Publisher: Wednesday Books
Publish Date: January 21, 2020
Synopsis: Meet Pepper, swim team captain, chronic overachiever, and all-around perfectionist. 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.
Enter Jack, class clown and constant thorn in Pepper’s side. When he isn’t trying to duck out of his obscenely popular twin’s shadow, he’s busy working in his family’s deli. 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.
All’s fair in love and cheese — that is, until Pepper and Jack’s spat turns into a viral Twitter war. 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.
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.

Tweet Cute by Emma Lord was a buzzed book. A really highly buzzed book. But that didn’t stop me from wanting to immerse myself in this story, be obsessed about the cover, or even fall in love with this story.
The synopsis says it all. It’s a Romeo and Juliet if it revolved around grilled cheese snark on the internet. I fell in love with three simple details:
- Grilled Cheese was the main attraction.
- Their social media snark was EVERYTHING.
- Their virtual conversations were like a 20th century Cyrano retelling.
I love Pepper. She’s who I thought I was in high school, if I was actually that cool. I really connected to her, especially with every worry and desire that she had. It was easy to get completely obsessed with her story. My heart goes to Jack. He is a sweet guy, who means well, and well. High school, right?
I appreciated and loved the dynamic between Pepper and Jack, together and individually. I also enjoyed the interactions with their families and their personas online. They added a third dimension, another special element that just added to why I loved LOVED loved Tweet Cute.
This story had it all, for me. The pacing was perfect. I was engaged the whole time and just couldn’t put it down. I’m so thankful for the the early copy that I had.
I can’t wait for more from Emma Lord.
