Tweet Cute Book Review

 

Tweet Cute Book Summary

If you like GIFS, Twitter wars, young adult novels, chatting on apps, cute love stories, high school drama or food, you’ll love reading Tweet Cute! Tweet Cute is an adorable journey through social media, parents’ expectations, and finding love in the most unexpected places.

Pepper and Jack go to the same high school, but as the respective class know-it-all and class clown they rarely cross paths. At least until they discover they’re on opposing sides of a Twitter war between an international burger chain and a local sandwich shop.

Once they agree to go all out in their Twitter feud, they can’t seem to stop spending time together. Pepper and Jack are both unsure of their feelings though, since they’ve each been chatting with an anonymous someone else on their school’s unofficial app. Will their friendship become something more or will their online feud turn into a real life issue?

 

My Thoughts

I couldn’t get enough of this YA love story! It’s a fun ride through memes, GIFs, apps, and social media. While the bantering and rivalry are entertainment on the surface, there’s also a healthy dose of learning to go after your dreams and the importance of real communication.

The school Pepper and Jack attend is ruthless and demanding and we can see Pepper get caught up in that with detrimental consequences. I was one of those overachievers, so I loved that she realizes getting good grades is important but not everything.

It’s also refreshing to read a story where social media plays a helpful role in bringing kids together. The anonymous app is appropriately monitored to shut down hateful comments and it actually brings about positive changes like the formation of study groups.

It’s obviously hilarious reading about the memes and GIFs Jack and Pepper come up with as well! Who doesn’t love a Mean Girls reference in the book they’re reading?? I’m admittedly not the most savvy “internet-er” but even I recognized most of the references they made 🙂

Be prepared to have a snack nearby because all the talk of food, specifically sandwiches, will put you in the mood to eat! I adore books about food so this was just the icing on top of a book I adored.

Tweet Cute is a wonderful addition to the YA genre and will certainly be one of my favorite 2020 reads!

This book is available from Amazon, Bookshop.org and Thriftbooks for around $10!
