From Twinkle, with Love
by Sandhya Menon
I loved this wonderful YA novel. It is written in letters to various female film makers and follows Twinkle as she makes her first film.
Twinkle views herself as a “groundling” and wants to be apart of the popular, “silk feathered hat,” group. As she makes her movie, she makes new friends and comes to learn more about herself.
There were some parts of the book where I felt incredibly frustrated with Twinkle’s thoughts and behaviors. But I had to remind myself that she is a teenage girl, and it’s incredibly normal. This book is not written for a 28-year old woman, though I totally enjoyed it.
I loved that Menon writes about Indian families. I enjoyed seeing how Twinkles parents came to the US to give her a better life. And I especially loved the relationship between Twinkle and her grandmother.
