Thank you NetGalley and Wednesday Books for providing me with an eARC in exchange for an honest review.

This is probably more a 4.5 than a 4 stars!

This book took me by surprise!! I almost finished it in one day which is the best feeling ever. I just couldn't stop reading. Jack and Pepper are amazing and so cute aah. Jack is adorable, I love him so much omg. I really enjoyed the Twitter war! I was kind of hesitant about this because I thought it would be kind of cringy but oh my god I loved it. The whole Twitter war took a whole different turn than I was expecting and it was amazing. I really didn't like Pepper's mom though. She was just very annoying and I felt so bad for Pepper.

Also, THE EPILOGUE AAAAAH. Amazing, just amazing.

Tweet cute was a light hearted read that follows the food wars of two teenagers. I thought it was a very cute concept that wasn’t just a little cheesy (sort of pun intended). I think there was a lot more that could have been told about this story, but it was still enjoyable.


I received a copy of Tweet Cute from NetGalley in exchange for an honest and fair review.

As soon as I read the synopsis I knew I would need to get my contemp loving hands on this book! And I knew I would love it. And of course I did. And listen, this was one of the cutest books I’ve read in a long time.


The class clown and the valedictorian meet in a Twitter war for the ages over a grilled cheese sandwich. One feels like the other stole a sacred recipe and the other feels they they did no such thing, and they’re duking it out on Twitter. In doing so, they find out so much more about the other and themselves…. And their parents.


I LOVED this. I’m a sucker for a good rom-com, so this was right up my alley. And it most definitely was. There were times it made me literally laugh out loud. I snorted at a couple of the lines and got strange looks from co-workers. That’s just how much I laughed. After finishing this, I went to find the author on Twitter, and you’ll be happy to know, Lord is just as hilarious on Twitter as these two were.


The romance in this one was ok, but I wish there was more of it. I mean since I shipped them the entire book. But we don’t get the romance until the end. I know the point of this book is a Twitter war where they’re going at it, but still. If there’s anyone that can honestly say they shipped someone other than those two, I want to know what book they read because I somehow missed it lol


The only thing I didn’t care for was her Mom. I don’t like saying this about Moms, but her was a JERK. This entire situation was SUPER PETTY. And you listened to your kids for everything else, but not for when she’s telling you something important. It was such a stupid grudge and I really wanted to shake her and say “GROW UP” when it was revealed. I was hoping it was like they were related or something lol


I can’t be the only one who was reminded of the Popeyes vs Chickfila war. I can’t help but wonder if that’s where this idea stemmed from? It seems like the weirdest thing to write a book over, but it actually worked. Like really worked. I can’t wait to see what pop culture topic she’ll write her next book on!

This was such a cute read that I just could not put down. I have been taking 5 and sometimes longer days to finish a 300 page book lately, but this one I blew through. It was an easy read, that was filled with humor, great characters, and amazing dessert recipe ideas. (Also, I need to find a way I can make the Monster Cake but Keto style lol) I hope everyone who reads this book loves it as much as I do.

4.5/5

Maybe the real relationship was the grilled cheese we made along the way.

I love this grilled cheese romance and everyone should know. I don't know why it took me so long to read it, but it was worth it!

I recently picked up TWEET CUTE and I am loving it. I find Pepper’s character one that really resonates with me. Her perfectionist personality and wit are a lot of fun. And for all my banter loving readers- you’ll find some great banter here! ⁣

I was super excited for this one. It was getting great reviews, but I honestly found myself getting bored. I didn’t really like the characters or the storyline. I can see why others adore it, I guess it just wasn’t for me.

Listen up, You’ve Got Mail fans! In this new romantic comedy, Jack and Pepper are classmates at an Upper East Side private school. Unlike their privileged peers—and unbeknownst to each other—they spend their leisure hours managing the social media accounts for their families’ respective restaurants. Pepper’s family owns a hugely profitable burger chain; Jack’s family owns a beloved deli on the Lower East Side. When a twitter battle about a grilled cheese recipe erupts between the two businesses, Jack and Pepper are each playing to win—but they don’t know they’re fighting each other. This breezy read features snappy dialogue and a slowburn friends-to-something-more story, while closely following the beats of You’ve Got Mail. I read this adorable (and chaste) story in a single evening.

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. Little do they know, while they’re publicly duking it out with snarky memes and retweet battles, they’re also falling for each other in real life ― on an anonymous chat app Jack built. review: A debut novel with a unique plot line? Sign me up! I really loved the premise of the book and wish I had enjoyed it more. It was a cute, cheesy read but I wasn’t expecting it to be about high schoolers and that threw me a bit! Although I couldn’t relate to the characters, I really enjoyed them. Jack and Pepper’s palpable chemistry totally made the story. Their stubbornness and banter were highly entertaining and I loved seeing what was up their sleeves! The book did feel a bit long at certain parts between the twitter war and some of the dialogue. But, if you’re looking for a fluffy, cute read – go for it! rating: 3.5 out of 5⭐️

#partner / Thank you @wednesdaybooks and @netgalley for the free ebook.

Here’s an adorable YA contemporary novel that’s plenty of fun to add to your TBR. This one has all the romcom content and is as the title implies - very cute.

Pepper and Jack go to the same school. She’s a super dedicated student with her sights set on the Ivy League, is captain of the swim team and in all her spare time helps maintain her family business’s, a huge fast food chain called Big League Burger, twitter and social accounts.

Jack is constantly in the shadow of his twin brother, Ethan, plays the part of class clown and feels pressured to give up his dreams to take over his family’s deli, Girl Cheesing, someday.

When Big League Burger posts an ad for their new menu item to Twitter, the recipe is nearly identical to the recipe that Girl Cheesing has been serving for years. The incident creates an all out twitter feud between the two companies and Jack and Pepper’s are the ones running the accounts.

It’s been a minute since I’ve read a YA contemporary and this one was really well done. It has all the familiar elements that we love about teen romantic comedies, and had some really sweet moments. If you’re looking for something lighter to read, this is a perfect choice. Perfect for readers who love Jenny Haan, Morgan Matson, Kasie West or Emily Wibberly and Austin Siegemund-Broka.

Thank you for the opportunity to read and review this title.

I loved this one! It is light and fun. The perfect read when you need to tune out the world. I will definitely be recommending this often! Thank

It starts off slow and kind of dense, but once the action begins, it's hard to resist the story as it drives forward. It reads as a true epic, one that makes you feel the world really has been reshaped as you read it. Would recommend.

This is exactly the kind of book that I am here for! I was so pleasantly surprised when I picked up this novel to read it, as it had been a while since I read the synopsis so I didn't quite remember what it was about. The family drama and the backstory was so good! I love that eventually the two sides were able to come together to get over their past struggles.

Warning: this book will make you hungry. 🤤

Absolutely one of the cutest books I've ever read. Pepper & Jack (Pepperjack 🧀) are so cute I just can't handle it. 😍
The Upper East Side setting was perfect and gave me all the Gossip Girl vibes (speaking of Gossip Girl, I loved all the GG references and other movies/TV/pop culture references 😂). All the food descriptions in this book sounded delicious and made me hungry and I need to try some of the dessert creations asap.
I really enjoyed Emma Lord's writing style, it was easy to fly through, and I loved the tweets, texts and few pictures scattered throughout the story. The characters felt extremely real, acted like real teenagers (very appreciated in a YA book!) and I could picture them all vividly. I need some more books in this world - companion novels maybe?! I'll read anything Emma Lord writes.

I loved this book, absolutely ADORED it!

There are so many aspects of this book that were done so well I don't even know where to start. From family dynamics, friendships and budding relationships, to academic pressures, finding yourself and following your dreams, this book has it all and knocked it out of the park!
I really enjoyed the dual perpectives of Pepper and Jack, but have to say that I especially loved Pepper and how she just oozed sass and sarcasm. I saw so much of myself in her when I was that age, and it was a really great time. I also really enjoyed the use of Twitter as a main component of the story, it felt very fresh and relevant and was such a fun addition.
All in all I would absolutely recommend this book to anyone who is looking for a sweet, witty and charming read, and I greatly look forward to what this author puts out next!

This is the cheesiest book I've read in a long time and it was delicious! I loved the build of the relationship between Pepper and Jack. I loved the inclusion of social media and how it is intertwined, like it or not, into our lives and business life. (Side note social media managing is my job so well done on depicting this!). I think if you can stomach the sweet and appreciate the cozy kitchen feel this book is for you.

Tweet Cute is easy-to-read, enjoyable, and had me smiling throughout the whole novel. Tweet Cute follows Pepper and Jack as they navigate the twitter war between their families while juggling the growing feelings they have for each other.
I LOVED how this book was written, and I felt that the characters were well-written and multidimensional. I really enjoyed how we could see the chemistry between Jack and Pepper and I thought their relationship was cute and wholesome.
I felt as if the author did a good job in not only encapsulating the love story, but also accurately depicting the high school senior experience, and the setting was well written.
I really enjoyed this book, and will definitely be looking out for more books from the author.

Cute, adorable, and fun read for those who love hate to love romances. I was intrigued when a couple of reviewers compared this book to a modern You've Got Mail, one of my favorite movies. I'm glad a picked up this book because it was super cute. Love Pepper and Jack frenemies to love relationship.

Recommend to fans of Kasie West and Jenn Bennett

Tweet Cute is a fun, adorable and witty book full of mouth-watering food, Twitter wars, sassy teenagers and complicated family relationships.

The main characters, Pepper and Jack, are both lovable characters; Pepper is determined and sassy, while Jack is kind and funny and both of them have flaws and insecurities that make them feel like real people. Pepper and Jack’s relationship starts with them feeling a mix between curiosity and irritation towards each other and it evolves into a tentative friendship then a very close frienship and finally a romantic relationship. Seening the development of their relationship is heartwarming and sweet and one of the best parts of the story. This book has a slow-burn, adorable romance between two very different people who have a strong connection.

Twitter plays an important part in the development of their relationship because Pepper and Jack run the social media accounts for their family restaurants and get into an anonymous Twitter war, which was really entertaining to read because both Pepper and Jack can be incredibly snarky and also because the author uses very current references to memes and pop culture to make the Twitter exchanges feel real and be engaging for the reader. Nonetheless, the Twitter war doesn’t remain anonymous for long and it ends up both bring Pepper and Jack closer together but also creating conflict in their relationship.

But Twitter is not the only online space where Jack and Pepper’s lives anonymously entertwine becuase it turns out that they have been talking to each other through an anonymous app for students of their school. After reading the synopsis, it’s easy to believe that this is gonna be a big part of the story, but that’s not the case and it actually feels like adding this element to the story doesn’t really contribute much to Pepper and Jack’s relationship because most of their interactions in the app happen before the book starts. Nonetheless, the few exchanges on the app that are present in the book are entertaining and including this element doesn’t take anything away from the story, so it’s not a big deal.

While the online exchanges play a part in Pepper and Jack’s relationship, this book focuses a lot on their interactions and their connection in real life and that works really well and it makes the story more charming and appealing. Another thing that works really well is the dual perspective because that way we get to know both characters better and they feel more three dimentional but also because it makes this story actually feel like the story of both of them as individuals and as a couple. Lastly, this book does a very good job of depicting complicated relationships with family members, wether it’s with parents or siblings. This element adds depth to the story and it makes it more relatable.

Overall, Tweet Cute is an engaging and entertaining story which focuses on an adorable romance between two characters that are very different from each other but that have an amazing relationship.
