Four 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, I found all of the characters to relatable and fun. It was such a fun read for me! I really enjoyed the light fun idea of this one!

This little YA Rom Com was adorable! Emphasis on the Young Adult, so if you like reading about teenage angst and romance, this one is for you. It's very well-written, plenty of twists and turns, and misunderstandings and embarrassments for teenagers. And just like any good rom com worth it's salt, makes feel all gooey and good at the end. I did have to google a couple social media terms I didn't know, but there's me. Overall, this book is just d'awwww.

Tweet Cute by Emma Lord was an ARC I wished for in Netgalley and the wish was granted (a first, for me!) by them wonderful folks. For which I'm immensely grateful. Because the book did not disappoint. And to my surprise, it felt like like I got what I missed for while reading "Technically, you started it" and "Comics will break your heart".

Let me be clear, I enjoyed the two books but I felt something was missing in either of them. The Romeo-Juliet-esque plot in CWBYH and the texting-a-stranger-You-got-Mail kinda thing in TYSI was nice but definitely lacked somehwhere. Enter Tweet Cute and my corny, sappy heart did a happy dance. I loved it <3

So the plot is basically You've Got mail but instead of bookstore we have a big fast food chain restaurant picking up fight with a family deli. Through their social media accounts in Twitter. Which is actually managed by the teens of the family, who happen to study in the same private school. Like small world, y'all!.

Pepper (swim team captain, chronic overachiever, and all-around perfectionist) and Jack (class clown and constant thorn in Pepper’s side) do not know their fighting each other in Twitter and also befriending each other in Weasel, the anonymous chat app built by Jack exclusively for his school kids. I loved their banter and their tweet wars as much as I loved their character. Pepper has this altogether other side that Jack gets to see and Jack has this app building interests which no one is aware of in his family because all credits usually go to his identical twin, who is the star kid in his school.

I loved the family dynamics - Pepper and her sister's bonding over a baking blog, Jack and his grandmother's love for the deli, the twins' parents - and also the friendship between Pepper and Pooja. I did not like Pepper's mom though. The book also shows how social media can get into your lives and makes things blown out of proportions.

I need to warn you! Do not read the book overnight or you will be left with a longing and empty stomach craving for Monster cakes and cheese sandwiches.

Altogether the book feels like a fun package, with lots of banter, food cravings and a new book boyfriend!

My rating 4/5 stars <3

this was PERFECT. literally, pepper and jack were the cutest, and the overall theme of the 'twitter war' was so fitting for the 21st century. i love 'you got mail,' it's one of my favorite movies, and this did not disappoint as a "remake!"

Tweet Cute is a fresh take on the classic plot of public enemies/private buddies-- Pepper and Jack have gotten invested in a Twitter business war between their rival family restaurants over whose grilled cheese is original and superior. Little do they know, they've also been developing a friendship over Weazel, the anonymous chat app exclusive to teens at their high school... which also happens to be developed by Jack. I was invested from start to finish, and this one definitely brought me out of a slump! Funny, clever, and sweet, Tweet Cute hits every mark in what I love in a contemporary novel.

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.

Boy + Girl = possibly love. Add a major obstacle with the parents owning competing food businesses and a major Twitter war, can love win out? Find out when you read Tweet Cute--don't miss it !

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.
