Okay, I am seriously going to die from cuteness. Despite all of the hype and the fact that this was an Indigo Staff Pick, I didn’t have super high expectations of this - I thought it was just going to be an easy breezy Romance-Lite to get me through the BS that is the start of 2020. And it was, but like, in an awesome way. Was it StEaMy? Was it hAWt? No, but they are also a couple of 17 year old spazzes, and so that is A-Okay with me. I just want them to be stupid, adorable and awkward, which they both were in spades.
I wish that Pepper’s character had gotten the same level of care that Jack did, but while he felt like he was under genuine pressure from his parents and dealing with a serious inferiority complex, the conflicts that Pepper had to go through were all mostly of her own making and resolved very easily. She didn’t feel like she fit in at school and everyone was out to get each other - then she finds out it was all because of a misunderstanding on her part. She’s stressed about getting into a great school and making her mom proud, but her mom doesn’t give af if she even goes to college. The primary conflict that she had to contend with wasn’t even her own, it was the fact that her sister and her mom didn’t get along. None of these things would have been issues if Pepper had just paid attention or talked with her family even a little bit. Most of her issues felt like they were only added in to add obstacles to her relationship to Jack which, fair. But her own challenges could have been more personal and left her genuinely conflicted the way that Jack’s had.
That being said, Pepper and Jack were both amazing characters. Usually in books like this one or both of the leads is annoying as hell but both of them were actually likable. For Jack this isn’t so hard, he’s supposed to be a lovable dumbass, but Pepper could have easily become very frustrating given her pathological need to fit in and beat everyone else. Instead, Lord offset these traits by making Pepper funny, empathetic and confident while still being delightfully awkward. All in all, Tweet Cute was a funny and adorable addition to my rom-com collection.

We’ve been back in lockdown in Auckland and Tweet Cute was just the book I needed to lighten things up! It was such a fun, cute, bright, funny read! And I loved the concept of a Twitter war about burgers! All of the desserts and shakes sounded DELICIOUS. The Monster Cake sounds like it’s to die for!! I need that in my life!

Very CUTE indeed.
I dont know how to classify this one, is it a mistaken identity? 2 teens from the same school engage in a twitter war from their family business' accounts that blows up on the platform. They don't know the other is behind the snarky responses they are receiving, but they are willing to fight fire with fire.
There is also another element of an anonymous texting app at the school which adds some tension.
I devoured this, I loved the character dynamics and it all seemed very centered in the real world.
