Tweet Cute by Emma Lord: Blog Tour!

-

**This post is being sponsored by Wednesday Books and Macmillan for the release of Tweet Cute by Emma Lord, which comes out January 21st!**
I love a good rom-com! I was so excited when Wednesday Books reached out to me to see if I'd like to be part of the blog tour for Tweet Cute, a YA re-imagining of You've Got Mail! I'm actually a film major, and while I love rom-coms, I'm not funny enough to write the screenplay (or book?) for one :(. Of course, I still love to read them, and Tweet Cute was an absolute delight! It was so cute and so fun and you should add this to your TBR immediately! Emma was kind enough to do a Q&A with me about the book, rom-coms, her favorite ships, and more!

 Thank you so much to Emma Lord for taking part in this Q&A with me! Tweet Cute comes out THIS TUESDAY, so be sure to pick up a copy!
1.   How would you describe Tweet Cute using only pop culture references (ex: Gilmore Girls meets Pretty Little Liars)?

      I'd describe Tweet Cute as You've Got Mail + Gossip Girl + the entire front display case of a .  Sprinkles cupcake shop. 


2.   The romance in Tweet Cute is ADORABLE! What are your favorite romances from movies, TV shows, and YA books? I’m a Scandal junkie, and I’ll be an Olitz shipper until the day I die!


      Oooh, my favorite romances?? At the moment it's Michelle Jones x Peter Parker in the MCU's Spider-Man, Finn x Poe from Star Wars (John Boyega and Oscar Isaac say it's canon, SO IT IS), Anne x Gilbert from Anne with an E, and OMG ALEX x HENRY FROM RED WHITE AND ROYAL BLUE, I swear Casey's trying to kill me. I'm sure I'm forgetting a bajillion of them but those are the ones that are most aggressively in my Tumblr feed right now. [SIDE NOTE: I need to watch Scandal, I own the iconic Olivia Pope wine glass but STILL HAVE NOT WATCHED THE SHOW!!]

3.   Tweet Cute has been compared to You’ve Got Mail. Fun fact: My grandmother went to college with Nora Ephron. They did not like each other, which I find hilarious considering I’m a film major J. What are some of your favorite rom-coms?


      My fave rom-coms are probably About Time, You've Got Mail, Crazy Rich Asians, Mrs. Pettigrew Lives For A Day, Train Wreck, Love, Simon, The Proposal, and Bridget Jones' Baby. [OTHER SIDE NOTE I am very curious what yours are, as a film major!! That's bonkers about your grandmother, what a small world ðŸ˜‚😂.] 


4.   Now that Tweet Cute is out in the world, do you have any other projects you’re working on? If so, are they also rom-coms, or are you exploring other genres?


      I do have some other projects I'm working on! They're all YA rom-com at their hearts, but I'm hoping to expand within that genre. One thing I know for sure is I love an aggressively happy ending ❤❤❤. 

Thank you so much to Emma Lord for taking part in this Q&A with me! Tweet Cute comes out THIS TUESDAY, so be sure to pick up a copy!

XOXO,


Isabella

People Kill People by Ellen Hopkins: The Book I Am Most Conflicted About

TW:  child abuse, racism, domestic violence, sexual assault... I'm probably not even remembering all the trigger warnings because there are so many of them. Just know that this is not a book for the faint of heart.   Oh boy. I don't know what to say about this one. Actually, I do, I just don't know how to articulate it in writing. So. This book follows 6 teens in Tuscon, Arizona. It is told through a mix of verse and prose, though mainly prose. We are told at the beginning of the book that one of the characters, and all of them have motive to do so, acquires as gun. And one of them shoots and someone dies. The 6 teens are very different: we have 2 teen parents; 2 white nationalists; a disabled, fat, LGBTQ character; and a latino character. An interesting this about this book is that it is told from the perspective of Violence, somewhat similar to how The Book Thief is narrated by Death. At times I even forgot that the book was from a character perspective becau

Emergency Contact by Mary H.K. Choi

First, I just want to say that this cover is GORGEOUS. I'm not going to lie about the fact that I may have bought the book itself solely because of the cover. But the book itself is amazing, and I highly recommend it! We follow our two main characters, Penny and Sam. Penny is a college freshman who hoped to become a writer, and Sam is a struggling aspiring filmmaker. The two have a somewhat awkward first encounter, but exchange numbers nonetheless. The keep in constant contact through text without the awkwardness of actually having to see each other. Like I said, I really, really liked this book. It deals with a variety of tough subjects, and I really appreciated the authentic realness of the novel. The pop culture references were really fun, and I thoroughly enjoyed the parts of the story where Penny is crafting her own novel, and the excerpts that are included. I'll link an article about Mary H.K. Choi and Emergency Contact here , as I think it's really worth

A Spark of Light by Jodi Picoult: The Most Timely Book

Wow. There could not be a more timely time to read this book than now. A Spark of Light is definitely one of my favorite books of the year- I couldn't tell you if this book or The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo is my favorite book of the year. This book is centered around the abortion debate in America, and it follows a large cast of characters with conflicting view points on the issue. Essentially, the novel takes place in Mississippi at a women's health clinic. A man walks into the clinic and opens fire, taking hostages. A man named Hugh, a police hostage negotiator, is called to the scene, wherein he receives a message from his teenage daughter, Wren, saying that she is inside the clinic. Wren is not alone, and she and Hugh are not the only perspectives we hear from in this novel: a nurse who takes charge to save a wounded woman, a woman who has come to the clinic to have her pregnancy terminated, a pro-life protester disguised as a patient, the doctor who performs a
