I want to give this book five stars because it was super cute. However, I kept finding myself wondering how far through the book I was. It seemed longer than it actually was. This is a sign to me that I'm not absolutely loving a book, so I had to go with four stars.

While this book started slow for me, I eventually fell in love with the characters. I loved watching their relationship from both person's perspective as well as both online and in real life. Getting to hear from both Jack and Pepper in different chapters kept the book interesting. I liked knowing what both of them were thinking. That being said, since I knew both sides, there were times that I wanted to yell at them to just talk to each other!

The ending was cute, and I liked the little twist towards the end. It kept it interesting. Overall, it was a cute story.

4 stars
I received this book for free in return for an honest review.

Tweet Cute is an adorable, fun story where two high school seniors fall in love while engaging in a Twitter war with each other. It's deliciously entertaining.

Jack and Pepper's parents both own sandwich shops. Pepper's family owns Big League Burger, which has franchises all over the world. Jack's parents own a small deli, Girl Cheesing. When it seems like Big League Burger stole Girl Cheesing's grilled cheese recipe, Jack is undoubtedly upset. He originally takes out his frustrations on Pepper, who he thinks might be behind the theft.

Their enemies-to-lovers story is totally cute. I loved the characters and how they start to grow together, as well as how they discover more about themselves and what they want from their lives. Over the course of a year, they mature, and it's lovely to see how they change.

But there's more to this cute story than meets the eye. The story has a lot to say about parental expectations and how people's actions can hurt their family members. Additionally, there's more to the Girl Cheesing/Big League Burger feud than meets the eye. You don't get to find out what's behind it completely to the end, but it made for a satisfying ending.

The story is set in New York City, as well as an exclusive private high school, which I can totally feel in the story.

Tweet Cute will probably appeal to people who like food (there are a lot of descriptions of yummy food here), people who like to Tweet, use computers, or use apps, or have ever been frustrated with family members. Although this book had a lighthearted feel to it, it definitely had some depth to it. I definitely recommend.

Tweet CUTE, indeed! This book was full of cheesy (*wink wink*) goodness, and I loved every second!

Pepper and Jack are two New York teens involved in the food industry. Pepper’s family started Big League Burger, a once small fast food joint that exploded into one of the largest chains in America. Jack’s family owns Girl Cheesing, a cute, quaint deli that’s been family run for generations. When recipes get stolen and truths are revealed, Pepper and Jack find themselves running the social media accounts for their family’s restaurants and a Twitter feud for the ages breaks out between them.

I love how heartfelt this novel was. Both teens clearly love their families and their family businesses even if there are also problems within each. The banter between them is some of the best and the tweets are so clever and shady without being too over-the-top mean. The family drama felt real, and the secrets revealed within the restaurant drama were juicy!

Pepper and Jack are both such fun characters to follow and I really loved their annoyance-to-lovers vibe. The two are classmates and have always just kind of tolerated each other. There’s never really been any hatred, but they’ve also never really gotten to know each other in the past, so any relationship they had previous to this story was surface level. I love what it grew into when they were able to really interact and get to know one another. Plus, the fact that their ship name is “PepperJack” and they’re feuding over grilled cheese is just the kind of cute gimmick I love. The fact that it gets acknowledged and kind of gets poked fun at within the novel just makes it even better.

If you’re looking for a fun, fast paced contemporary that’s full of heart and laughter, then this is definitely one you should check out!

Where to begin with this scrumptiously adorable little read? Emma Lord has definitely smashed it out of the park with her debut novel, full of fun, and sass, and genuine relationships, and beyond cruel descriptions of the most hunger inducing and mouth watering desserts (seriously, the book should come with a warning and free cake!). The novel lives up to it's sweet moniker and was delightful, fast-paced, and a pleasant break from an unpleasant world.

Set in fast-paced New York, Pepper and Jack are acquaintances from a fancy up-scale Public School who work, swim, and dive hard in the day, and produce all the sass and delicious baked goods for their respective family eateries by night. Pepper is the daughter of Big League Burger's founders, and is relied upon for the corporate twitter 'burns' that get the fourth biggest burger joint nationally it's name. Jack is the grandson of Grandma Belly, the inventor of the world's greatest grilled cheese (*arguably) and found of Girl Cheesing, a small family run Upper-East Side sandwich shop. The two companies, and so the two teens, become embroiled in a bitter twitter feud about he authenticity of grilled cheese recipes, that spills over into real-life for everyone involved.

It is clear from the outset that Pepper and Jack will move from acquaintances to friends, and most likely into a romantic relationship. I think it was a smart move on Lord's part to embrace this rather than shy away from it, as the resulting relationship that blooms between them and between side characters as a result feels both genuine and warming as a result. Pepper is fiercely driven, and while she is good at the twitter burns her move expects her to deliver and is a wickedly good swimmer and baker, she is funny, charming, intelligent, and enjoys spending time with people who share similar vibes and passions. Enter Jack, who loves computer programming and helping in the family business but wants to prioritise the first while being shoe-horned into the second. A talented member of the dive squad, inventor of the school's mysterious social media platform Weazel, and identical twin, he embraces Pepper's talents and intelligence and enjoys being recognised for himself and his thoughts by someone he really likes.

The book itself is told in a normal linear narrative that tracks the relationship from the two characters, from their different points of view as they interact with each other and their significant others throughout the story, however, underpinning this is the reliance the book has on food and social media. Whether twitter, or mentions of Tumblr, online webzines or tailor made secretive apps that allow school kids to talk anonymously until it randomly reveals their identities, it is clear that the author both has a great grasp of and enjoys using and interacting on social media. Both food and social media are seamlessly woven into the narrative to create an extra layer that is often missing in other stories, and it both relies on and needs the interactions that take place as a result of them. The social media personalities are different sides of the characters, and instead of creating new personas and being completely different people, you can see and feel the character voices in what they post, and see how it forms a more rounded view of one another as a result. Food is used similarly to cross divides and as an extension of self expression for both the protagonists and their families and it is a great and uniquely finished concept within the YA contemporary books I have read.

The book itself was a treat. It was sugary and cutesy and of a gossip girl meets Great British Bake Off mould that will appeal to younger audiences for sure, and old audiences looking to read something light and fluffy. The book never pretends to be something that it is not, and Emma Lord has delivered an enjoyable read, that while not twisty, turny, or unexpected in anyway, felt like a lovely slice of calm and humour. I'd whole-heartedly recommend the book, and found it has left me with an urge to bake and swim again, a pleasant side effect when finishing any book I'd say!

sometimes it’s easy to forget how genuinely enjoyable a well written rom-com is. I feel like I often drift off into the world of drama and dark/high fantasy merely for the complexity of the characters and the world building, but honestly? reading books like Tweet Cute is such an underrated pleasure and I can attest to this because I swallowed this book whole in a SINGLE SITTING and I literally can’t stop smiling since I finished!!

the beautiful story elements that make up the world of Tweet Cute are SO GOOD. the tropes and the cliches work so well together, the heartfelt dynamic between the characters and their incredible chemistry are obviously a bonus, as is the fact that the plot line fit the pacing of the book exactly right. Emma Lord did an amazing job and I can’t wait to read more from her, her characterization skills are TO DIE FOR. Tweet Cute is heartwarming and adorable and extremely amusing and a such a pleasant surprise. thanks again to St. Martin’s Press and Wednesday Books for providing a free copy for me to read!!

Good Lort. I know people have said it before me...but the cuteness in this book? Dawwwww!

I love a good enemies to lovers story and TWEET CUTE did not disappoint. On one side of the ring we have Pepper, a 17 year old girl from Nashville who moved to New York City a couple of years ago and has been attending an elite high school. She's the heiress to a fast food chain and loves to bake delicious things with weird names. On the other side, facing our rich girl adversary is Jack, classmate and son of small business owners in the Big Apple. And you guessed it, they are running a deli. He is also a wizard when it comes to coding apps and responsible for a little socializing app he made for his school specifically. Only no one knows about this little fact. A grilled cheese special, of all things, is what pushes these two in a Twitter war that soon is in danger to spiral a little out of control.

At some point, it stopped being a war and started being a game.

I thought the forth and back between Pepper and Jack was fun! I wish I had been that eloquent and smart at that age. But what I loved most about it was that their growing friendship and attraction didn't suffer for it. In fact, it actually enhanced their connection.

“You know, for someone named Pepper, you’re pretty salty about losing.”
She groans at my pun as she shoves her hair back into the cap, but then counters, “For someone named Jack, you’re pretty bad at knowing when to hit the road.”

I loved their innocence and inexperience so much and that first and second kiss are my favorite things in this story. Ahhh, to be a teenager again! Smartass lines and twitter war notwithstanding I felt that Pepper and Jack were pretty mature and reflected on themselves quite a bit. They saw the things that went wrong in their lives and fixed them.

And then we’re hugging, because I guess that’s just a thing we do now, and it’s great and it’s awkward, but it’s terrible because as soon as it happens, I don’t want to let her go.

I have to admit that Pepper's mom annoyed the hell out of me for most of the book - a 17 year old girl has no business being responsible for the social media account of a big company. And when she started pressuring her daughter I wanted to smack some sense into her but you while reading I got a sense that there were some more serious reasons afoot, why Pepper's mom was a dog with a bone about it. So when the dirty laundry was aired I understood why. Likewise, Jack's dad and his expectations of Jack irritated me a little but that was cleared up, too. It really irked me that everyone in his family seemed to underestimate this bright young man. And don't get me started on his twin brother.

TWEET CUTE is an adorable, highly amusing YA debut with a lot of pop culture references. I was hungry for most of the book and my sweet tooth craved some sugary calories. I also had the urge to watch Mean Girls again.
I'm really impressed with the writing style that has a very engaging flow to it. I will definitely read more of this author!

There you have it, folks. A fitting end to the cheesiest romance ever told, and a love we can all brie-lieve in.

I originally did not finish this book at 31 percent but I ended up trying it again because I was not in the greatest book reading mood earlier in January.

Tweet Cute was still a little bit difficult to get into and it ended up being just an ok read for me with a two star rating. Thank you Netgalley and publishers for giving me the chance to read and review this book. This had no impact on my thoughts, my thoughts are my own.

“ How can a person even know who they are if they don’t know what they want? ”

🌟 First, thanks for the publisher for reaching out to me and making me part of this blog tour. Also, thanks for the ARC that has been provided through Netgalley. This of course, did not affect my opinions on this book.

🌟 So, when I read the synopsis of this book, I just knew I had to read it. I don’t read much romance but I like to read one in a while. The synopsis promises food, twitter, haters to lovers, fluffy romance and in addition to that there were many puns!

🌟 The writing is very accessible and easy to read. after reading a few pages, my kindle app showed that I need 4 hours to finish it so I finished it fairly quickly and I would be reading for an hour without realizing that. The book is not very lyrical, so there was not many quotes that I highlighted but at the same time, I prefer this for a contemporary story. If you know me, then you know I love puns and as I mentioned above, there were puns and snarky tweets in this book!

“You know, for someone named Pepper, you’re pretty salty about losing.”

🌟 I liked the characters, Pepper and Jack were both humans, they were not all black or white and I enjoyed that we got to see all their sides! The romance was fluffy, cute and clean! I don’t think there was anything explicit in this one. I was conflicted about one thing that Jack did but the author apparently does not encourage it and it was explained later and he regretted it. The parents in this book were also realistic, I like the fact that the book tackles some important issues such as graduation and what to do next, following our dreams and most importantly not comparing ourselves to others (I liked that the comparison was between 2 twins who look exactly alike).

🌟 The plot seems to depend on coincidences but at the same time, I lived enough to see that this kind of stories really happens in real life. The book name implies that Twitter is involved and it was, although I wish we have seen more tweets! People who don’t know the website may be slightly confused of how twitter works but I don’t think it is enough to change the reading experience. I was in the mood for something light and fluffy and this book delivered.

“I’d be much more disappointed if you didn’t go out in the world and do something you loved because you wanted to make me happy.”

🌟 Summary and Prescription: I believe this book will be fairly successful when it comes out. I don’t have much to criticize, I liked the characters, the plot and the writing. If you are looking for a cute romance, then this one is for you!

When I saw in the description that this YA romcom features two of my favorite tropes (enemies to lovers, and epistolary) I had high expectations.

The author managed to meet them and surpass them.

The book has had a ginormous publicity push—if you take a fast look at Goodreads, you’ll see that it has ten times more reviews before its pub date than many books get over their lifetime.

So I’m not bothering with a description. Instead, I want to ramble about what made me enjoy this book so much.

First, the voices. Lord differentiates Pepper and Jack’s voices, so reading their opinions of the other was interesting, often hilarious. I thoroughly enjoyed their banter over the social media app that Jack invented, in which schoolmates take on identities as animals. I loved the fact that he designed it to deflect the toxicity that social media can swiftly turn into, especially in highly-cathected circs between the young and hormonally fuel-injected. What that said about Jack (besides his being bright) made him interesting as well as admirable.

The descriptions of the foods, especially the pastries, made me hungry. (Except monster cake. That sounded horrible!)

I loved the side characters. The respective parents and siblings are all complicated as well as sometimes wry, even funny, without either descending to stupidity or overwhelming the story. The attention stays firmly on Jack and Pepper as they negotiate the various landmines they encounter as they inadvertently find themselves drawing closer.

Finally I really loved the backbone of the book: the exploration of what happens to families who find themselves far more successful than they dreamed. While hiding secrets.

I loved this adorable story about two teens who engage in a Twitter war for their parents' restaurants. I thought the story was well paced and I couldn't wait to find out what happened next. This story is appropriate even for younger teens and it just made me smile. I will say this 40 something mom had to use Urban dictionary to figure out some of the social media terms. Thank you to Netgalley for a digital advance copy.

4.5/5

Tweet Cute has to be one of the most memorable contemporary YA romances I've read in a long time. Every page of this book was a delight. Charming and funny don't even begin to do the book justice.

We've all seen the social media "feuds" that Wendy's likes to get in on Twitter. The concept of this book here is the same, but only much much cuter and more romantic. Pepper and Jack handle their parents' businesses' social media account. They also happen to go to the same school in NYC. I found both Pepper and Jack to be well-layered and well-developed characters. Pepper is a smart and hardworking young woman who is very determined about the future she wants. She has had a few struggles with fitting in after her move from Nashville. She still misses Nashville and the life that she had there. Jack is an equally smart boy with some amazing coding skills, who often feels shadowed by his brighter, and more attention-attracting twin, Ethan. I liked how throughout Tweet Cute these characters remained true to themselves. The tweet wars and the attention could have easily gotten to their heads, but you also get to see their sudden social media popularity affects them. I have no doubt that many readers will fall for Pepper and Jack along the way and root for their growths and happiness.

The romance played out so beautifully too in Tweet Cute. While also feuding with each other, pulling each other's legs in real life (JK that's more of Jack's thing), the two have been chatting on an anonymous app that Jack has created. So, there is definitely a lot going with these two and their connection and friendship felt authentic. Their banter and chemistry was excellent. I promise you're going to swoon! I'm most certainly going to be revisiting them in the future. I also genuinely loved the entire secondary cast in Tweet Cute. Sure they all have some bumps, but they are all entirely relatable. I particularly enjoyed the bonds that Pepper and Jack shared with their respective families. Tweet Cute also tackles a few themes relevant to teens and adults seamlessly, including the pressures and uncertainties that one can feel regarding the future.

If Tweet Cute is representative of the kind of books that are releasing in 2020, then we're all in for a treat. It's such a wholesome and feel-good book. It will certainly leave you feeling all warm and fuzzy, and eagerly anticipating whatever Emma Lord releases next.

This has to be one of the most perfectly named books that I have come across in a long time because this book was really cute! As soon as I read the premise for this book, I knew that I would have to give it a try. It just sounded like such a good time. And it was! Once I started reading this book, I could not put it down and ended up finishing it in a single day. I really enjoyed the time I spent with this book.

Pepper hasn't been in New York all that long. She moved there with her mom and older sister when their family's burger chain started getting huge. She somehow finds the time for her schoolwork, activities, and still helps out with the company's Twitter account. Jack has lived in New York all of his life. His family owns a neighborhood deli and Jack occasionally posts something on social media for the business.

When the big burger chain is rolling out a new grilled cheese that sounds a lot like the signature sandwich served at the small deli. It's war or a Twitter war, at least. These two are going back and forth and they don't even realize who is on the other end. Until they do. I loved this setup! It was just such a playful way of getting to see these characters get to know each other.

I loved Pepper and Jack! They both had some family issues to deal with and really had a lot in common. I thought that they were both very smart and resourceful teens. They really were perfect for each other. They had a lot of chemistry but I really felt like they understood each other in a way no one else seemed to.

I would recommend this book to others. I found this to be a light-hearted story filled with wonderful characters and a few laughs. I will be keeping an eye out for future books by this debut author!

I received a digital review copy of this book from St. Martin's Press - Wednesday Books via NetGalley.

I want to thank NetGalley & St. Martin's Press for providing me with a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

This book is generally super cute and I enjoyed the romance as well as the personal growth of each character, which, in fact, both main characters are super well created, and are very likable. I couldn't connect 100%, but I think it's due to my relationship with the genre that is a hit or miss for me most of the time, super personal, though. I can see there are situations in this book that are quite unbelievable and the mean tweets situation get a little out of control, I feel that it's over-the-top dramatic, you know?. Even so, I enjoyed it a lot and had a great time reading it.


Tweet Cute is a rom-com that follows the point of views of Pepper, who's a perfectionist girl, who works very hard to stand out academically and thus be able to go to a good university, but at the same time secretly manages the "Big League Burger" Twitter accounts, the fast-food chain that his parents began long ago as a small project and ended up being one of the most important fast-food chains. And although everything seems to shine for Pepper and her seemingly perfect life on the Upper East Side, her family is coming down and must deal with many family issues and huge pressure for her s future. On the other hand, we have Jack, who works very hard in his family's deli to try to get it afloat, while trying to get out from under the shadow of his popular twin brother. 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. And while they begin a tweet war, they're also falling in love for each other on an anonymous chat app created by Jack himself.


I love that just starting to read there are already references to Gossip Girl and Blair Waldorf (my queen) and I just saw that coming since Pepper lives on the Upper East Side, it's obvious the references would come and I LOVE that. I really like how the story is told with double POVs because that way we have a more complete picture not only of the life of each character's but also we can get into their heads to spend time with them and get to know them better, both their personalities as their dreams and desires. Another thing that stands out a lot and I think it's probably the strongest point, in my opinion, is family dynamics. Both characters must deal with so many problems within their family and although both are young, handled everything with enough maturity and both always put their family first, a thing that I understand, of course, but ends in consequences also because they don't find that same support in her parents, you know? Especially Pepper's mother, who I think is too much, is a very obsessive woman with her work, so much that she almost enslaves her daughter to handle social networks, which shouldn't be her work at all and although Pepper is very clear about her feelings I don't think her mother really care or empathize with that, I felt so bad for her, but I understand the intention behind the author as this makes the character grow a lot. So yes, in general, that point, the family theme as such and the relationships between each family member are super different from each other, but they all have something in common at some point and I think it's super interesting to follow both families.

I liked the writing style, in fact, the book is easy to read for the most part but was moments when I personally thought that goes around the same things and was moving very slowly, especially in the middle, it becomes kind of heavy to read. Even so, I think what the author wanted to express with this is valid and I respect it, I think there's something interesting about getting into the head of each character and knowing what they think about every minimum thing, but it can clearly be something heavy. But in general, it's a good writing style and I would certainly read something more from the author in the future.


I really like that take place in New York because there are many possibilities of wonderful scenes to create, so I think it was a great choice to develop there this adorable story of love and growth.

I think it touches the topic about doubts about the future and the weight of having to continue with the family legacy as if it were a responsibility and being afraid to express what they really want for their lives, especially for fear of disappointing or hurting those they love. So, all that problematic I think is super relatable and makes you get even more fond of the characters because you honestly want them to be happy. I ended up loving both boys, I think there's an incredible maturity in them, especially I adored Jack, it has been a long time since I crossed paths with a male main character that really reach me, and he did. I really like how he sees life and how he expresses himself and his passion for things is contagious. In addition, both characters are super empathic and are nice to people. Following up on Jack's relationship with his brother was interesting because although they obviously love each other, there's a lot of rivalry between them. And on the other hand, we have Pepper and the relationship with her mother, super problematic for me, but I know that she has the best intentions, I just can't stand her mother, and we also see her point of view about her sister and her mother's fights and how she always stayed in the middle and felt that she had to take sides, I was like "poor little baby" it really hurts what she had to go through and although I understand her sister's behaviors, is like too much drama to me, and Pepper certainly deserves better.


I loved the romance! I think it was adorable and there's a lot of chemistry between the characters from the first moment when Jack mess up with Pepper, besides when they speak anonymously without knowing at first who the other was, I think it was adorable. There's a time when I just wanted them to kiss, so I really enjoyed that aspect.

On the other hand, I wasn't the biggest fan of the Tweets issue as such, there's a kind of "misunderstanding" at the beginning and Jack feels very hurt and upset because they have stolen his grandma's recipe that has been in his family for a long time and I understand his anger, but on the other hand, we have Pepper who only does what her mother asks her like a robot and simply don't think too much when sending the Tweets and answers to obviously benefit and defend her side and which is the company of their parents. But I think that everything goes a bit out of context and ends up being a rather silly battle, in my opinion, I wasn't too interested in it, besides being "Big League Burger" such a huge well-known fast-food chain really surprised me that the person they have hired to manage the networks don't know how to do it and that a teenager is actually doing it, I don't know, it doesn't seem very believable to me. But I understand that it's the dynamics of the story and is absolutely built above this idea


Although I didn't connect as much as I'd have liked, I enjoyed several aspects, especially the characters and their romance, which is adorable and I ended up having a great time, so I still highly recommend it, especially if the Contemporary genre is something you usually enjoy, without a doubt. There are interesting family dynamics and the growth of the characters is super marked, in the end, I feel happy with what they've decided for their lives and the evolution of the plot is very good. I'm super pleased to have read it.

Twitter may be internet hell, and high school may only make it worse, but with Jack and Pepper, it all felt in good fun. This modern YA rom-com was cheesy, literally and figuratively—all. the. food puns. Yes, a cringy tweet here and there, but they must be forgiven, as it’s only realistic. You can talk if you’ve never regretted posting a tweet. Mhm, ya, thought so.

Tweet Cute was such a playful read, capturing that teen energy without feeling immature or insufferable (the less fun part of being an angsty teen). I loved that Jack and Pepper were individuals with their own goals and passions, and not your typical YA characters who base their self-worth over delusionally obsessive and self-absorbed insta-loves. I loved that they were achievers—building apps, swimming competitively, running baking blogs, helping out with the family business, applying to college. And as much I rooted for them individually, I also rooted for them together; they had great chemistry.

"I wonder what it's like, being that sure of yourself. Knowing what you want so definitively you don't even care about keeping doors open."

In the midst of chaotic high school schedules—nothing like college admissions to light a fire under your butt!—the deeper questions about purpose and identity creeped up on me, and even though I’ve graduated from college already, I could still relate to these high schoolers.

Lighthearted fun made richer with a hint of soul-searching. Recommended if you’re looking for your next YA romance!

Romance isn't normally my genre. That being said, I'm a sucker for Tweet Cute. It was sweet, fun, easy and just a very feel-good read. Here's why!

The writing style is fun and well thought-out, which may not sound like the worlds most exciting adjective - but it should. It makes it fun to be inside the heads of the different characters (even for someone like me who tends to avoid multiple POV books). I enjoyed watching the story unfold, and liked the way the author uses dramatic irony to build tension. 

The characters were nice and multidimensional, which made it fairly easy to get sucked into their world. Personally, it took me a little while to separate the two main characters, as we kept switching between them and it's easy to forget which is which. Once you get the hang of this - you're golden! I like the concept behind the app and how they meet. It's lovely to watch them peel back the layers and get to know one another. It's a warm, fluffy romance and a solid page turner if this is the kind of thing you love to read.

Pros:
- Fun plot that's somewhat original (at least for this YA generation)
- Kind of a twist on the haters-to-lovers trope. Casually-snarky acquaintances become almost friends, and then turn near enemies, eventually resolving into something more. ... and all the while being close friends on an anonymous school-specific social network.
-Comfortable reading, with alternating perspectives between the two main characters

With that said, I can definitely tell that I (in my 30s) am not the target audience. While I love reading YA, contemporary YA set in high school is just ... not my thing. I still tried this one out though, because I loved the premise (and was secretly hoping for "You've Got Mail" take two). This is definitely a high school book - complete with high school language, emotions, logic, and maturity. The tweet war in particular is extremely immature, and I would also say that many of the adults act with the maturity (and some of the characteristics) of a teenager. The school staff are often described in a negative (mocking, in some cases) light. I would also say that this title feels overly lengthy, considering the plot's level of complexity. I feel like at least 50-75 pages could have been shaved off without losing any important plot points. Lastly, there is a fair amount of swearing, which really didn't sit well with me; I go out of my way to not read books with strong language. Others mentioned this was a clean read, but I would not categorize it as such because of the profanity.

Potentially noteworthy elements:
-- Inclusivity: Mention of both lesbian and gay relationships
-- Blush Factor: Negligible - doesn't progress beyond kissing
-- Profanity: Substantial light/moderate swearing (with at least one "f" thrown in)

Thank you, publisher, for sharing an ARC of this title in exchange for an honest review!

I received an e-ARC from the publisher in exchange for an honest review. Review and blog tour can be found on *Milky Way of Books*

I really enjoyed this book! It was like watching a romcom movie but set in the YA age group. Family business, delis and restaurants and also a growing love between the main characters kept me with this story which had equal parts of love, friendship and cuteness.

Jack's and Pepper's POV showed two different people who struggle trying to keep their families together and also are competitive. And since this is the 21st century every digital 'battle' led into a viral Twitter war, something you wouldn't see in a movie of the 90os.

This could also be a cute Netflix series and I'm sure you'll enjoy it!

I really liked this. It's not ground breaking. It doesn't have any elements you can't find in every recent YA contemporary romance release. But it is super charming and very sweet.

Documents pretty well the stress of final year of high school and struggling to balance doing your own thing with school and parental expectations. Characters are likeable (except for Peppers' mother, jesus CHRIST), even though we don't go too in depth with anyone except our two main characters.

However, as somebody whose (just about) favourite trope is the 'You've Got Mail'/'She Loves Me'/'Shop Around the Corner'/'Parfumerie', this is exactly the kind of content I wanna see in my easy to read YA fiction. Definitely worth a flick if you can get your hands on it - a super quick read for a day you've got a couple of hours spare and want to switch off.

Review ‘Tweet Cute’ by @dilemmalord and a special thanks to @stmartinspress and @netgalley for the advanced reader copy.

Releases Jan 21st!
I didn’t know what to think when I initially started but the story quickly sucked me in and I absolutely loved the banter between Pepper and Jack in this fun YA novel.

My daughter is allergic to dairy and I have to say I am craving a gooey grilled cheese! Be warned, this book may cause intense cravings of grilled cheese and sweets. Pepper and Jack have depth and are well developed. The chapters alternate their POV’s which are clearly labeled and easy to follow along with.

My only critical point would be that on the kindle when reading the messages between the Bluebird and Wolf, it was very hard to follow along initially and I always had to reread to figure out whose messages went to whom. I hope this is fixed for the release. Maybe different fonts to differentiate that the messages are now in the app?

I imagine this book will be a must read. It’s fun, witty, and gives the feels. I highly recommend. Perfect for teens through adults. Sit back and enjoy it! I did.

REVIEW {#gifted} I have been loving YA at the moment, and this book is another example of everything that I love about this genre! #TweetCute by @dilemmalord is about Pepper, perfectionist and chronic overachiever. Pepper is struggling to hold it all together, but at least her family’s fast food chain, Big League Burger, is booming, mostly thanks to Pepper running its Twitter account. Enter Jack, class clown and general thorn in Pepper’s side, who is struggling to deal with the expectation that he’ll take over the family’s deli business after graduation. But then Big League Burger steals Jack’s grandma’s secret grilled cheese recipe, igniting an all out Twitter war. All’s fair in love and cheese – but as the battle gets more and more personal, these two realise that maybe love can be waiting where we least expect it.

I ADORED this book. The romance was so cute, and so beautifully written – full of sass and banter but also so full of adorable “first love” moments. The struggles that each of these two were going through reminded me of my own teenage years but without feeling immature or (dare I say it) cheesy. This book is so much more than just a teen romance – it covers themes like growing up, discovering your own identity and learning to stand up in the face of outside pressure. I laughed, I swooned, I had butterflies and my mouth watered at all the delicious sounding desserts Pepper creates. I loved watching them both come into their own and the Twitter battle was downright hilarious

This book is just as sweet as the baked goods these two battle over. Speaking of baked goods, @dilemmalord please can I have the recipe for Monster Cake?? I think I need it in my life!

You’re going to want to add this one to your list folks! It releases on January 20!

Thank you @wednesdaybooks for the free copy of this book and for having me on this tour!
