Tweet Cute by Emma Lord
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.Full disclosure while I was reading this book I was sure it was either written by Emma Mills or Emory Lord... only later did I realize that it was an entirely new to me author!Tweet Cute was a really adorable YA read. It could easily have been five stars but I got stressed out a couple of times while I was reading it. The relationship between the main character and her mom was pretty realistic as far as strained relationships but the "don't rock the boat" mentality of a teen I just can't get behind. That could be because I'm not a huge people pleaser.What this book did have going for it was a teeny tiny mystery/ twist. A really cute high school couple that didn't have huge communication issues! A You've Got Mail vibe. Overall it was a quick read that almost everyone will enjoy! There were multiple times reading this book that I got real Chilton vibes from the school (Gilmore Girls reference) so that was fun! Also, remember Prof Umbridge from Harry Potter? There's some total Umbridge parts as well!Looking for LGBTQ books? This book has a supporting character that you'll like!do: bake!watch: you've got maileat/drink: a milkshake!
