I loved literally everything about this book. Tweet Cute was so adorable and funny and heartwarming.
Pepper is a girl with tons of parental pressure. Pressure to help run her family’s corporate Twitter (even though they literally have an employee that’s supposed to do it) and get good grades on top of that at her elite prep school. She also runs a baking blog with her sister (so yes, I will be trying to make one of their creations for an installment of Books & Baking.) Her desserts sound so freaking yummy.
Then there’s Jack, living in his twin brother’s shadow. He spends his time either diving with the school’s team or working at his parent’s restaurant. So, when he sees that Big League Burger has released a new grilled cheese that even has the same name as the one his parent’s restaurant, Girl Cheesing, is known for, he tweets from the Girl Cheesing account. It’s the tweet that launches a twitter war between the two.
I loved the banter between the two twitters. But even more I loved the banter between Pepper and Jack. I’m one million percent team PepperJack forever. I really appreciated that Pepper wasn’t really comfortable with the whole thing and acknowledged that to her mom, though her mom pressured her to continue tweeting anyway. I thought it was great that once Jack found out that it was Pepper on the other side of the Big League Burger tweets they made it into a fun sort of game.
There was so much I loved about this. The baking, the banter, and the realizations. The development of the characters as individuals was so well done. They learn more about themselves, they talk with their parents and learn more about them, and they develop together as well. I thought it was all just done so well. I will be shouting about this book from the rooftops for the foreseeable future. So, just do me a favor and read it as soon as it is released.

How I feel about this book is right in this title: it's cute AF! The two protagonists fight over Twitter on their family's business accounts which they run! Come on! I need this to be a new trope or something because this was the easiest, most delightful read I've had in awhile. But before I spill feels and heart eyes on you, let's get to the review.

The story follows Pepper and Jack. Pepper is the overachiever. She tries to make everything right and good and correct for everyone. For herself, her mom, her sister, and everyone. She helps her mom run their incredibly popular restaurant's (Big League Burger) social media accounts while going to a prestigious private school where she's always trying to come out on top. She's also captain of the swim team. 

All I can say is I'm exhausted just reading about her schedule.

Jack is...not as concerned with all of that. He helps his family run their small restaurant, is the class clown and constantly getting on Pepper's nerves, and feels like he's in the shadow of his very popular twin brother. 

How do they end up colliding in Twitter World War 3?

When Big League Burger posts their new grilled cheese, Jack sees that it looks exactly like his grandmother's recipe. So when he calls Big League Burger out on Twitter, people take notice. But while Pepper would rather not get into it with the smaller business (it's not a good look), her mother is ready to fight to the death so she makes Pepper write up responses.

This leads the internet to BLOW UP!

The kicker is that Jack and Pepper don't know that it's each other who they're fighting. 

But Twitter fighting isn't everything in the life of a NYC high school student. With Pepper the captain of the swim team and Jack's brother giving the dive team's leadership role over to Jack, they soon begin meeting up to plan when each team will have their pool time (the schedule got mixed up). 

That's how they have their first real conversation together and with their new, albeit forced, closeness, they soon get close enough to find out they're fighting each other on Twitter. But that's certainly not the end of the fighting. That's when the games begin really begin.

But what starts as a war between their parents' restaurants soon turns into a pact to be nicer online and then into friendship that might just lead to something more... But the road to the something more is anything but smooth. There's plenty of bumps along the way. 

I absolutely loved Jack and Pepper's characters and how they developed. I was genuinely worried Pepper was going to have some sort of breakdown with everything she does and with how much her mother puts on her. But as the story moves on, she's able to mellow out a bit and stand up for herself. She even figures out that she's cutting herself off from people who could be new friends. I think spending time with Jack is part of the reason for this change.

I also loved how Jack is able to finally speak up for himself, talk through his relationship with his parents and his twin, and figure out what he wants to do with his life after high school.

Tweet Cute is a fun, modern YA romance that you'll not be able to put down. I think I read it in three days which is very quick for me. You'll smile at Jack and Pepper's relationship and their growth, and scream at the parents for putting them in this online Twitter war (or maybe that's just me trying to protect the teens as a 30-year-old lol). I'm giving Tweet Cute 4 out of 5 stars. If you like light YA romances, you will love this!

Tweet Cute by Emma Lord comes out January 21, 2020.

Thank you to NetGalley and Wednesday Books for the free eARC in exchange for my honest review.

This was such a fun book. I loved the premise and the romance in this was perfect. While this premise has been done before, this was fresh and exciting. I highly recommend it!

I was going to hold off and write this tomorrow because my eyes are nearly sealed shut but I can't wait. This book was amazing and I loved every second of it.
I loved the characters and how much personality they both had, how mature they were and level headed especially when it came to their relationship and didn't create drama out of nothing, this made for a really great reading experience where I could root for them without cringing at their antics like in some romance books.
I loved the writing style. Dual perspectives can be hard sometimes especially when both perspectives are written in first person but Jack and Peppers voices were so distinct that there was no problem whatsoever.
And of course I loved the plot, such a simple concept taken to the next level. I sadly took an unwanted break about 20% in due to school but even after so long away from the story I had no trouble jumping straight back in. I loved the twists and the turns and the fun moments and the cute moments.
I genuinely want to go back and re-read this all over again. I will definitely be recommending that everyone I know buys this book upon it's release and I want my very own hardcover copy to have in my hands and to put on my bookshelf.
Loved it!!!!

I just love a good slow burn, hate to love, romance book and this was everything I needed and more. It was wonderful and made me so happy and I could not have asked for a better book to help pick me up!

Tweet Cute by Emma Lord is a fun, sweet rom-com filled with banter and wit! Light and entertaining. Definitely recommend.

Such a fun, sweet, funny quirky romance! I loved this one!

Many thanks to NetGalley, the publisher, and the author for my ARC. All opinions are my own.

I loved this quirky YA romance! Pepper and Jack-driven by their families to engage in a social media battle over a stolen recipe, are also anonymously confusing in each other through a school-wide app. Their Chemistry is adorable and the dialogue is quite cheeky and entertaining!

Guys, this book is so freaking WHOLESOME. There are so many scenes where the characters are baking and there were so many good pop culture references (i.e., Mean Girls, Gossip Girl, Taylor Swift). This is a YA rom-com filled with sugary descriptions and memes (yes they fall in love while making MEMES. If this isn't so 2019/20, IDK what is). It is a very sweet PG romance (if you care about the steaminess of the romance).

While this is an adorable love story, it does focus a lot on the characters figuring out what they want to do after high school. It also deals with family issues (specifically feeling like you're living in the shadow of your sibling and how to deal after a divorce).

Overall, Tweet Cute is a wonderful coming of age story perfect for teens today. It perfectly encaptures the current online landscape teens face while creating an adorable teen romance.

It’s a modern teen rom com with a nod to You’ve Got Mail. Pepper and Jack start a Twitter feud with their respective family’s business accounts over whether or not a grilled cheese recipe was stolen. Pepper’s family’s business is a large, corporate chain, while Jack’s is a tight-knit, local deli. One problem - they both go to the same high school so the feud becomes personal. But, in typical rom com fashion, the feud ends up becoming something more as they get to know - and like - each other.
Thrown into the mix is an app that is unique to their high school, where users are given different animal names at first, but their identities are gradually revealed automatically. Pepper (aka Bluebird) and Jack (aka Wolf) chat regularly, not knowing the others’ identity.
Full of cute, “aww” moments, drama, intrigue, and delicious sounding desserts, Tweet Cute is every bit as fun as the title suggests. Pepper and Jack are cute and a tad bit angsty (they ARE in high school), their Twitter war is lively, and you can’t wait to see how it all plays out, and how/why this recipe feud began.

Exactly as advertised, in a really enjoyable way. Enemies to friends to romance/opposites attract, Twitter wars, interestingly characterized family drama, lots of food related stuff...I did wish that the take on social media had been a little more thorough, and things sort of slid into the ending, but overall a thoroughly enjoyable romcom read.

My very first thought when I started this book was that it was a lot like Gossip Girl. It's about a school full of rich kids, there's an outsider main character, and they communicate a lot using a secret app. There are even several Gossis Girl references throughout. Luckily, it is one of my favourite shows, so I didn't really mind.

Then I continued reading and I felt like I figured out the entire plot after 10 pages. I kept hoping that it would turn out to be more exciting than I was expecting, but unfortunately, I predicted everything completely right from the start. Even the relationship between Pepper's mom and Jack's dad was very obvious to me.

Even though this book was very predictable, I still enjoyed it. A little romance is always nice, and the characters of Jack and Pepper are very fun an relatable.

It's super cute, ful of cheesy goodness-- pun intended. Featuring back and forth banter and perspectives, two tech-savvy teens, a dash of baking fun, and teen romance so adorable,it's not just cute, it's tweet cute. Very enjoyable and super easy to get sucked into the story through the very last page.

Before you start reading this book, make sure you have all the ingredients you need to make grilled cheese because trust me you will be craving one as soon as you start flipping pages. This is a very sweet story that falls in line with books like “To All The Boys I’ve Loved Before” by Jenny Han. You won’t want to put this one down as it will definitely give you the warm fuzzies! (along with some food cravings ;) ).

This was SO CUTE AND FUN!! Tweet Cute is about two teens (Pepper & Jack) in the midst of a twitter war each representing their parents' grilled cheeses from their family restaurants. SO CHEESY IN THE BEST WAY!!

I really enjoyed how realistic this book was. It explored the way teenagers feel and how social media has an effect on that. This book also had amazing family dynamics and handled sibling and parent issues amazingly! It was just so cute and refreshing and I'm always a sucker for any book that has texts, emails, tweets, etc incorporated in. I love how modern the setting, lingo, and themes felt. Meme culture in a book is just *chefs kiss* plus the characters were fiery af and I loved them a whole lot.

This isn't just a romance since it explores so much more and I love that the romance actually takes a backseat. There's no unrealistic insta love here- just sweet enemies to friends to lovers goodness and I am so here for it.

Also, I need a grilled cheese ASAP. If you like contemporary you HAVE to add this to your 2020 TBR. What a great debut.

Tweet Cute follows the story of Pepper and Jack two high school students at a highly competitive private school in New York City. Pepper and Jack work hard to navigate the pressure of school, but they both have immense pressure coming from home when it comes to their family’s businesses. The obligation both Pepper and Jack feel from home drive them to work hard and help their family businesses that when a Twitter feud begins between both businesses, they both jump in to help in anyway they can without realizing how personal this twitter feud really is. Tweet Cute is an adorable romance that accurately portrays the pressure students feel in high school and the difficulty they have balancing school, work, friends and family. This story has so many layers and it does each so well. One is the way technology and social media plays a large role in students’ day to day life. Faculty are afraid of this technology while the students use it in anyway that can help benefit them or make their lives easier. I loved the way school life, twitter feud, and the Weazel app storylines all seamlessly blend to make a story full of twists and turns that make you want more and more from each character. And, the food! This story truly made me want recipes to appear in the back of this book (something I don’t usually enjoy) But man do I need the Monster Cake and Kitchen Sink Macaroon recipes

I received an ARC of this novel from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

YA novel about social media and what can happen when posts are anonymous. Cute story line.

This book was just what the title said it would be - cute!

Jack and Pepper are fun characters and the story style with tweets etc made for a fun read. They were a little childish at times but I think they were meant to be. There isn't a huge amount of depth to the book and that's okay. It was well written and had me smiling quite a bit. Fun new to me author.

The minute I started this book, I couldn't put it down. I stayed up far later than I should have reading this engaging and addicting story.

Like the title, it's cute, and sometimes that can have a negative connotation but please, don't read it that way here. This book brings back all those feelings of first flirtations and feelings, of high school and confusing emotions, and then again, how those same confusing feelings can follow you right into adulthood.

The two main characters, Pepper and Jack, are students at the same school. Jack likes to think of Pepper as a sort of cyborg student who somehow gets it all done and exceptionally well and makes it look effortless. Jack sees that same sort of "golden child" glow in his identical twin brother, Ethan, so he'd rather have fun and take it easy.

But opposites are drawn to each other, right? And somehow they've both wound up running the verified twitter accounts for their parent's restaurants and it's turned into a flirt-heavy twitter war filled with mischief, bets, and maybe more than they've bargained for.

It's so much more complex than just a high school crush. It's parents and children alike trying to navigate self doubt, hurt feelings, and changing relationships, new and old.

Lord's writing is so captivating I was hooked right away. It's clever, witty, and flirty. Even 10+ years removed from high school I didn't feel isolated or unable to follow along. Some things never change, even if technology does.

To be honest with you, this is one of those books where the writing style just grated horribly for me. I love YA, so I'm not one of those "high and mighty" types, but the writing and dialogue just felt really stilted and cold to me. I know this book has lots of good reviews, so I think this might just be a "me" thing. I usually read fantasy but have been getting more and more into contemporary (things like Red, White & Royal Blue, American Royals, Fangirl, etc), so it might just be that I'm finding out what I like and don't like within the genre.
