once they figure it out, it goes from being a straight up rivalry/war to more of a game. The banter between these two was top notch and you could feel the chemistry oozing from them every time they were around each other.

I loved watching these two connect and become friends of sorts. I think my favorite part of the book was watching them fall for each other and truly connect on a deeper level in an online anonymous school app Jack created as Wolf and Bluebird. The app is where they went when they both needed a real world break. Things changed rather drastically for them, as they went from being normal high school students to the faces of their respective businesses that strangers on the internet were shipping. It was a huge shock.

Pepper was snarky and witty, and Jack was the absolute best. They both had a lot of expectations placed on them, and much of this book was a coming of age story of them figuring out life and what they wanted to do for themselves despite this family feud their family businesses have going on and all the outside pressure.

Tweet Cute is a strong YA debut that's highly entertaining, well written, and charming. Also, be prepared for this book to make you want some sweets! I would love to have a few of Pepper's dessert recipes! This book was fantastic and I recommend it whole heartily!

Tweet Cute was nothing like I expected it to be, but it was still so good. A quick,
adorable read, that was fun throughout.
Pepper and Jack are the perfect match, and their chemistry that was built on opposites attract and works perfectly. I was rooting for them from the beginning.
I really enjoyed how it was written. I thought it flowed really well. The characters were great. I loved the interactions they had, and how the backstories tied themselves together in the end.
I couldn’t help but feel for Pepper for most of the book. Her relationship with her parents, as well as how she kept quiet about a lot of things resonated with me.
The only reason this isn’t a 5 star for me is because of the plot. It was paced to my liking, it didn’t feel rushed or stalling, but I felt like it was going back and forth a lot. At moments this was a bit frustrating to me.
But overall, this was an entertaining read, with great characters and an intriguing story. It’s a great addition to the YA/Contemporary genre. And I look forward to reading more from Emma Lord in the future.

4.5 stars

I absolutely loved this YA story. It perfectly captured two teenagers on the precipice of change, figuring out who they are, and maybe finding each other at the same time.

Jack and Pepper are both pulled into a conflict between their parents respective restaurants over a possibly stolen recipe. Everything starts to play out over Twitter without them realizing they know each other in real life too.

The story moves at a good pace and covered more than I expected. I assumed the reveal of who was behind the accounts might not come until very close to the end of the story. I liked the direction the author took the characters and plot in, though, and it's hard to believe this is her debut novel!

Even though this book is brand new, I cannot wait to read whatever she will publish next.

*I WAS PROVIDED AN e-ARC OF THIS NOVEL VIA THE PUBLISHER FOR THE PURPOSES OF A BLOG TOUR. THIS DOES NOT AFFECT MY OPINION*

I've always wanted to read a book that has a bit more of a social media vibe going to it, considering that that's what most of us readers do and use nowadays! And did I receive it? Well, I believe so.

Tweet Cute is just as the title suggests. It's "cutesy" through and through. The novel has many cliches and all-round puns that dive deep into the reality of the world, while also playing off the digital one.

The plot of this novel was pretty fun and original, and the writing style the author introduced was pretty great! There were a bunch of moments within the book that I found to be really intriguing and nice.

However, with good also comes bad.

This novel was super slow. It was just about as slow as Crime and Punishment, which I'm currently being forced to read by my AP Language & Composition teacher for the entirety of our second semester. Now, I hadn't taken into account that I was going to be reading two highly slow-moving books this month, and it really did kind of throw me for a bit of a 'whhhyyyyyy' moment.

Along with that, I just found that the character development could've used some improvement. You really could tell that this book was a debut, in that the author could've spent more time making her characters better. For example, Pepper came off kind of snobby in quite a few parts of this book, which is something you never really want to see coming from a supposed "protagonist."

That being said, this book was fairly good in the ending! Towards the climax, it really picked up speed and wrapped itself up in a little, messy bow (my favorite). For that, I rate this book 3 stars.
