From Twinkle, with Love
by Sandhya Menon
This is far from perfect or even a very well executed book, but I still quite enjoyed it for its silly, tropey romance and its casual diversity (shout out to the black gay guy who calls out toxic masculinity and has a bi boyfriend, as well as Indian American and Japanese American main characters). I also appreciated how Menon allows Twinkle to make lots of mistakes. I do have a quibble, which is the same thing I had with her first book, which also has a main female character who has a super strong interest in something (in this case, filmmaking) and the novel never actually really shows her doing it. Considering the love story takes place over the course of Twinkle and adorable Sahil making a movie together, it's kind of weird. Like, does the author just not know enough to add realistic details?? Dimple never did any coding in the book set in coding camp and this seems to be the same problem?
