Tweet Cute
by Emma Lord
** I was lucky enough to receive a an advanced reader's copy of this book through a Goodread's Giveaway in exchange for an honest review. **
Let me start by saying, this isn't my normal genre. I don't read a lot of contemporary YA and I read even fewer books considered in the "romance" genre. But, this looked cute, so I entered the giveaway, knowing my students would love it, even if I didn't.
But I did like it, much more than I thought I would.
Both Pepper and Jack's home lives and high school lives were full and well rounded. The characters had a host of concerns, hobbies, friends, and interests. They are some of the most well rounded YA characters I have read in quite some time. The secondary cast is equally well rounded, which makes this story feel very real, despite the idea that a teenage girl is running the social media account for a corporate food chain. I could buy into it, and I did. The romance is a slow burn too, which made this still more believable. No insta-love here!
I feel like the best way to go into this one is by simply reading the blurb on the back, about how these two classmates at a fancy private school wind up locked in a Twitter war over their families' businesses and then dive right in!
** For parents and teachers, this book is squeaky clean. There's nothing obscene or remotely racy in this book. There are a couple of kisses and a mention of drunk teenagers that aren't main characters in the book. The characters are in high school and their concerns are about college applications and the like, so content wise, a middle schooler could read this, but a high school student will relate to it best. **
