Tweet Cute
Tweet Cute is Emma Lord's debut young-adult romantic comedy, set in a glossy Manhattan prep school and filtered through the corporate Twitter accounts of two competing food businesses. Pepper Evans is a junior, a competitive swimmer, and the secret author of the suddenly-viral tweets coming from Big League Burger, the fast-casual chain her divorced mother runs. Jack Campbell is her chemistry classmate, the polite half of a pair of identical twins whose family has owned a beloved Upper East Side deli for four generations. When Big League Burger launches a grilled cheese that looks suspiciously like the Campbell family's signature Grandma's Special, Jack starts firing back from the deli's account. Pepper escalates. The internet eats it up. Meanwhile, on a school messaging app called Weazel, an anonymous boy named Wolf and an anonymous girl named Bluebird are quietly falling for each other, neither knowing who the other is.
