Synopsis:
“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.

As their relationship deepens and their online shenanigans escalate — people on the internet are shipping them?? — their battle gets more and more personal, until even these two rivals can’t ignore they were destined for the most unexpected, awkward, all-the-feels romance that neither of them expected.”

Book Review

I think that I’m a little in love. No, scratch that. I am completely head over heels in love with this book. From the first page I felt myself being pulled into this adorable and atmospheric story and now, in the aftermath of reading it, I feel the desperate need for more. More from this promising new author. More unique recipes. And in general, to read more books that make me fall in love like this one. I will forever be searching the depths of YA contemporary to find more books that make me feel like Tweet Cute did. I imagine it’ll be a hard battle, so for now I may just give this book  a reread instead.

Tweet Cute is the type of story that will keep you up late at night. From the hilarious banter, hate-to-love relationship, and the beautiful take on New York there is something for everyone in this book. It is simply impossible not to fall in love with. This story offers a unique and fun experience of recipes so unheard of that you’ll be desperate to try them and thousands of little moments that make the romance blossom. The romantic tension and arc in this story are masterful. Pepper and Jack made an adorable pair and I couldn’t get enough of them together. The humor and chemistry feels vividly alive between them, and I love it.

I couldn’t get enough of the setting. In my mind New York has always been this scary and larger than life place, but I would love to visit it now and see it how Pepper and Jack do. The world was atmospheric, beautiful, and shockingly cozy. Jack’s family sandwich shop was a particular favorite of mine. Emma Lord has a clear talent for writing, as we’ve seen already, but I am specifically impressed by her ability to create a world that feels so much larger than what you read on page…her ability to make the world and everything in it feel truly alive.

There are so many little things I adore about Tweet Cute and I cannot wait for it to be out in the world! This fast and adorable read will grip you from the first chapter and make you wish you could uncover the recipe for Monster Cake. I loved this book and I’m excited to see more work in the future from this promising author.
