I've heard great reviews about Tweet Cute, but unfortunately I never got to the book before I lost interest in reading YA titles. I will read it in the future when I am in a YA mood. DNF
I received an advanced digital copy of this book from the author, publisher and NetGalley.com. Thanks to all for the opportunity to read and review. The opinions expressed in this review are my own.
Tweet Cute is just that: cute. An adorable, escapist read that is perfect for the summer. Completely enjoyable from beginning to end.
5 out 5 stars. Highly recommended.
This book is just so precious.
I don't read a ton of contemporary, but when I saw this cover and read the premise I KNEW I needed to read it, and it did not disappoint.
I love how the tweets and messages were integrated throughout the novel. They were one of my favorite parts of the book because they were so whimsical and full of epic sarcasm. I laughed so many times, and any book that can bring such emotion is a win for me.
I especially loved how their names were Pepper and Jack.... Pepperjack... like the cheese. And they're fighting over a grilled cheese recipe... get it? XD
Aaaanyway. I loved how they were into really unique hobbies and sports that don't always get represented in books, or if they are in books they don't come off as realistic. And I loved their cooking scenes! Those were some of the sweetest scenes and left me trying to imagine the aromas. The whole story was engaging and a warm read and feel good.
If you want to read a fun, romantic comedy that is full of snark, competitive characters, and has lots of food, Tweet Cute is for you.
Thank you Wednesday Books for providing an arc to review.
A YA romcom that’s You’ve Got Mail meets The Parent Trap meets Romeo and Juliet for the new digital age!

Pepper is an all-around perfectionist, type-A personality intent on keeping the peace at home between her mother and herself after her older sister and mom had a falling out. Her inability to stand up for herself leads her to running her mother’s social media Twitter account for Big League Burger, the company her divorced parents own together. But when a local mom and pop restaurant finds out Big League Burger stole one of their recipes, all bets are off and a twitterstorm is born. Little does Pepper know that the guy on the other end of the tweets is the thorn in her side at school, Jack. Furthermore neither knows that the other one is who they’ve been chatting with on a campus app created for classmates to get to know one another. What happens when the two find out who the other really is?

I adore this trope based on two movies that I love because it’s enemies to lovers AND friends to lovers at the same time. I am a huge fan of Emma Lord since reading You Have A Match and can’t wait to read her next book releasing in January. If you’re looking for an adorable young adult novel with strong characters, mishaps, laugh out loud moments with some baking thrown in, then Tweet Cute is it!
so cute in every single way and also made me touched and indignant and worried and gleeful. think there was a perfect balance of jack and pepper (and build-up) and their respective lives and families. all of it was truly just *chef's kiss*
I am sorry for not reviewing fully but I don’t have the time to read this at the moment. I believe that it wouldn't benefit you as a publisher or your book if I only skimmed it and wrote a rushed review. Again, I am sorry for not fully reviewing!
This is a cute romantic comedy YA book with central themes of family, friendship, and forgiveness. Pepper's family is famous for their burger restaurant which has developed into a widely known chain and become very well known around the country, even though she and her Mom are living in New York. In the middle of a Twitter war with a local deli, Pepper is surprised to find out that the son of the deli owner is none other than Jack Campbell, a cute and aggravating boy in her school who likes to tease her for everything. Now Pepper and Jack are spending a lot of time together planning things for the swim and dive teams that they respectively captain. All the while Pepper is talking anonymously to a boy who is known as Wolf on an app for their school, and she finds herself growing close to Wolf and wondering who he is IRL. is he the cute boy, Landon, who Pepper has had a crush on for years? Cute story, a bit slow at times, but fans of rom coms will enjoy it.
Enjoyed reading this romcom brought into the 21st century with a war of tweets. Pepper is a high school over-achiever who also runs her parents' Big League Burger Twitter account. Jack attends the same private high school as Pepper, and runs his parents' deli Twitter account. When Big League Burger and the deli get into a tweeting war, things change when Pepper and Jack find out they are tweeting against each other. Enjoyed the book. Tweet Cute was also the runner up book in our high school's annual Kindle Tournament that started with 16 books (like a March Madness). Will be recommending to students to read for sure. Thanks to Ms. Lord, Wednesday Books, and NetGalley, for the opportunity to read and review this book.
I am pleasantly surprised at how much I ended up loving this young adult romance-comedy. The characters are relatable and easy to bind with. Young adult fans will enjoy this cast of characters and plot. I will no doubt be recommending this story to many.
I've mostly grown out of the YA contemporary romances, but Tweet Cute was a fun ride overall. Pepper and Jack have a rivalry over their families' burger businesses which turns into so much more. This story was fun, and cute, while also being different enough from other YA meet cute stories. I'd love to read other novels by Emma Lord.
I thought this book was super cute. I loved the rivalry between Pepper and Jack just as much as I liked the romance. OMG I'm just realizing their name is PepperJack and the store rivalry was over a grill cheese sandwich. Too cute. I really thought this was a good book and I think it will appeal to young readers.
Absolutely loved this one! Emma Lord has quickly become one of my go to contemporary authors and I adored her debut so much. Can't wait to continue reading her books.
Personally, I found Tweet Cute to be a bit boring, and could not finish it. I've discovered contemporary romances with a focus on social media don't interest me like I thought they might.
I received an arc of this title from NetGalley for an honest review. This was the second book from Emma Lord that I have read and I wish she would hurry up and write more. I really liked this teen novel though it was a bit angsty at times, as are most teen novels. Great back stories, characters and twists and turns.
An adorable YA story that fit so so so many different messages and themes in without hitting readers over the head with them. I loved all the foodie stuff and the depth of the characters.
This was such a cute, lighthearted YA romance! An adorable debut that feels very much like an indicator of a great new voice in YA, and I'm looking forward to reading Emma's next release. It really was a fun little read the made me smile—perfect for fans of food, fun and Twitter.
Super cute and really fun YA contemporary. I loved the premise, the characters were incredibly charming and I enjoyed the use of social media. I will definitely be checking out what this author does in the future!
What an adorable book! Pepper and Jack are classmates who’s parents both own restaurants. Restaurants that engage in a twitter war! Jack and Pepper have really good banter and slowly relationship blossoms beyond just friendship. They have crushes on each other but uncertain if the feelings are reciprocated.
As an added layer, Jack created an app that allows students to anonymously talk with each other through an assigned secret code name. Pepper has also developed feelings for “Wolf”. Based on the premise of the app, she doesn’t know that Wolf is Jack. She thinks it is someone else. I thought the was fun, though clearly there are downsides to the app. I didn't like how that made Jack feel insecure when it came to his feelings for Pepper.
I loved how both these kids handled issues with their parents, the pressures of making future decisions, and dealt with complexities with their siblings. Overall, the romance and the family dynamics in this book really made me love the story!
4.5 stars rounded to 5 for Goodreads.
Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.
This book is a cute one. It centers around two high school students who get caught in a Twitter war representing their family businesses. Of course there is romance! This one was just what I needed to brighten my mood. Highly recommend for a fun Y/A pick.
Emma Lords wonderful romance writing will have you swooning. This is a great book that mixes classic romantic tropes and the digital age. This book has a little bit of enemies to lovers and star crossed lovers that fans of YA Contemporary novels will adore. I know I did.
