I received an advanced copy of this book from the publisher, Wednesday Books, and Net Galley in exchange for an honest review. I also want to thank Wednesday Books and St Martin’s Press for inviting me to be a part of this blog tour.

Even though Pepper and Jack don’t like each other, they have a lot in common. They both live in New York City, they both go to the same expensive school, they’re both on water-based athletic teams, they both use the anonymous chat app Weazel, and they’re both secretly running company Twitter pages for their parents. This shortlist of things in common is enough to turn the dislike into friendship, and maybe even something more.

My favourite thing about this book was the different relationships between Pepper and Jack. There’s the relationship they have at school, where Pepper is determined to be at the top of the class, and Jack is determined to be the class clown. There’s their unknown relationship on the Weazel app, where they’re both are lost, somewhat vulnerable, and they don’t know how to live up to their family’s expectations. And there’s the relationship they have with the Twitter war, full of memes, jabs, and snarky comments. I loved watching these three different relationships slowly amalgamate into a genuine friendship and eventually something more.

My second favourite thing about this book was the food and baking. The sandwiches at Girl Cheesing all sound amazing, and the Kitchen Sink Macaroons are something that I need in my life. I’m less impressed with the menu at Big League Burger, but Pepper runs a baking blog with her sister Paige and their creations sound divine, especially Monster Cake. I love books that feature food, and food in this book did not disappoint in the food department.

The other thing that I loved about this book is that it showed that perception is often different than reality. Pepper and Jack have both spent most of their life believing things that aren’t true. Throughout the story, both Pepper and Jack realize that these beliefs were incorrect, and it changes things for them. These realizations lead to new friendships, better family relationships, and a romantic relationship between the two of them.

Tweet Cute was my first read of the year, and it was perfectly fluffy. The characters were wonderful, the story was super cute, and it was full of cheesy puns. The story felt original and the pop-culture references weren’t overwhelming. Pepperjack is my first major ship of the year, and I know I’ll be blogging about this book and the characters all year long. I highly recommend it and I can’t wait to see what Emma Lord writes next.
