My Review

› Pepper is smart, the swim team captain and perfectionist. She grew up in Nashville with her parents and older sister, Paige until her parent’s burger restaurant became a chain, her parents divorced, and she moved to Manhattan with her mom and Paige. Her parents are amicably divorced, her mom is launching Big League Burger internationally, Paige is at UPENN, and has a non-existent relationship with their mother. Pepper and Paige run a Baking Blog together, which acts as a great way for them to have a close sister relationship. Pepper is struggling to balance her school work with the rest of her responsibilities and often gives in to her mother’s requests due to the rocky relationship her mom has with Paige. So when their mom asks Pepper to take over the Twitter for Big League Burger (BLB), she gives in even though she knows her plate is already over-flowing.

› Pepper loves to swim and it helps her de-stress, along with chatting on the school APP called Weazel. No one knows who created the APP. Every student is given a random username, giving the kids the ability to chat with others anonymously. Pepper loves to chat with one person in particular – Wolf.

› Jack is one of Pepper’s school colleagues who loves to drive her crazy. They don’t like each other at all and have no idea that JACK IS WOLF (this is not a spoiler, you learn this pretty quickly). Jack’s family expects him to take over the family deli business and he hasn’t had the courage to tell them that what he really wants to do is get involved in coding and APP development. OH…Did I mention Jack/Wolf is the secret-creator of Weazel? Ya…no one has any idea how good Jack is at APP development, not even his twin brother, Ethan.

› Ethan is gay, student council president, dive team captain. Jack feels like Ethan is his parents favourite.

› A Twitter war erupts between BLB and Jack’s family Deli after BLB tweets about a new grilled cheese recipe – Grandma’s Special. It’s the SAME “Grandma’s Special” recipe which the Deli has been selling for decades. Jack takes over the Deli Twitter and begins a witty battle with BLB Twitter. Jack and Pepper have no idea that they are the ones behind the Twitter battle.

› I love how the story is told from Pepper and Jack’s perspective. Every time one sends a tweet then they see each other in school having conversations not knowing that they are the ones behind the twitter war AND that JACK is WOLF! OMG I couldn’t get enough of it.

› There is some swearing and kissing, but Tweet Cute is appropriate for teens. I wouldn’t have a problem with my twelve-year-old reading it.

“But sometimes even shouting into a void feels better than just staring into it.”

› Final Thoughts
• Tweet Cute was the perfect First Read for 2020. I can’t wait to buy a copy and read it again! This is a modern, CUTE, funny Rom-Com with fantastic characters, interesting family dynamics, delicious food, and healthy relationships. BIG thanks to Meghan at St. Martin’s Press/Wednesday Books for the complimentary digital ARC. Highly recommend!
