Pepper is a Nashville transplant, tagging along with her mom — the founder of the very successful “Big League Burger” franchise. Jack is the secret genius behind Weazel, the social platform with anonymous interactions which “pop” with your pal’s identity after significant chatting (pop-goes-the-weasel, get it?) and heir-apparent of his family’s deli — Girl Cheesing. Both attend the elite Stone Hall Academy, have a keen sense of snark, and are devoted to their family businesses. Both are also engaged in a Twitter war over competing grilled cheese product — and it’s gone viral.

Funny, as “cute” as advertised, well-written, and far more surprising than I expected. A fun read.

Quotes:

“Just the infinite, suffocating void of trying to navigate the world without my phone in my pocket.”
“Jack is the kind of person who fills silences. The kind of person who doesn’t necessarily command attention, but always seems to sneak it from you.”
“… wondering how someone can be so aggressively seventeen and seventy-five at the same time…”
“I’m competing for Ivy League admissions with legacies who probably descended down from the original Yale bulldog.”
“I know she went to high school in the nineties, but that does not excuse this fundamental misunderstanding of how teenage social interaction works.”
“There’s nothing quite as awkward as living in a shadow that is quite literally the same shape as yours.”

Excellent read. It was incredibly well written and full of swoon worthy moments. I can’t wait to hold a finished copy in my hands

This book made feel all the feels. At one point I was cringing because I was feeling the humiliation for the characters. I loved how this book touched on family as well as the pressures teens feel to be perfect all of the time.

I feel really lucky to grab a copy of this book so early! My wish was granted on Netgalley last month!

This book was great! It’s full of wit and charm, but at the same time it’s really wholesome and sweet.

We get to follow the plot from the point of view of both Pepper and Jack which allows us to see the complex entanglement of their life before either of them do.

This novel has strong themes of family, friendship and loyalty, and that makes it really heartwarming and a perfect book to read curled up with a cup of tea while it’s raining outside.

Lord writes cleverly, every piece of the story fits together in a really satisfying way. I loved watching the story build and the big reveals kept me on the edge of my seat.

Tweet Cute is funny, it’s clever and the characters are multi-layered. You really care about them and feel invested in their lives. Each one has flaws, but they also have really interesting talents and strengths too. Even the side characters are fully developed in their own right which helps to make this book a winner in my eyes.

It’s a rom-com that has depth. It’s sweet, but it’s also full of drama and tension. But my favourite thing about this book has to be the banter between Jack and Pepper, it’s one of a kind and absolutely hilarious!

Thank you to NetGalley, the publisher, and Emma Lord for a free copy of this TWEET CUTE in exchange for an honest review.

Five stars!

I love the title and so aptly named as it is a sweet and cute YA story! TWEET CUTE is an adorable, sweet YA romance that manages to draw you in, hold your interest, and yet captures how difficult life can be for a teenager to navigate. I work with teens and there is so much pressure coming from all sides to succeed these days - pressure from the rents, peers, and even social media. I found all of the characters to be well-rounded and the story believable. I had a hard time putting it down. That, and I had a hankering for grilled cheese. Go figure. LOL. Highly recommend.

I truly loved reading this book, and thought Pepper and Jack were really well developed characters. Their family dynamics seemed quite realistic to me (despite my non-involvement in any family business or twitter wars!) and they seemed really true to their age - sometimes you read a YA and they're never at school, or out doing things an 18 year old would never realisically do so I did really appreciate that they had swim meets, and college applications hanging over them in the background. And actually, those two somewhat mundane aspects of school life actually added to the story and didn't hinder it.

I loved the idea of Weazel and Jack's rationale behind the creation of it. It fit in to the story really well and allowed both characters to share aspects of themselves that you just wouldn't blurt out to someone during class. Near the end and the 'Ronnie' moment, I did worry that the twist would be some sort of Hollyoaks style 'whoops you fancy your secret brother' - so THANK GOD that didn't happen!

Overall, I would recommend this one to anyone looking for a modern version of You've Got Mail - just replace the terrible dial-up with an anomynous app and bingo, That's Tweet Cute!

Super cute book. I loved the Rome & Juliet vibe to it and the main characters were adorable. I didn't fully understand the relationships between Jack and his twin brother and also Pepper and her mother/her mother and her sister, but loved how it all wrapped up in the end.

I enjoyed the cute plot line and young adult attributes of Tweet Cute. As someone who doesn’t often pick up YA this book convinced me to start venturing into the genre more and more. Detailed review to follow...

This was so freaking cute! Pepper and Jack were seriously adorable together and their little love story was so sweet. I really liked how they worked things out. They are seriously relationship goals. For this being the author’s debut book, it was perfect. I can’t wait to read more books by her.

Oh my goodness it’s cute. I had wishlisted this book and they gave it to me. This isn’t my typical genre but the title caught my attention. I loved it. Can a book be adorable? Cause this one is adorable.

Meet Pepper, swim team captain, chronic overachiever, and all-around perfectionist. Her family may be falling apart, but their massive fast-food chain is booming — mainly thanks to Pepper, who is barely managing to juggle real life while secretly running Big League Burger’s massive Twitter account.

Enter Jack, class clown and constant thorn in Pepper’s side. When he isn’t trying to duck out of his obscenely popular twin’s shadow, he’s busy working in his family’s deli. His relationship with the business that holds his future might be love/hate, 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.

All’s fair in love and cheese — that is, until Pepper and Jack’s spat turns into a viral Twitter war.

Such a sweet little read! Witty, funny and heart warming. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book. I’m sucker for a sweet rom com and this did not disappoint. Perfect for young adults who are finding the relationship and expectations with their parents challenging (younger Laura can relate). It has the awkwardness of young relationships, mixed with the challenges of school. The perfect YA novel!

This book is aptly named -- it's so cute! As somebody who works in social media, I thought the Twitter aspect of this book would turn me off a bit, but it did quite the opposite! Not only is "Tweet Cute" an adorable YA romance, it also captures how difficult it is to be a teenager in 2019 -- the pressure from your parents, social media and your peers to perform in a certain way -- and how taxing the internet can be.

I adored this book and all its pop-culture references. Tweet Cute is a charming read with tonnes of witty moments and a little romance. I loved the dual perspectives and found it to be easy to read, well paced with tonnes of unexpected moments.

I liked that while the main plot of this book is about a Twitter war, it showcases that there are real people behind company accounts and it gives that important message to teens reading the book.

I would have loved to have a little more romance in this but it’s definitely a slow burn, rom-com. All of the characters were likeable and I enjoyed the side characters as well.

I’m off to eat a grilled cheese.

Such a CUTE story and a lot of fun! I haven't breezed through a book this quickly in a while.

This is a book about love in the age of social media.
Pepper and Jack go to the same school which – and all teenagers will know this – does not mean they are friends. What they don’t know is that they are twitter enemies involved in an online war, each in the name of their family business. They also don’t know that, at the same time, they are falling for each other on an anonymous chat app.

Emma Lord did a great job writing fun dialogues, filled with online and offline banter. And seeing the relationship between Pepper and Jack develop was very enjoyable.

The thing I didn’t enjoy so much was, ironically, the twitter war. At first it was interesting but after a while it just started to feel old. And so I’m glad that the wars stopped just before I began to feel seriously annoyed. So, good save, Ms. Lord. If you consider reading this book, you should also know that it is aimed at teenagers. There is lot of teen lingo and abbreviations most of which I understood but not all, to be honest. It did make me feel old sometimes, haha. So, this is just a heads up. But if you don’t mind social media and teenage slang, you might just love this book.

All in all, it was fun read that I just breezed through in no time at all.

Thank you NetGalley and St. Martin’s Press for a free ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Tweet Cute has everything I like in my YA Contemporaries. There is a cute romance where I like the characters as individuals too. The teens talk like teens and use modern slang. Plus, there is some family drama and dynamics which are explored with both families. I loved the how Twitter and meme culture were at the core of this novel and it is just done SO WELL.

This book was so much fun and I devoured it in two sittings.

Thanks to NetGalley and to the publisher for sending me an e-galley of this book in exchange for an honest review!

Tweet Cute is pretty much You've Got Mail, but with a social media twist.

Pepper is a senior, captain of the swim team and she has her sights laser focused on getting into Columbia. She still feels like an outsider at her prestigious private school and feels she has to fight tooth and nail against the other students to hang onto her ivy league dreams. She was dropped into the deep end after her parent's business "Big League Burger" exploded onto the scene and now her mom is heading up the corporate office in New York, a long way from Pepper's Nashville roots. Along with balancing school and extracurricular activities her mom has tasked her with helping on the Big League Burger twitter account, offering advice to their social media manager who is in over her head.

Jack is always contending with his twin, Ethan who he has deemed the golden twin. He's popular and can sweet talk anyone while wearing a face strikingly similar to Jacks, so similar that many of his classmates mistake him for Ethan and he gets to see the visible disappointment on their faces when they realize it's just Jack. Their parents own a small deli called Girl Cheesing that has been in the family for generations which Jack and after Big League Burger comes out with a new grilled cheese sandwich that looks a lot like their "Grandma's Special", Jack takes to social media with a snarky vengeance.

The two spark up a twitter war that quickly goes viral all the while communicating anonymously on Weazel, an app that Jack created. As their handles Wolf and Bluebird grow closer, the twitter battle is getting increasingly personal.

Tweet Cute is written in such a fresh and lively way that in undeniably young without feeling forced or like an older author using "teen speak". It perfectly encapsulates the playful banter of two online pen pals as they grow closer, using the anonymity of the internet to lower their defenses and talk plainly about the struggles of being a senior and living up to their family's expectations. It also has to be one of the sweetest and purest things I have ever read.

If you like cute and fluffy rom-coms and you spend any of your time on twitter. You'd LOVE this book. It's a must own for me.

Oh my gosh I am absolutely in love and in awe with this book. It was so well done and I just had the most amazing time! I loved the characters, and how the internet was incorporated into the story that didn't make it cringey. The romance was slow-burn and marvellous. I cannot even with this book!

I absolutely devoured this book! It was delightful and light, and incredibly engaged. I was rooting for both Pepper and Jack (and PepperJack!) the whole time and felt both characters were compelling, realistic and enjoyable to read about! I will definitely be rereading this book as soon as I stop smiling.

Thank you to Netgalley/St. Martin’s Press for fulfilling my wish!!

Well dang. That was absolutely adorable. Nothing makes me happier than the trope “enemies to lovers”. It was everything I wanted in a book: mysterious pen pals, baking, amazing families and misunderstandings.

I would 100% recommend this book to anyone looking for a cute, fluffy read.

If you're looking for a cute, fun, easy read endearing book, Tweet Cute is for you. This book is just fun, silly, somewhat cheesy, but will leave you feeing happy.
