this was a SUPER cute, feel good contemporary romance book that was easy and quick to read. the book follows pepper and jack, two teens at a private school who are both from families in the catering business. pepper’s parents run big league burger, a popular fast food chain, whilst jack’s parents run the girl cheesing, a grilled cheese sandwich deli in new york city. the dichotomy is obvious – pepper’s family are corporate, with multiple store locations and all that comes with it; jack’s family have one store, with regulars who know them by name and a whole family roped into work. the book sets up for an interesting premise when big league burger starts to offer a grilled cheese on their menu that is identical to a grilled cheese from girl cheesing. to add a further layer, pepper and jack don’t know that they’re talking to each other via the anonymous app weazel.

the story unfolds the same way most contemporaries do; jack and pepper grow closer, whilst their family drama rages on around them and forces them to make uncomfortable choices. the book is full of drama but it never feels too much or overdramatic – everything feels world-ending when you’re a teenager, and this set of issues is no different. the characters had authentic voices and weren’t too annoying or whiny (as teens can often be in books!) and i enjoyed seeing their relationship develop. i was pleasantly surprised that the drama in the book wasn’t dragged out for as long as possible, and the reveals for each ‘plot twist’ were made at just the right moments in the story. jack’s dynamic with his twin brother ethan was very interestingly explored and added a deeper message to this book that could easily have remained all surface cute.

i’m not usually one for contemporary chick-lit as it were, but i really enjoyed the vibe of this one. its definitely aimed at me as a main audience (mid-20s, grew up with social media millennial) and i appreciated the various meme references and twitter jokes. i’m looking forward to reading the released copy of this and will definitely be picking it up in january! a solid, fresh contemporary debut and an author i am looking forward to reading more from.

Loved this! It was such a fun rom-com; so easy to read and perfect for a summer weekend. With witty writing, plausible mixups & teen angst, cute & quirky characters, and delicious dessert ideas, I zipped through this in one day.

Tweet Cute by Emma Lord a five-star read that any romance reader needs in their lives. I don’t want to go into detail as you need to read this story with a fresh set of eyes and an open heart as it will be filled so quickly. If you like your stories sweet and deep, then this is one for you. It has gotten all the classic hallmarking of a great love story with a great meet cute set in the modern digital age. This is very likely going to be my favourite read of the year.

This book was so cute! It was such a quick read and I loved the characters. It’s something I could totally see actually happening. Some parts where predictable but not so much that I was bored. Overall a great read. Totally would recommend

Cute, sweet and fun ya romantic read! Relevant and enjoyable characters. It was a quick read but full of heart and complicated relationships. Will look for more by Emma Lord! Thank you netgalley for this arc in exchange for my honest opinion!

So cute! This book was a perfect summer read with cute romance and plenty of laugh out loud moment's this is perfect for this time of year. Social media is so major right now and seeing something a little more unique where that platform was used to start a relationship was fun and made for a interesting read I myself have never been into internet romance I just feel more comfortable talking to people in person when I'm getting to know someone but this was plotted very cute and relatable and I defiantly think it goes well with this time period and the way people communicate. All around a entertaining, cute and funny book I really enjoyed it!

I loved this story. When i first saw it on Netgalley, I decided to test my luck and wish for it, and I'm so glad I did. This book made me laugh, and swoon, and generally wish that I was the one dating Jack and not Peppa.
Emma Lord created some beautifully realistic characters that had believable interactions AND reactions to events happening in their lives. She refreshingly didn't outright explain each characters traits but instead displayed them to the reader, in such a easy manner, that you discover you know all about these characters in a believable way.
Furthermore, she also subtly included twists to the story keeping the reader interested, and praying for Peppa and Jack to just get together already. The only negative point I have is that despite the fact that most of the characters are very realistic, the mother sometimes seems a bit too unreal, with how she reacts to certain things. This however, is mellowed out as the book reaches its end, and explains some of the actions.
I did not want to put this book down, and will definitely read it again in the future. I could not recommend this book more, it is a great and very enjoyable read.

This is a must-read for all Jenn Bennett fans! Tweet Cute is fun, hilarious and everything you could want in a YA rom-com. It's a sweet and whip-smart combination of Gossip Girl & GBBO. I couldn't put it down!

This book was super sweet,fun to read, and felt very much grounded in YA. I think actual teens, especially around 14 to 16, will really like this book and probably find a lot of themselves in it. Of course, from the title and blurb, we know this book is about a Twitter war and it relies *very* heavily on that fact; I would say at least 60% of the plot is the online back-and-forth between Pepper and Jack, meme-dropping, texting, forum-posting, etc, which got a little tedious after a while and made this feel slightly overlong. While the book might age quickly (Will teenagers in 10 years even use Twitter, or watch Mean Girls, or post cat memes? Who can say?), I think the core of the book — discussions of family obligations, questions of what to do with your future, dealing with academic stress, first love, and examining the choices we all make — will always resonate. Relatable and lovable characters, a low-stakes but memorable plot, and witty writing are all a draw for this cute debut.

It's been a while since I've read a teen romance this adorable. The plot was, at times, a bit too contrived and unrealistic, but readers can't help rooting for Pepperjack. I actually really liked Pepper and her burgers to billions story, but Jack steaks the show in Tweet Cute. The app isn't the most original storyline, however the tweeting war that Jack and Pepper get into ups the angst factor and keeps readers engaged. Overall I highly enjoyed this book and would absolutely recommend it to lovers of YA romance.

⚠ Content Warnings: Expect fluffiness and memes. 😅
⚠ Read if: you are a fan of What If It's Us and other light and fluffy romances. 🥰

I was given the chance to read this book via the publisher granting my Netgalley wishlist. It's the first time it ever happened to me, so thank you so much, St. Martin's Press! 🥰

I requested for this book because of the promise of cutesy giddy slight love-hate romance between the two leads. Before I go further with my review, let me just say this: the book met my expectations.

In this story, we meet Pepper and Jack. Pepper is the smart overachiever and the daughter of giant fast food chain Big League Burger's owners. Jack is the class clown who feels that he is overshadowed by his twin and he is the son of the owner of the deli, Girl Cheesing.

When BLB introduces a grilled cheese on their menu, Girl Cheesing called copycat on Twitter which began a Twitter war. Both Pepper and Jack have control on each company's twitter account and they focus on trying to one up the other.

In the world where Twitter wars happening everyday, and brands being snarky and meme-addicted, this was such a fun book to read.

I love getting inside the minds of both Pepper and Jack, especially when they use the anonymous chat app, Weazel. Both Pepper and Jack were loving and responsible children and watching them learn more about each other while learning about themselves was such a great experience.

Though fun and cheesy, this book also hits serious notes like pursuing your passions, sibling rivalries, friendship, honesty, education, and deciding on your career paths.

All in all, this was a great debut for other Emma Lord. Congratulations! I cannot wait to get my hands on the final copy when it hits the shelves next year!

Emma Lord's effervescent, wholesome Tweet Cute is all the sweetness without the stomachache of actually overdoing it on Monster Cake! I think this fresh story about an unlikely friendship turned romance will find readers amongst those who enjoy Jenny Han, Sarah Dessen, and Kasie West's novels. I do think the swoon could have been turned up a notch or two--it was very, very wholesome--but I still loved the banter and ultimate marshmallowness of Pepper and Jack.

This book is equally hilarious and cute. The Twitter war turned into a love story is well told. I couldn’t put it down. Pepper and Jack are extremely likable and the motley crew of side characters adds to the amazing story.

I'll admit to being a little skeptical going in, but I was quickly won over. Pepper is a senior at a prestigious high school who has been driven to succeed in EVERYTHING, including academics, swim team, bake blogging, and tweeting on behalf of her family's burger empire. Jack is on the dive team at Pepper's school and runs the social media for his family's small (struggling deli). They find themselves in a twitter war on behalf of their brands while navigating a budding friendship.

Pepper is overwhelmed, and I related to that. I was an overachiever, too, though not on her level. I really appreciated the way she evolves and slowly emerges from the bubble she built around herself. I liked the interplay between the two main characters, as well as the way the secondary characters had depth for the most part. I also loved all the named bake goods. Where can I get some Monster Cake?

I really enjoyed this book! I thought it was clever, cute, and sincere. The book was well written balancing the different forms of communication that the characters used just right. I also am a sucker for anything NY so the setting definitely contributed to my liking of the book. One thing that I would change about the book was the amount of miscommunication. I know, I know, that's kind of the point of the book but after a few misunderstandings that could have easily been avoidable, it gets a little frustrating as a reader. I did however loved how everything played out in the end! Also having an epilogue with a where are they now segment is so fitting and fulfilled everything I needed at the end of a book.

I am so, so, obsessed with this book. I felt so many aspects of this book in my soul, that I slowly and quickly fell in love with everything about it. The characters, the backstory, the setting. *chefs kiss*

Emma Lord's Tweet Cute is a modern, YA version of You've Got Mail. The same way that Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan embark on the cutest, most comforting rom-com of mixed up identities, so do Pepper and Jack-- the star-crossed teens of a NYC private school. The plot has some great concepts-- daughter of a monster chain restaurant owner versus son of a local family owned deli in a Twitter war that goes viral. The characters are fun, cute, and easy to root for. My only complaint is that Pepper's mother is drawn very flawed-- in a way that I found hard to believe. Teens will like reading about young people who are struggling with which path to take in life-- the one you THINK your parents want for you or some other great unknown.

Tweet Cute by Emma Lord is a super cute YA contemporary romance. I’ve been loving this genre lately. I was rooting for Pepper and Jack to get together right from the start.
.
The whole Twitter aspect of the book makes it really fun. I found some parts in the middle of the book a bit dragged out and repetitive but the beginning and ending were great.
.
I especially liked how the two main characters were both dealing with their own issues and each other and the story switched from both of their points of view. I also loved all the food and dessert throughout the book.

Tweet Cute by Emma Lord (January, 2020) is a book reminiscent of the film "You've Got Mail" complete with snappy dialogue, lots of heart, and a surprising amount of depth for the young adult rom-com. The setting in New York City is as charming in the book as it is in the movie, only in the novel, the objects of conflict are eateries as opposed to bookstores. The main characters in the book are Pepper, the swim team captain, super-student daughter of the owners of the Big League Burger chain, and Jack the dive team captain, who is also a twin, and the anonymous creator of the Weasel app, an app upon which the plot of this rom-com heavily relies. Pepper's family and Jack's share interesting supporting roles as do their friends and teammates at school.
Emma Lord has written realistically about teens whose real world issues with both online and real life relationships are struggles to be dealt with, not ignored. Themes of family loyalty, success, friendship, and expectations are well-woven in these nicely paced pages. I especially appreciated the character development of the teenagers and their parents and I found myself attached to them when I finished the book. That Pepper is a girl who shows her feelings by baking and sharing her creations especially endeared her to my heart and stomach! It would be wonderful if a recipe for Monster Cake was included in the final pages!
Caveats: The storyline of the gay twin brother seemed to have been included more as a token to advance a politically correct stance rather than to move the story forward. The story would have been stronger without that add-in. I would recommend this book to older teens rather than the lower age of 12 that seems to be the youngest age limit of the recommendation by the publisher. Without the unnecessary storyline and the high school language, this book would have wider age appeal. In all, this is an enjoyable read with sneaky depth and I'm happy to have spent the time with Jack and Pepper and their people.

4 1/2 stars. Fun read with two schoolmates that don't realize they are tweeting in an app where the whole school is tweeting because it is anonymous. On top of that they are also in a tweet war on Twitter between their family businesses. I loved the banter between Pepper and Jack. Also liked that when things went wrong they used their heads (most of the time) and worked things through. Slight twist at the end. Overall very enjoyable read.
