I loved the set-up this novel... being a Twitter addict myself, I found that aspect to be very unique. However that did lead to the novel being read very quickly, but I don't necessarily consider that a bad thing.
The plot was engaging enough, if not a little bit predictable, I think any reader would be able to see the outcome of this story before it happens, but it's still fun to read! With the novel being in tweet format it was hard to really 'know' the characters. The characters did represent...more

Let me just gush about the pages for a minute. Each one is designed to a perfection. Each page has a cute background, not unlike Twitter. The blog entries are headed by spiffy blog headers. And before each tweet is a small little picture of the…er, tweeter? Tweet Heart was such a visually appealing book!
The characterization was pretty good, especially considering Rudnick had to do it in 140 characters or less. Although, readers get to learn more about Claire and Bennett through their blogs and W...more

This was such a great book! I first heard of it when I saw one of my GR friends, and a book review I admire had read and reviewed it here and on her youtube channel. Took a look at the description on here, and it looked good. I'll admit I was a bit saddened when I found out there wasn't a Nook version available. Oh well. Then today, I was with my best friend at a mall, and we were at a bookstore. While perusing, I saw a lone copy of this book standing on the shelf. It was practically crying out...more
This book is entirely written in Tweets/emails/blog posts, so I had to pick it up. I'm a sucker for those kind of books. The overall plot is that Claire likes JD, the most popular guy in school. But one of her best guy friends, Will, likes Claire. And Will pretends to be JD on Twitter (persuaded to have one Tweet conversation with Claire by his best friend, another character in the story, Bennett), which goes a bit too far. Alongside this, Bennett keeps blogging and Claire runs her advice column...more

Nikdo, našla jsem náhodou v knihovně.
Hodnotit tuto knihu je těžké. Mám ráda experimenty, takže mě tweetový román samozřejmě zaujal. Líbí se mi, že je kniha napsaná formou tweetů, blogových zápisků, emailů a sloupků ze školních novin. Navíc je i velmi pěkně udělaná, obálka i vnitřek jsou hezky graficky zvládnuty. Tímto moje chvála asi končí. Při čtení jsem se totiž dost nudila.
Slabým místem knihy je zápletka – bohužel se skládá ze samých provařených klišé a román v podstatě po dějové stránce nemá čím zaujmout. Je to taková klasika...more

This teen story of love, school, and friendship is told mostly through tweets, with occasional emails, blogs, and school newspaper articles. The fun, creative format will appeal to readers, though the book will also have a limited shelf life as technology progresses and the references to current popular TV shows become outdated. The four main characters are smart and sweet, and pretty normal teenagers. The book is blissfully free of inappropriate language and situations, but still manages to be...more
I didn't have extremely high hopes for Tweet Heart, as I was a little apprehensive of the style it was written in, but it definitely turned out to be a pleasant surprise. I really liked the overall plot and theme of the book. The fact that this book was written in tweets, e-mails, and blog posts made it even more realistic because a big part of a lot of relationships is the internet. Some of the writing didn't convey as much emotion and description as I would have liked it to, but I think that w...more
Cute, uniquely presented, and lighthearted, Tweet Heart is a great romantic read. Focusing on four characters, the story is easy to follow and entertaining. Each character gets a decent amount of time and the reader can form a connection with them all.
If there had to be one character for the central focus, it would be Claire. She is the one who ties the set together. Her best friend is Lottie but she is also good friends with Will and Bennett. Though Lottie and Bennett argue and bicker, they hav...more

I can not say enough good things about this book. I absolutely loved it! Elizabeth did an awesome job for her debut novel. I love reading books in diary form, or in this case, e-mails, blogs and tweets! I finished this book in 4 hours. Would have been sooner but I have kids so I couldn't sit right down and read this like I wanted to.

My Summary: Claire's just been given the job of being the school's love advice columnist, and she is definitely not thrilled due to her lack of experience in that department. The guy she's been crushing on for years hardly notices her, and when he does, she's always doing something embarrassing.
But then Mr. Right, JD Whitcomb himself starts following her Twitter account, and she gets to know the man underneath. In the meantime, Claire's best friends Will and Bennett are caught up in a mess that'...more

Claire a Charlotte jsou nejlepší kamarádky již od nepaměti. Pomocí sociálních sítí se spolu dělí o veškeré zážitky, které se jim přihodily. Claire žije život šedé myšky, zatímco Charlotte láme mužská srdce přes kolena. Každá touží po tom úžasném princi, který by zaplnil jejich život.
Co se ale stane, když Claire obdrží ten nejvíce překvapující tweet od kluka, který se jí líbí již od plenek. Proč je ale na twitteru tak úžasný a ve škole se dokáže bavit jenom o lakrosu? A jak do toho všeho zapadaj...more

Tweetheart is a book written completely in tweets, blog posts and emails between four high school friends. Clair is the quiet writer that has a huge crush on the star lacrosse player, Lottie is the BFF that likes to run through guys like toilet paper, Bennette is the nerdy side kick who writes the blog, and Will is the boy that has a huge crush on Clair and thinks that by pretending to be the lacrosse guy on twitter he might be able to make Clair happy.

I've long set my eyes on this book because 1) I'm on Twitter a lot and 2) I'd like a story revolving on that addictive thing, but have put off buying it because I was afraid I was going to get a "fluff" out of it. Don't ask me why but maybe it was because of the blurb. Years - yes, two years, tops - and 17,000 tweets later, somebody was nice enough to swap books with me and this came along with the bunch. Finally, I proved myself wrong again. "Fluff" it's not. It may have used the abused theme o...more

I didn't get into Twitter until last year, but I've had my account for a while now. At work, I think my friends and I converse more in Twitter, and it's kind of fun to watch and read other people's updates. Not to mention following authors and celebrities. Sometimes the best gossip can be found in Twitter, don't you think?

Elizabeth Rudnick’s debut Tweet Heart is original in nothing except its ‘format’. Following four friends, Claire, Lottie, Will, and Bennett through their respective Tweets on Twitter, their blog posts and some emails, what we get is a fairly standard teenage romance novel. Much like Lauren Myracle’s TTYL-series the novelty is the set-up, rather than the plot. There’s only so much you can do with this particular format, of course, and Rud...more

What drew me to this book was the format, Twitter messages (and direct messages), emails, blog posts, and advice columns, honestly I’d read just about anything with this sort of format. But the storyline is what kept me reading. I think the format took this cute and sweet story and made it seem real to me. I mean looking at this kids twitter icons allowed me to see what they "looked like" and imagine them actually typing these sentences and going through these situations.

Tweet Heart was a pretty quick read and fun to follow. As a big Twitter user myself, I was familiar with the 140-character commenting and felt comfortable reading short blips from each character. The one thing that felt strange were the private conversations the characters etched out for themselves? Unless they were direct messaging, I was unfamiliar with a private tweeting service. I suppose I'll have to check into that. Without that private tweeting though, many of the "I like him. Why isn't h...more
What do some people do on a daily basis? We tweet our life stories. Every moment of boredom we find ourselves sharing our inner thoughts and socializing with others. Social networks surround our lives so much that we finally have a YA book to share our love for it together. Elizabeth's innovative approach to writing a romantic comedy in the form of twitter was pure genius. The fast-paced plot and entertaining characters were elements for success. Claire and Lottie were the perfect best friend co...more
#TweetHeart is an adorable and fun read told in tweets, blogs, and email. I really found this whole tweeting idea really clever and awesome! I enjoyed #TweetHeart from the very first page until the end. @lizrudnick developed a story that is light-hearted with very cute romance!

I love reading stories not in the traditional format. So when I found out Tweet Heart was told through tweets, emails, and blog posts, I was definitely intrigued.
Overall, I found Tweet Heart to be a really cute read. It's super light, so it'd make a fantastic beach read. While there is a lot of focus on Claire, the supporting characters played a humongous role. I would even go so far as to say that they were almost equal. Almost. I found the whole cast to be funny and genuine, making them easy...more

I. Love. This. Book. Everything about it felt very authentic. The emails and tweets are seriously how friends communicate these days (my best friend and I basically Facebook our friendship). I loved the characters, although they seemed very young at times. Which sounds silly now that I've typed it, since they are high schoolers. But seriously, these characters were my friends when I was in high school. I hurt with Will over his unrequited love and I laughed at Benn, because he really is an uber...more
Tweet Heart is the first book I've read that was comprised of only tweets, blog entries and emails. It was a quick, fun contemporary read, but it's one of those that hasn't really stuck in my head. I did enjoy the banter between the 4 friends, as well as all the pop culture references Rudnick included in the dialogue (big up to Dollhouse!), though the format didn't work as well as I thought it would.

I picked up this book thinking it would fly by fast since it's all in Tweets. Every other IM book I've ever read just flew by but this one, this one took me three days. I could barly drag myself through it. So much for a short and sweet alternative to all the other Young Adult books out there.

Claire loves to compete in horse competitions but wishes her dad would come to watch. He’s usually too busy with his new wife. She does she get to see her crush, J.D. Whitcomb, when she’s at the stables. Her best friend, Lottie, is bouncing from boy to boy while trying to help Claire see that she’s good enough for J.D. Claire can’t believe when he starts following. She’s confused because J.D. barely acknowledges her but on Twitter he’s great. She knows something is off.

All right, so first off, I feel pretty ridiculous for having read this in the first place but Brendan Halpin said it was good so I figured it was a worthwhile (or at least semi-worthwhile read!). Secondly, I have to admit, I did enjoy this. I'm NOT a Twitterer/Tweeter (?) so it took me a while to figure out the writing style and text structure but once I did it was a pretty fast read. This is your typical cute high school romance that plays out through a series of tweets, e-mails, and blog posti...more

This book was a big D'awwww.
It was sweet and unique. At first I was surprised at how prevalent the twitter updates were but I quickly accepted it. It was a different way to tell a story.
Personally, I think the story was a good one and would've been nicer to read about in the normal format. But oh well, it was really cute and I began to really love the characters because they all cared about each other so much and it was evident in their tweets.

People who want a sweet love story with a happily ever after!
I loved this book! It was simple, adorable, light, and silly. Nothing to serious. The whole book is told in tweets, emails, and blog posts, which I really like in a book. Being different that is. It tells the story of four teens who are all friends and are trying to figure out love. Once they think they got a handle on it, it goes and screws them up again. It was a quick simple read that was super fun too! It only took about one day to finish but I loved every second of it. This book is a sweet...more
