Review: 

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 to understand. 

However, while I enjoyed the format, I almost wish it were traditional. There were some moment in the book where I wished I could have been there.  I missed the emotions somewhat. For anyone who's ever tried to convey their emotions electronically, you understand what I mean. A heartfelt apology or excitement just doesn't come off as heartfelt when reading it on your computer screen instead of hearing it in person.  So while I was able to see the emotions, I have a feeling they would have felt different if I had been there instead of reading a 140 character summary. That said, I do commend Rudnick for being able to do so. 

My Ratings:

Plot: B

Super cute, original, and very relevant to our time. 

Characters: B

Easy to understand, but I couldn't completely connect since there was no face to face dialogue.

Cover: C

A little too personal for a book so electronically distant.

Length:A

Super short, but that fits for this book.

A cute summer read that'll be trending in no time, I give Tweet Heart:

Four Stars!
