If Tweet Cute is Emma Lord's debut novel, I am so excited to see what she'll write next because this book is the epitome cuteness. This book is a modern-day "You've Got Mail" where the feuding happens in the form of a Twitter battle, and instead of two bookstores we have a fast-food chain and a Ma and Pa deli. What are they feuding over you might ask? A grilled-cheese recipe of course! But wait, it gets better. The two main characters are named Pepper and Jack. How insanely adorable is that?! This story is cheesy is the absolute best way possible. I will admit that I am not a fan of cheese, but that did not stop me devouring this book like it was a piece of Pepper's monster's cake. Pro-tip, don't read this book on an empty stomach besaue Pepper is always baking up something sweet and delicious and you'll drool all over your book.

I am a sucker for any romcom that features enemies to lovers, and Pepper and Jack were meant for each other. Pepper is the swim team captain, a hardcore overachiever, and an absolute perfectionist. Her parents are divorced and her sister is off at college so it's just her and her mom, but at least their fast-food chain is thriving. This is mainly thanks to Pepper because she's the face behind Big League Burger's Twitter account. Jack is a total class cown and a pain in Pepper's butt. He's usually trying to sidestep being in the shadow of his popular twin brother, but when he isn't he's working in his family's deli, Girl Cheesing. He has a love/hate relationship with the place, but that doesn't stop him from trying to destroy Big League Burger on the internet whenever they steal his grandmother's grilled cheese recipe. While Pepper and Jack are tweeting memes and snark at one another, without realizing who the other person is, they're also getting extremely close on an anonymous app that Jack created. Their romance hits you right in the feels because they're just so obviously meant for one another and you anticipate them finally getting together the enitre time you're reading. This book will leave you with heart eyes and a craving for dessert and cheese.

Thank you so much Wednesday Books and Netgalley for granting my wish and giving me the opportunity to read and review this!

This was SUCH cute, wholesome book! I loved Pepper and watching how her relationships/friendships changed and evolved throughout the book.

This book was sweet. Like, rot your teeth and go to the dentist sweet. I truly enjoyed this You've Got Mail type plot. There was interesting commentary of franchises versus mom and pop stores. I loved our main characters and felt so invested in what happened to them.

I loved this book! It was fun and light. I loved seeing their online rivalry grow as they became friends. it's very well written, and the characters were great. It was a cute, refreshing book. One I will like read again in the future.

3.5⭐️

I thought this book was cute.

I was expecting it to blow me away and for me to fall in love with it the way so many other people did, but it missed the mark for me a little bit. It was cute and fun and I love Emma Lord’s sense of humor, but I never found myself rooting for this couple and there were a lot of side plots that it just got overwhelming.

I wanted to love this so badly but I thought it was just fine.

I’m also writing this review at 1am so who knows if this even makes sense, and I may end up re-writing in the future.

This book was so stinking cute. Honestly anytime a book has food as a part of the main story I'm in. Love the little twitter war that goes on in the book. Both teenagers and their language seem real. I didn't care for one of the parents and the reason for acting a certain way, but other than that great.

Emma Lord’s debut Tweet Cute is an original, humorous, sweet, and entertaining YA romance filled with scrumptious descriptions of all varieties of desserts intermingled with a social media battle over the world’s greatest comfort food—grilled cheese sandwiches—that charmingly explores the themes of self-identity, friendship, family relationships, educational success and accomplishment, choosing your own path, and following your dreams.

Jack lives in the shadow of his more popular identical twin brother. Although they are on the diving team together, he otherwise fully embraces the role of the loner, class clown who uses humor as a protective shield against the world and his classmates who use him to get close to his brother. Jack teaches himself coding and, after discovering he’s not only good at, but loves it, he creates an anonymous social app that becomes an integral party of life at his high school. He spends all the time he is not devoting to school and diving team time to working at his family’s deli. Pepper’s life is stressful with all she has going on in her life. Her mother moved with Pepper and her sister to New York so she could launch their business internationally, while their Dad stayed behind. After the divorce Page and her mother began fighting and Page moved to Philadelphia abandoning Pepper. Attending the elite private academy throws her overachieving perfectionist tendencies into overload. She balances the stress of AP classes, debate team, acting captain of the swim team, and competing for perfect grades and admission to an Ivy League with running the company’s twitter account and family avoiding each other.

An observer more than a social butterfly like his brother, who spends little time working at the diner, Jack’s attention was captured by Pepper from the moment she came to his school. At first, he believed she might be more like him, not as caught up in all the competition, focus on grades. But soon enough, she got caught up in the competition. Still, there is something about her that draws Jack’s interest and curiosity causing him to tease her relentlessly. Pepper teases him right back. They spar, tease each other, and give each other a hard time, gradually becoming friends to their surprise. While they are growing closer in real life. They are also developing a burgeoning romance on Jack’s chatting app with each other, under anonymous assigned names.

Pepper and Jack are more alike than either realize. Their parents expect them to go into the family businesses once they finish their educations. Jack’s family puts pressure on him to be present in the deli, working anytime he is not in school or busy with diving team, and he also handles the deli’s social media activities. Pepper’s mother pressures her about her schoolwork, her grades, and taking care of posting/monitoring the company’s twitter account because she is so good at. Even though they have a social media person. Having one another to share and confide in on the app becomes a life saver for them as does their growing friendship in real life. Jack fears he will be stuck working in the diner his whole life, never having the chance to follow his dreams. Pepper loves baking desserts and dreams of doing that with her sister, but fears being stuck with her mother handling the company’s social media instead. Being able to express those feelings to someone takes some of the strain off.

When Pepper starts posting about a grilled cheese sandwich for the new menu, it sparks a controversy between the families’ businesses because it’s the same exact recipe as Jack’s grandmother’s grill cheese sandwich served in the deli. Jack and Pepper begin a Twitter war so intense and snarky over the grill cheese sandwiches—unaware they are tweeting each other—that it takes over the Internet and social media. People even start shipping them. One of my favorite things about the book is how Pepper unknowingly gives Jack the one thing he desperately yearns for, which is being seen for who he is and being appreciated for his own personality and differences from his twin. She’s always seen him and knows him. I also love that as Jack and Pepper spend more time together slowly becoming friends, Jack sees beyond her façade and to the very non-robotic, imperfect, cool, teenage girl hiding behind much like him. Pepper too discovers that things aren’t always the way they appear and finds a much-needed friend in an unexpected place.

Lord’s writing is descriptive, with well-developed characters you can’t help but root for, humorous and snarky dialogue, and the novel has surprising twists that keep you on your toes. The first person, duel narration, perfectly tells this sweet, funny romance about discovering that life doesn’t always take the paths that we start out on and how taking chances can be scary but ultimately is rewarding because it gets us closer to achieving our goals and making our dreams come true. If we’re lucky we might just find the unexpected along the way—love and lasting friendship.

A witty book about overachiever Pepper and class clown Jack. Add in a Twitter war between the two and you have an adorable, fast paced story about what it means to look beyond one's character flaws. Take a chance on this book, I'm glad I did. I enjoyed getting to know Pepper and Jack better, and I rooted for them. Truly enjoyable read from a debut author.

It is cute, as the title claims, but it so closely resembles other meet cutes that it feels like I have seen this film before with an updated social media platform. If that is what you are looking for in a light summer read then you will like this book.

I have to admit that 2019 was not my reading year will go in more depth in another post but fortunately there was some light to my darkness in my book slump. I was honor to have been chosen to review Emma Lord debut novel “Meet Cute” a fluffy, witty, lighthearted novel just as good as a gooey grilled cheese or burger depending on your tastes.

Meet Cute is the story of two teens Pepper and Jack both of them have families that own a food business but what happens when a Twitter war ensues between them and what happens when they start falling for each other.

I adored this rom com. More than the cuteness overload the story also provide good deep aspects that I seriously loved. While is was funny and cute it also had that seriousness to it was the perfect mix to a good heartfelt rom com. The characters were well developed and liked and the writing was excellent. In overall Tweet Cute was great debut, it provide all the key points for a perfect read. I would recommend to have some snacks while reading because you’ll get hungry 😉❤️.

Y'all this so cute. I can't stop grinning (some might say cheesin') . . . I'll show myself out. But seriously, I definitely recommend this cute YA contemporary romance, especially if you love a good enemies-to-lovers trope and healthy heaping of cheese puns!

The title is so accurate when describing this novel. It is definitely a cute summery romance. A must read this summer.

i really enjoyed this one, and thought it was a really cute romance with a really good message about how we are not the dreams (and mess ups) of our parents. and even though legacies are important, we are all deserving to finding and living and being happy in our own dreams.

One of my favorite tropes and it did it so well!! I loved the characters and the humor was so well dealt with.

3/5 stars. This was very cute. Hah cute. Tweet cute. Anyways. There was some lgbtqia+ representation-gay+lesbian I believe-which you don’t always see in YA novels that are centered around straight people. I’m not sure if there was any diversity races such as black people, yellow people and so on, but I can’t say for sure. No one was ever described as black or anything else though, which is disappointing.

ARC provided by Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

I was drawn to this book by the premise of two rival restaurants, having tweet wars. It sounded hilarious, and this is an enemies to lovers type of story which is my favourite and I knew I needed to read it.

Tweet Cute alternates points-of-view, between seemingly uptight Pepper and, also seemingly, class clown Jack. I really loved how they felt like real teenagers. They used twitter to promote there families restaurants, while facing struggles of following there dreams.

Overall, this was a really fun and cute story. The romance was really sweet. I recommend if your looking for a light read.

I ended up listening to the audiobook after the book was published and I really enjoyed it. The dialogue is so much fun, and I've been recommending it to others.

All's fair in love and ... Twitter wars? Emma Lord's debut YA novel Tweet Cute is an adorable rom-com romp that pits a wildly successful restaurant franchise against a mom and pop deli, and get this ... the battle is being waged by ... who else? Teens on Twitter!

Pepper's parents started Big League Burger in Nashville when she was just a child. Fast forward several years, and Big League Burger is now a massive money-making franchise, Pepper's parents have split up, and she is living with her mom in NYC while attending a highly competitive prep school - not to mention the fact that Pepper has to practically do the job of Big League Burger's social media manager for her since she is just so out of touch with the snarky tweeting style that is making waves on the web these days.

Jack is the "loser twin;" living in the shadow of his brother Ethan, and destined to someday take over the family business - a deli called Girl Cheesing - ... a job, he can say, he definitely doesn't want. And while Jack isn't quite passionate about his work at Girl Cheesing, he can't help but feel incensed when he discovers that Big League Burger has stolen his family's grilled cheese recipe, and is not only selling it as its own, but is even calling it by the same name - Grandma's Special. Jack takes to Twitter on Girl Cheesing's account to call out Big League Burger and unwittingly starts an all-out war that goes viral, much to his shock and dismay.

You can see where this is going, right? With Pepper punching the keys and creating the quips for Big League Burger and Jack dishing the dirt on their copycat ways for Girl Cheesing, these two classmates have no idea that it is actually each other they are attacking on Twitter. Things get even more complicated when Pepper and Jack unknowingly begin to fall for each other on an anonymous dating app that Jack created for their school. Will knowing the truth change everything?

One pit that contemporary YA novels can fall into is being boringly predictable, but that is not the case with Tweet Cute. Emma Lord manages to keep things fresh, even providing plot twists that I did not see coming up until the very end of the book, This novel is cute, funny, engaging, and overall, a delight.

To its credit, Tweet Cute's modern, many-layered plot has much substance, and slowly builds throughout the course of the novel, as do the characters, evolving and growing as this all-out Twitter war comes to a head. These characters have spunk and personality, and were a lot of fun to get to know. Told in alternating viewpoints between Pepper and Jack, Tweet Cute gives readers much to ponder about, and even might encourage them to pick a side! Do you support the small business, or do you believe that anything goes in corporate America? Do you "ship" Pepper and Jack as a couple, or would you rather see them end up with anyone besides each other?

For fans of contemporary YA, Tweet Cute is a must-read - this book is solid and so much fun! Millennials looking to love a "You've Got Mail-esque" novel for the modern age will also immensely enjoy this book.

Thank you NetGalley and the publisher for this review copy of Tweet Cute by Emma Lord.
Tweet Cute is an adorable romp through New York City through the eyes of two high school seniors Jack and Pepper. Romantic comedy fans of movies like You’ve Got Mail will appreciate how these two driven teens fall for each other while they battle over Twitter about who has the best grilled cheese sandwich and flirt with each other anonymously over a social media app.

Despite all the obstacles and misunderstandings this is a low angst light-hearted YA romance that is perfect for someone looking for a break between heavier reads. There is very little reference to anything that younger audiences would object to and can be enjoyed by all ages.

I give it a solid 3.75 (rounded up to 4 for Goodreads) and I look forward to more from this author!

This book was of two halves. I really enjoyed the first half then it got a bit tedious. I loved Jack, and his personality shined through and my favourite chapters was his point of view. I found the last really rushed which was disappointing as up to that point I was loving the interactions with Pepper and Jack. With it having the title Tweet Cute, I was expecting more in Tweet form. As I do love books in social media format. I loved Emma’s writing and can’t wait to see what she writes next.

Thanks goes to net galley and the publishers for providing me with a copy in exchange for an honest review
