Tweet Cute

Pepper Evans manages the social media account for her family’s massive fast-food franchise, Big Cheese. When she tweets a snarky comment at a local New York deli for supposedly stealing a grilled cheese recipe, she triggers a viral corporate war. Unbeknownst to her, the person tweeting back from the deli’s handle is Jack Campbell, her quiet classmate at their elite private school. While their online personas trade sharp-witted insults and public barbs, Pepper and Jack develop a secret, vulnerable friendship in person through an anonymous chat app they use to escape academic pressure and family expectations.
