heykellyjensen 's review for:
From Twinkle, with Love
by Sandhya Menon
There is so much to like here. I LOVED the format on this, which is primarily letters from Twinkle to her favorite female filmmakers. I thought the friendship challenges, as well as the rom-com angle, worked well. And most of all, that ending was excellent. It took up a thread I'd kind of forgotten about in the book and put a nice bow on it. Sweet and light, with a girl passionate about filmmaking and feminism, with a badass grandma in her life.
I didn't quite love this as much as Dimple. It maybe wasn't edited quite as tightly. But I didn't care that much, since I was in and in and in.
Pass to readers who want something fun, something which is also funny, and a story about a girl who wants to make a name for herself in filmmaking and does so with the help of a boy who may or may not be right for her (...and who may indeed be brothers with the boy of her dreams). This is all about her talent, though; it's not about how he saves her. He's simply a collaborator and coconspirator.
