Tweet Cute by Emma Lord
5.0

Another review I accidentally deleted:

This was such an adorable book! I loved every minute of it. Not only that, but it made me totally hungry to make my own fancy grilled cheese sandwiches. First of all, how adorable is the title? The play on the whole “meet cute” is perfect. It was fun to see teens using Twitter and totally in the way that so many use it today, to start the wars that these days keep me away from Twitter a lot. But I also loved how Pepper’s family company was trying to do the snarky tweets that a lot of fast food companies like Wendy’s actually have done. Those are the types of things that get me back on Twitter occasionally. It was definitely great for both Pepper and Jack to have their own family and personal issues that not only made them good friends with lots in common whether they realized it or not, but it also kept them from figuring out their connection on the school app, Weazel. Another really great part is that all the characters had their own reasons for doing things, and the stereotypes weren’t always true, and I like seeing that in YA books. For characters to have to see those aren’t right, and for the author to show us that as well. However it wasn’t a bunch of goody-goody fictional characters either. They did real teenage things, got in trouble, had parent issues, sibling issues, etc. Even with the frustrating parental issues, in the end, I liked how all the parents were supportive of what was best for their child, while still holding them accountable for any mistakes they’d made. Definitely one I’ll be recommending as well as purchasing for the students in my school library.
