Overview
A witty rom-com reinvention ... with deeply relatable insights on family pressure and growing up." - Emily Wibberley and Austin Siegemund-Broka, authors of Always Never Yours and If I'm Being Honest
"An adorable debut that updates a classic romantic trope with a buzzy twist. - Jenn Bennett, author of Alex, Approximately and Serious Moonlight A fresh, irresistible rom-com from debut author Emma Lord, Tweet Cute is about the chances we take, the paths life can lead us on, and how love can be found in the opposite place you expected.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.

Great Characters + Cute Plot + Amazing Writing = A Must Read
Florence S. - 5 years 6 months agoAmazing amazing amazing. That's how this book is. There's a lot to love in this book as it deftly provides strong characters in both of the main characters - making both of the protagonists intensely likeable and understandable. Aside from strong character development, the book has everything - female friendship, a journey to find oneself, humor, and a great (somewhat) enemies to lovers trope. I strongly recommend this book as your next great rom com for all ages. #SpringPicks

The Cutest Thing in YA Fictional Romance
Anika M. - 6 years 2 months agoOh my, I was definitely expecting romance when I picked this book up but reading it? I was caught up in such a whirlwind of emotions and wittiness, I just really wanted to go back into the pages of the genius that is this book and memorize all the totally awesome comebacks (for which I am terrible at coming up within reality). I plowed through this book, always on the edge of my seat for what happens next. If you're a fan of romance, comedies, and a whole lot of cheesy wit, this is DEFINITELY the book for you. It has definitely made my top three favorite romances :)

The cheesiest romance ever told, and a love we can all brie-lieve in! #SummerReading
Jennifer N. - 6 years 3 months agoAll’s fair in love and war but there are new rules for a new game board. Welcome to the era of social media, where all bets are off and anything goes! Thus ignites a foodie Twitter explosion: Swedish Irish neighborhood deli versus Big League Burger franchise. An emoji war 🧀 versus 🍔. Two high school nemeses set on “destroying each other in a virtual battlefield armed with memes and snark.” But contrary to the trajectory of tradition, “at some point, it stopped being a war and started being a game” with a recipe for romance! (If only all wars would do the same.) For a girl named Pepper, she’s pretty salty about losing; for a guy named Jack, he’s pretty bad at knowing when to hit the road. These “Cheese-Crossed Lovers” are mirror images of each other. Pepper has an estranged older sister; Jack has an eclipsing twin brother. Pepper has a blossoming friendship with a girl named Pooja; Jack’s ride or die is Paul. Pepper is captain of the swim team; Jack is unofficially captaining the diving team. Both are competing for best grilled cheese from an arguably identical recipe. And while they may not agree on anything else, “mac and cheese and cupcakes are the two most essential food groups.” Ingredients: First, add unresolved tension between twin siblings. Mix in mother/daughter codependency (not typically tackled in fiction). Layer with a diving board, public transportation and the opportunity to overcome anxiety. “Add chocolate chips, butter, flour, salt, cocoa powder, eggs, and more embarrassment than the body of a teenage girl can possibly contain, set the oven to a bazillion degrees, and set the whole damn thing on fire.”Will Jack and Pepper (Patricia)’s war result in a Jactricia truce and a Monster Cake ever after? A story that “feels like this whole thing has been a giant heap of Monster Cake from start to finish—good, but messier than either of us could’ve ever anticipated...Of all the unexpected recipes this ‘weird dessert brain’ of mine has ever come up with, I doubt I’ll ever create anything as perfect as the one right in this room...There you have it, folks. A fitting end to the cheesiest romance ever told, and a love we can all brie-lieve in.” Tweet Cute is a digital scrapbook of sorts, an epistolary novel in all its forms: text, app, Twitter posts, vlog, news article--as well as a recipe for shameless food porn that will leave readers salivating for the sequel recipe book with all the P&P Bake blogposts that ultimately reveal Pepper’s identity: Monster Cake, So Sorry Blondies, Rainy Day Pudding, Unicorn Ice Cream Bread, Help Me Hangover Cookies, Trash Talk Tarts, Kitchen Sink Macaroons, Swedish toscakaka, Fuck Your Midterms Meringue, Tailgate Trash Twinkies, A-Plus Angel Cake, Butter Luck Next Time Butter Cookies, High Dive Cream Pie, Acrophobia Apple Crisp, Midterm Moon Pies, Pop Quiz Cake Pops, Sex-Positive/Slutty Brownies, Pepper’s Crappy Crap Day Crinkle Cookies. And a secret ingredient (SPOILER: none other than sweet bell peppers, of course)! Pairs well with Jacqueline Davies’ Lemonade War for intermediate readers and Julie Buxbaum’s similar epistolary YA love story Tell Me Three Things. #SummerReading

So cute!
Em W. - 6 years 4 months agoAmazing! The kind of book you read in one sitting because you’re so invested. There’s some good plot twists that keep it from being too predictable, and the main characters are highly likable. Would easily recommend to anyone! #SummerReading

Cute!
Yentl D. - 6 years 4 months agoThis was the CUTEST book ever! I loved it! It was very Romeo and Juliet, but it was definitely an original story. Pepper was smart and had Twitter comebacks for days. And Jack was super smart and funny. This was very entertaining and it had me hooked from the beginning. All of the characters in this book were awesome. And all of the conflicts were resolved by the end of the book which was great. This mentions so many good desserts and I really want some of that Monster Cake. #pepperjackforever :D #SummerReading
