From Twinkle, with Love by Sandhya Menon
3.0

I think the subject matter of this is super fun- a young Indian girl trying to make her name as a filmmaker in a white mans field (aren’t they ALL though?). But the “drama” that she encounters is pretty superficial and somewhat boring to read. Like as a character she just got super annoying despite her desire to do something world-changing. Some kids may really enjoy seeing themselves in this and the drama may be more tolerable to a younger person (though I’ve read more contemporary lately and didn’t have this issue in other books), but this wasn’t for me.
