Thank you to St. Martin's Press for the free review copy. All opinions are my own. 

What a fun, modern young adult novel this was. Pepper and Jack are both high school seniors that are working on figuring out what comes next for them when they find themselves engaged in a Twitter war. I loved this aspect of the book because it felt so real. The memes and sass in the Twitter posts were just so much fun. 

I also liked the relationship between Pepper and Jack and how it was developed. There is a lot happening in this book for both of these characters, and these events influence how they engage and respond to each other. I think that the back and forth between the two  helped add depth and create the emotional connection to the characters. 

This book is full of food and dessert references. It made me want sweets the whole time I was reading it. I would recommend not reading on an empty stomach. There is so much more than just Twitter and food in this novel, though. It explored how complex all kinds of teenage relationships are with the perfect amount of balance.

I have to admit, I was kind of really unsure about this book at first. I've been slowly moving away from YA books and reading way more adult romances (with very adult things in them) so it's felt like I've been "meh" on the last couple of YA books I've read. I think the book took awhile for me to get fully behind it. Which is okay, but I'm glad I stuck with it.

First of all, I HATED Pepper's mom. Like...she expects her to keep her grades up and she's basically working a full-time job at the twitter stuff and not getting paid to do it! and then later in the book her mom is like, "why did you let your grades slip?!?" Ugh, I felt like she was a bad mom. You find out later about her past, but that still wasn't good enough for me. I'm not a parent, so I'm not sure if I have a right to make that call, but I just felt like there was so much pressure on Pepper to do everything, and I just wanted her to say something to her sister or her dad. Jack also feels the pressure to take over the family business, so you could really see the similarities between them.

I really like that this book focused a lot on being a teenager about to graduate and not really knowing what the heck you are going to do next. I am 29 and I still don't really know what I am doing with my life, so it's okay! But I think we just train teens to know everything and to be so "on" in high school that by the time they get to college we trained them for something they don't really want. I think this book does a really good job at exploring these topics.

I also think this book does a great job with the coming of age story, and showing the struggles that teens have right now. I was glad it has a happy ending, and it ended up with a plot line that I really enjoyed. The twitter war was fun too.

It's cute and charming in a new age way. I loved the refences to our current world social media and the twitter wars. It has sort of a you've got mail vibe going for it. I can imagine this one as a cute movie on maybe disney if its toned down a little or Netflix for the tween.
The pace was great, very upbeat and fast to keep readers reading. The romance was cute and fun to follow along with.
I'm a sucker for enemies to lovers, it's one of my favorite tropes.
All in all I really enjoyed this one. Thanks.

This book was just okay for me. It was a cute story and I loved the dynamic between the main characters, but I stopped caring after Jack saw Pepper’s phone and the tweet on it. After that I just kind of felt like this story was too juvenile for me. I think that just has to do with my age and the content that appeals more to me. The writing was great and the premise and delivery was good.

Tweet Cute by Emma Lord - 5 stars!

I received a complimentary copy of this book via NetGalley. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.

Tweet Cute is a fun, light YA contemporary romance starring main characters Pepper and Jack at the center of a grilled cheese Twitter war.

Let's just take that in for a moment. PEPPER and JACK have a GRILLED CHEESE Twitter war. I can't

All of the initial cuteness aside, this was an absolutely adorable book. I was invested in the plot and the characters the entire time, which doesn't happen to me often with romance in YA. I consumed the book in less than 2 hours (get it, consumed? food pun? bc of the grilled cheese? ok i'll leave)

I cannot say anything bad about this book besides the fact that it hasn't been released yet (as of when I write this review) so I can't force everyone I know to read it immediately.

4.5 stars! Thank you so much Netgalley for this title.

I always love romcoms as a refresher towards the end of my year. I devoured this one in a sitting. It's always awesome to read in different POVs and the whole texting situation was true to what we see today. Super cute convos that may be seen in some cases in a high school relationship. Would I read something else by this author again, yes... did I enjoy the main characters umm yes. Super likeable characters and totally relatable scenario.

I probably say this in all my review of romance books, but it's worth repeating: I have high standards for romcoms, both in movie and book form. Any weirdness in the chemistry, any bad writing, any vomit-worthy moments, and I'm out. These standards make it remarkable when I really and truly love a romcom - and folks, that's what's happened here. Emma Lord has somehow created a fantastic and fun YA romance, with two well-developed characters, fantastic chemistry, lots of my favorite tropes (executed perfectly!), all wrapped it all up into an easy and enjoyable read.

Tweet Cute is, indeed, insanely cute, inventive, and filled with the most wonderful tropes of your my romcom dreams. Pepper Evans is a high-achieving Nashville gal who now attends an elite private school in Manhattan at her mom's demand. She manages a baking blog with her sister, is captain of the swim team, and gets excellent grades. Oh, and her family owns a massive burger chain called Big League Burger (think: In n Out, but on the East Coast) for which Pepper manages the social media presence. Enter Jack Campbell, a born-and-raised New Yorker who attends that same private school, has a twin brother who is effortlessly good at just about everything that Jack is not, is on the dive team (but not quite captain), and accidentally developed a messaging app that's taking his school by storm. Oh, and his family owns a small, mom-and-pop East Village deli called Girl Cheesing that just so happened to get into a Twitter feud with Big League Burger over the chain stealing the deli's not-so-trademarked grilled cheese name. Guess who runs Girl Cheesing's social media presence? Jack.

Jack and Pepper are sort-of friends in school, reluctantly collaborating on fundraising for the swim and dive teams, teasing each other in class, sharing baked goods, going on casual coffee dates. When they find out about the other's family restaurant - agreeing that it makes for good business on both sides - the Twitter feud continues on with a renewed passion. But as an extra cherry of intrigue on top, they both have a secret, anonymous penpal on the app that Jack created - and little do they know, their anonymous penpal is each other. On the app, Jack and Pepper are Wolf and Bluebird, flirting shamelessly and sharing things that they typically wouldn't share with others, developing a more intimate rapport than they have in real life.

See what I mean by all the cute tropes wrapped up into one?

Usually, I'd scoff and think that an author wouldn't be able to pull off all of these amazing conceits, secrets, and dynamics in one book. But Lord does it very well - the reveals are well-timed, the tension is present but not soul-crushing, and the plot moves at a speedy quip. There's very little, if any, cringe factor, even though the author adds in that people start "shipping" Jack and Pepper on Tumblr after finding out about their Twitter war, there's a fair amount of memey pop culture gifs, and the puns run wild. If you're looking for a cute, easy, and trope-y romance read, look no further!

By the way, EXCERPT coming soon on my book blog - stay tuned!

Really enjoyed this book - loved how adorable the story was, how sassy the characters were and how incredibly Grandma Belly is - I want to adopt her to be my own! This book follows two classmates who are in charge of (come on, we all know it's Pepper not Taffy) their family's business Twitter account - and the Twitter war is on! I loved the characters in the book, I mean, what's not to love about Grandma Belly. I loved how sassy Pepper and Jack are and I enjoyed the supporting characters - including their growth. This book has a fun mystery throughout which I really enjoyed and I loved how it all tied in together at the end. Definitely a great, easy to read novel which I would thoroughly recommend.

This was everything I wanted it to be; I'm so glad work was slow this morning so I could keep reading! First off the voice is fantastic, especially Jack's. I loved that we got chapters from both POVs. And as y'all know my two most favorite tropes are You've Got Mail/anonymous pen pals and hate (annoyance really) to love, which was very present here. This book was just so well done! It's super topical so I don't know how much of the language will make sense in 5 years (twitter, memes, etc- like suuuuper specific internet user of 2019) but it was also really enjoyable and timely. Plus, GRILLED CHEESE! MONSTER CAKE! BAKING BLOGS! I love all of those things. Throw in some family drama, competing restaurants, swim team, frenemies turned friends, and misunderstandings (that thankfully don't drag on for tooo long. Teenagers communicate!), and you have a very New York, very fun, very very cute romantic comedy. I'm sure I'll think of more to add eventually but TL;DR: I ship PepperJack forever and this book is awesome.

A sweet little rom-com that I definitely will be ordering for the high school library!
Okay, the tweeting was a little annoying, but I'm just old, as I was told by a teenager!

This was a cute YA, although sometimes I thought there was too much going on - tweets, anon texts, and IRL conversations. I also felt like it was a little too YA - perfect for high schoolers, but not something most adults would enjoy.

Thanks to St. Martin's Press and NetGalley for advanced copy in exchange for an honest review.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Tweet Cute - Emma Lord

Thank you to Wednesday Books and Netgalley for the complimentary eARC in exchange for an honest review.

🥪🥪🥪

Tweet Cute follows the tale of teens Jack and Pepper, two seniors at a prestigious New York high school attempting to balance their extracurriculars and maintain straight A’s while striving to get admitted to Ivy League schools. Things are further complicated when they find themselves caught in the middle of a family business twitter war over which family restaurant is creator of an infamous grilled cheese sandwich.

🥪🥪🥪

This was an adorable light hearted book, which was exactly the palette cleanser I have been craving after several thrillers and heavy reads! I enjoyed both Pepper and Jacks characters and found them very likeable. Tweet Cute is extremely cheesy - both figuratively and literally (the main plot is about a grilled cheese after all..) but in the best way! Oddly enough, despite the title being “Tweet Cute” I found the tweets were my least favourite part of the tale, although I love how Lord ties everything together. If you want to start your year off with a sweet, quick read, I highly recommend picking up Tweet Cute!

This book was so freaking cute! Pepper and Jack are some of the best ya contemporary characters I've read in awhile. If you're looking for a modern Romeo & Juliet with splashes of sarcastic humor, then this book is for you. Book also tackles expectations teens get (or feel) from parents and how it effects their life as a whole; Social media is also in the spot light in this book and how it is handled is well done. Recipes need to be added in this book once it's published because we need to know how to make all the delicious food in this book.

Reading Tweet Cute was like being thrown back into high school and the melodrama of being a teenager. Meeting Pepper and Jack was fantastic. These two are such bold characters in their own ways, and are very unapologetically themselves the entire novel. Seeing them banter and have these little crushes on each other is what makes the novel all the sweeter. Overall, teenage angst and an enemies to friends to lovers growth made this novel just so much better.

Full review on my blog come January 21st as part of the blog review!

My least liked part of the story, parents behaving badly who should have their social media account access taken away from them. Pepper and Jack were cute. I wish Jack had told Pepper right away that he was Wolf once he discovered her online identity. I wanted the parents to just encourage the kids to follow what they're passionate about instead of dragging into the family's businesses.

This book is a happy little bundle of froth. A story of an unlikely romance with a nice play on the social media obsession and a bunch of lovely little twists. Pepper and Jack come from different backgrounds and have different family lives. Pepper lives in an uptown apartment with her mum, her sister is away at college and does not get on with her mother. Pepper runs the social media account for the family business a national burger chain. She is a high achieving control freak. Jack works in the family business, a deli on the other side of town. He is a twin and has a close and loving extended family living with him. Jack has invented an app for the kids at school to chat on and this is how these two connect, but they don't know who they are on the app as it anonymises them. These two are good at water sports and are at the pool all the time. Opposites attract and you can see what is going to happen. Young love will bloom but it will take time and be fraught with difficulties.

I really enjoyed this book, it is full of quick one liners and witty banter. A winning book for the school library and one that will have lots of appeal. There is a lot going on and the pace is really good to keep you turning the pages. A great choice for romance fans.

Tweet Cute is the young adult novel I have been waiting for. Tweet Cute is the debut novel from Emma Lord and hits all the marks that I was looking for. 

Tweet Cute follows the story of Pepper and Jack. Pepper is the overachiever, swim team captain and overall perfectionist. Her life might be full of chaos, but the family business is doing better than ever. Then we've got Jack. Jack is the class clown and Pepper's mortal enemy. Between trying to escape his brother's shadow and keeping his family's business afloat, Jack's life is anything but easy. He has a love/hate relationship with the family business, but when the competitor comes out with a recipe that's a dead ringer for his grandma's, he'll stop at nothing to take his enemy down...

All's fair in love and war, and Tweet Cute was a real treat. This book was a fantastic debut novel and was a fun read to spend my day getting lost in. I loved the modern take on You've Got Mail. I thought the authors take was fresh and entertaining. Not only was this book a part of one of my favorite troupes, Enemies to Lovers, but it also delivered on excellent chemistry and push and pull. I loved the interactions between Pepper and Jack. They appeared to be so opposite, yet so alike at the same time. I thought their story was well written and entertaining. And I for one, couldn't wait to see their story play out.

At the end of the day, Tweet Cute was the perfect light read. It was paced well, smart and filled with some great swoon-worthy moments. As far as debut novels go, this one is pretty fantastic. I look forward to seeing what this author will have in store for readers in the future.

This book was so much fun to read!

It was in the style of You've Got Mail and that is by far my favorite trope! I don't why I love it so much but I do. I enjoyed the twitter war aspect and how these main characters could relate so well to each other, even before fully understanding who the other person was.

I tried my hand at making a Monster Cake, a creation one of the main characters makes with her sister, but there wasn't a specific recipe so I made it up on my own. I didn't care for it, but my coworkers all seemed to love it. I want to try it again but doing a few things different.

The dual POV was a little weird with this book. There were many times I kept reading it in the others voice but then they would start talking in the third person and I would have to go back and see who's chapter I was in. So in all I guess it didn't seem as if they both had their own distinctive voices throughout, but that's really the only complaint I have.

Overall this was a quick and addictive read. I didn't want to put it down! If you enjoy reading things in the style of You've Got Mail and Alex, Approximately then pick this one up! It's a very enjoyable read!

This was an adorably compelling, well-written book that I couldn't put down. Pepper and Jack were amazingly well-developed characters whose struggles felt so real, and the challenges they were each facing were universal -- the teens' complex relationships with their families, the difficulty of maintaining good grades in school while balancing sports, work, and social lives, all while not losing sight of who they are and what they want as they finish their senior year and look toward college. Don't be swayed by the title, this book is so much more than just "cute!"

What if You’ve Got Mail had a baby? Tweet Cute would be the cutest wittle baby 😍.

Y’all. I knew this was YA and I have had some trouble with YA...it has to be the perfect storm to work for me....Perfect storm, meet Tweet Cute.

I loved this fun little story. The premise is simple. A twitter war between a large burger chain and the sweet little deli that’s been around the corner forever. The fun part. Two high school classmates are unknowingly running the twitter war...hi jinx ensues.

These characters were real...but not annoying 😂. The location...New York City...always a good idea. The premise....executed well.

It bears repeating...a perfect storm.

I will be recommending this one for those who want lighthearted fun. Not a lot of teenage angst (can I get a hallelujah) helps me feel confident in this recommendation 😂. If you are a fan of You’ve got mail...you should try it. Just go in knowing it is young adult!

4 solid 🌟’s. Out 1.21.20 by Wednesday Books.
