From Twinkle, With Love

by Sandhya Menon

Menon is a bright new talent' Bustle

The next heartwarming YA romcom from Sandhya Menon, bestselling author of When Dimple Met Rishi.

Aspiring filmmaker and wallflower Twinkle Mehra has stories to tell and universes to explore - if only the world would listen. So when nerdy classmate and fellow film-obsessive Sahil Roy approaches her to direct a film for the upcoming Summer Festival, Twinkle can't wait.

The chance to showcase her artistic voice? Dream come true.

The opportunity to get closer to longtime crush, Neil Roy-aka Sahil's twin brother? Dream come even truer.

When Twinkle receives an email from a secret admirer - the mysterious 'N' - she is sure it's Neil, finally ready for their happy ending.

The only problem is that, in the course of their movie-making, she has found herself falling for Sahil - the wrong brother.

Twinkle soon realises that resistance is futile: the romance she's got isn't the one she scripted...

But will it be enough?

'A celebration of artistic sensibilities and a fun romantic mystery' Entertainment Weekly

Overall, I enjoyed this. I liked the cultural perspective and the unique style of a story told through diary entries - kind of epistolary, which I always seem to enjoy. My one frustration was that the main character bugged me a bit. She just still had a bit of thag teenage self-absorbed, angsty attitude. I did enjoy that she grows through the novel and becomes aware of the way she is being basically super immature - it made for great character development. And I liked how the story ended for sure, it was sweet and the family aspect was heartwarming.
