From Twinkle, with Love
by Sandhya Menon
4.5 Stars!
I loved this book! I just read it in one day. It was so damn cute!!!! I honestly think I liked it more than When Dimple Met Rishi!
This book follows Twinkle (an Indian American main character) as she writes in her journal about her time at high school. Her best friend has ditched her for the cool kids, her crush has no idea she exists, she's starting to develop feelings for this brother, and she has a secret admirer who might just be her crush! On top of this she's finally living her dream and directing a movie and stepping out of the shadows.
This might sounds like a lot of plots going on, especially since it isn't an especially long book, but everything fit perfectly!
I loved Twinkle as a character. I could relate to her and was rooting for her to stand up for herself. I wanted her to tell Maddie off about being a shitty friend and to tell Hannah to go fuck herself to be honest. Then when she finally starts to stand up for herself she goes a tad bit far (I really didn't think it was that bad), but I fully understand why she does. She's been treated like trash for so long, she deserves to let it out. Honestly I wish she let Maddie have it more, and made her actually redeem herself. That was the one ending that didn't fully satisfy me.
Sahil was such a cute character!!! He was a sweetie and I loved when we got to see insights into his blog and text conversations! He was so into Twinkle for so long and I was so happy for him that he was finally getting the girl. And he was a genuinely good and understanding guy.
I enjoyed the insight we got into other characters as well, especially Twinkle's family.
I will say that the identity of 'N' was very obvious, but I was happy with that plot so I'm okay with it.
The one thing that annoyed me about this book was that basically the entire format was Twinkle's journal entries. I wish we got to see more moments and conversations instead of Twinkle just reflecting about them later.
Overall a great book and an adorable romance! If you're looking for some cutesy fluff I would definitely recommend this book!
