They feel like people who stick together after the last page ends, which is a rare thing in any teen book.
The way the characters talk to one another, both in person and over text, is done so well. And as they grow closer in person, they’re simultaneously falling in love on Weazel, an app where people can chat with their classmates anonymously. While they unknowingly battle one another on Twitter through their respective business accounts, they also have to work together as captains of the swim and dive teams. Pepper and Jack fall in love as three different people. That is, until he gets on Twitter and finds out a certain fast food chain has copied one of the sandwiches at his family’s deli. Jack, who has always been in Pepper’s peripheral vision, lives above his family-owned deli in the East Village. Despite her outlandish life (living in New York City, running the Twitter account of Big League Burger, captain of the swim team, etc.), she feels familiar. However, Pepper quickly reveals herself as a fully-formed character with dreams, ambitions and flaws. It starts out, as many YA romances do, with the heroine having a cheeky chat with her sister and complaining about her mom during the most stressful time of her life: senior year. Tweet Cute is a book that took me by surprise. 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. 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. All’s fair in love and cheese ― that is, until Pepper and Jack’s spat turns into a viral Twitter war. 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. When he isn’t trying to duck out of his obscenely popular twin’s shadow, he’s busy working in his family’s deli. Enter Jack, class clown and constant thorn in Pepper’s side.
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. The blurb: Meet Pepper, swim team captain, chronic overachiever, and all-around perfectionist. Tweet Cute by Emma Lord delights in the experience of being seen, and of finding your soulmate in the most unlikely of Twitter accounts.
