Cassie, I was enjoying your review and then your last few paragraphs about how you found yourself in this book made my eyes water. What a feeling that can be! I'm very close with a woman who has been told many times that she's a bit "too much" and, frankly, it's not always been easy for me to be with her when she's at the top of her form. On the other hand, I love her and don't want her to change. She makes me think about how timid I can be sometimes, how buttoned-down, how ungenerous -- because she is so able to go to where people are and bring them out of herself. I'm going to grab this book for future reading. Thanks.

I think that's ultimately what makes friendships so special—that different people can be friends with those who are totally their opposite (she has a great BFF in this book that is quite opposite her!). Thank you for reading!

1) I have had a copy of Tweet Cute forever and haven't read it but will now prioritize it and after reading the phrase "grilled cheese scandal."

2) Thank you for the celeb drama shout out.

3) I can't believe parents are old enough to have livejournal.

I remember first reading that premise and going "OH NO, IT CAN'T BE TRUE!" But alas, it is true! And honestly Tweet Cute is such a bright spot. I remember reading it in the early days of the pandemic and it lifted me out of such a slump. Grilled cheese scandal! (There are lots more food-related dramas and they're all delightful and hilarious!)
