avigail 's review for:

From Twinkle, with Love by Sandhya Menon
2.75
challenging emotional informative lighthearted medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Strong character development: No
Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Complicated

As much as I loved When Dimple Met Rishi, I had a hard time with From Twinkle, with Love. Yes, the diary format writing to the female directors is a great idea, but Twinkle, our main character, is immature. She isn't behaving like a senior in high school; she feels like a seventh-grader with many tantrums.
I also have trouble with Hindi phrases, and I would love to have the translation at the bottom of the page with an asterisk for the audience that doesn't speak Hindi.
I love Twinkle's grandmother, Didi. Yes, it is a very diverse book, but it is flat even though it has potential.
