A fresh, irresistible rom-com from debut author Emma Lord about the chances we take, the paths life can lead us on, and how love can be found in the opposite place you expected.
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.

I received a copy of this book through the Goodreads First Reads giveaway program. This is my honest review.
This story had a Romeo and Juliet meets Gossip Girl vibe. The main characters go to an elite private school in New York filled with competition to be the best and pad their transcripts for college. Like me, Pepper moved to town and started there as a freshman. Jack had been going to school with the same kids his whole life, but lacking the popularity of his twin brother, eh feels like an outsider.
Pepper and Jack's lives intersect in so many ways, many of them not immediately obvious. This leads to some serious misunderstandings, throwing up roadblocks to their obviously budding relationship. When they agree to work together on a business tweet war, since it led to some major popularity for Jack's family's hometown deli and Pepper's mom insisted she continue tweeting for their big national burger franchise, things really ramp up for them personally.
I loved the banter between the two of them and couldn't help but root for them to get together. And every single misunderstanding felt devastating from the offended party's POV, even with the knowledge of what really happened. And this story is told in dual POV, which gives us some insight into each character on a personal level.
Overall I give Tweet Cute 4.7832 out of 5 stars. - Katie
