This book was sweet, charming, a little goofy, a LOT of fun, and it simply made me smile. So, I say, Emma Lord, job well done! I think I started this book with a smile, and ended it in happy tears, and here are five things that delighted me as I read Tweet Cute:
• #PepperJack - At one point during the book, the internet began shipping these two, but I was shipping them way before that. Both Pepper and Jack felt a little bit lost and out of place. Jack lived in the shadow of his popular identical twin, while Pepper lost part of herself, as she tried to adapt to NYC prep school life. However, when they were together, they were able to shed all pretenses, and be themselves. Why wouldn't I want that!
• Secret penpals - You are going to see a whole lot of You've Got Mail comparisons, and here's another one. Not only were these two tweeting at each other, they were also anonymous friends on a secret app. I loved their exchanges, and was eager for an unmasking, since they were never as honest with each other in real life. It was hard knowing what they didn't know, but it was also lovely seeing their feelings for each other, IRL, change without that knowledge.
• Predictable and unpredictable - The predictability was with something I really valued, so I had exactly zero problems with that. It's what I wanted, and what I came here for, but Lord threw in a few surprises towards the end, which I found made great additions to an already fabulous story.
• Delicious Desserts - One of the things Pepper like to do was bake. This girl took her desserts seriously. I mean, she carried emergency dessert condiments in her backpack in order to doctor up dishes she purchased. I looked forward to all her culinary delights. They had fun names, and were made from the most incredible combination of ingredients. I personally lean more savory than sweet, and even I was salivating from the descriptions.
• An AMAZING Ending!!! - When I saw this book had an epilogue, I was very excited, but I nearly jumped out of my pants, when I saw it was a jump-ahead epilogue. Let me tell you, it was perfection, and Lord tied up those ends in such an epic and masterful way, that I actually have tears in my eyes just thinking about it.
"A fitting end to the cheesiest romance ever told, and a love we can all brie-lieve in."
This book easily earned a place on my made-me-happy list. The combination of romance, family drama, teen antics, and food seemed tailor made for me. Tweet Cute was like a gooey grilled cheese on a brisk fall day. It left me extremely satisfied, and all warm on the inside.
