I had “Tweet cute” on my tbr for a lot of time, and I finally read it last week. WHAT. WAS. I. THINKING. Seriously, why did I ignore this for so long? I had such a great time reading it!
Let’s start with the characters: Pepper and Jack. While both of them attend the same private school in NYC, they couldn’t be any more different. Pepper is an overachiever. Although, to be honest, she's more of a lonely girl who's thrown herself into school and sports to create a way too full timetable and keep her mother -and her fears about the future- at bay. Jack, on the other hand, is more of a joker and often feels he lives in the shadow of his twin, golden boy, diving team captain and student president Ethan. I enjoyed how they slowly go from being kind of frenemies and classmates to friends and partners. Also, I loved how Emma Lord set their interactions in two different types of social media: Twitter and Weazel, an app where students from Stone Hall chat anonymously.
We can’t skip the tweets: those were hilarious, I would love to see that happen for real (or maybe not, because I don’t think fast-food chains attacking small businesses would go that well). And the BAKING, I love baking, so Pepper and her sister’s creations won me (I definitely am NOT thinking on trying any of those recipes, at all).
The pace was good also, although there were a few things I didn’t get. Like, what’s wrong with Pepper’s sister, Paige? The little information we got didn’t quite explain such anger towards her whole family. The thing with the parents… Well, I won’t go into much detail to avoid possible spoilers (I know, spoilers? Everyone has already read this), but most of their actions were just WRONG. Someone get counseling for that people, especially for Pepper’s mum.
Also, have I already said I love memes? That was probably one of the things I liked the most about “Tweet cute”, it used such a lighthearted humor and made reading very enjoyable. And the word puns? ‘Cheesy romance’, ‘tweet cute’? Emma Lord has my heart and a place in my bookshelf, forever.

This book was so cute I don't even know what to think! It has a bit too much drama for my taste, but any lover of YA contemporary romance will love this book.
Jack was the sweetest, and cutest book boyfriend! Is it weird that from those two sentences a few pages in, when Pepper just says his name and that he's the class clown, that I knew he was going to be the love interest? I hadn't even read the synopsis or anything, I just had a feeling from all the romance I've read before.
Definitely a good book to read after a haunting Thriller to be able to sleep

Me gustó pero debo decir que quizás ya no estoy en la época en la que busqué leer sobre adolescentes.
Igual lo que hizo que me gustará mucho es que la historia girará en torno a comida, restaurantes y repostería; eso me encantó.
Además la razón por la cual sucede la guerra de Twitter, uy eso si estuvo bueno, porque no sólo es por algo superficial sino que de verdad había un trasfondo y me hizo pensar en que existen dos partes de una historia.

yeah so my review of this sucked and i would like to forget everything i have ever said in my life
This book is so adorable, and not even in a way that made me angry, it was just super cute. I love You've Got Mail so much and I really didn't think anything could compare, but this was perfect. I can't think of a single criticism for this book because every single twist and turn and reveal and conversation and passing comment was so well thought out, planned, and wrapped up that I can tell Lord loves the movie as much as the rest of us. Even the additions to the story only seemed to make it more realistic for the internet age of today and more YA. Pepper and Jack are literally so stupidly cute together, I just know I would have been so jealous of them in high school. I can't recommend this book enough, it's truly such a feel good story that will bring a smile to your face, guaranteed.
