From Twinkle, With Love by Sandhya Menon

From Twinkle, with Love

Aspiring filmmaker and wallflower Twinkle Mehra has stories she wants to tell and universes she wants to explore, if only the world would listen. So when fellow film geek Sahil Roy approaches her to direct a movie for the upcoming Summer Festival, Twinkle is all over it. The chance to publicly showcase her voice as a director? Dream come true. The fact that it gets her closer to her longtime crush, Neil Roy—a.k.a. Sahil’s twin brother? Dream come true x 2.

When mystery man “N” begins emailing her, Twinkle is sure it’s Neil, finally ready to begin their happily-ever-after. The only slightly inconvenient problem is that, in the course of movie-making, she’s fallen madly in love with the irresistibly adorkable Sahil.

Twinkle soon realizes that resistance is futile: The romance she’s got is not the one she’s scripted. But will it be enough?

Told through the letters Twinkle writes to her favorite female filmmakers, From Twinkle, with Love navigates big truths about friendship, family, and the unexpected places love can find you.

My Review: 5/5 Stars

Adorkable. Perfect word to describe this book. Adorable. Dorky. Cute. Smiles the whole way through. From Twinkle, With Love was such a fun book to read! And for a book that was told through letters, which I will admit when hearing that I hesitated to read it, it was done beautifully and I loved it even more for being written in letters and the occasional email or text. One of the most fun parts? Watching Twinkle and Sahil fall for one another while being their totally awkward, nerdy, occasionally clumsy, and adorable selves. Love them! This book was such a great read and it was more than just the romance that occurred. Twinkle is an aspiring filmmaker and thanks to Sahil, she finally gets to direct a movie for the upcoming festival. It's her chance to show everyone what she is made of and set herself up for the future. But it also shows the insecurities that comes with being a high schooler. Like losing your friends, finding new ones, falling in love for the first time, being a wallflower, and finding the confidence in yourself. I loved reading Twinkle's journey. Great book!
