Blurb from Goodreads:
Aspiring filmmaker and wallflower Twinkle has stories she wants to
tell and universes she wants 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 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?
My Review:
*I received an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.
Thanks to Hodder & Stoughton and NetGalley*
Twinkle loves films and dreams of being a famous director and someone
that people look up to. Someone very different from the current Twinkle
who is invisible and is losing her best friend, Maddie, to someone else.
When Sahil Roy, a classmate who shares Twinkle's love for films,
approaches Twinkle with the chance for her to direct a film for the
Summer Festival, she says yes. Twinkle hopes that directing the film
will be an opportunity to show people her talent, and that it will also
help her act on her longtime crush on Sahil's twin brother, Neil.
Then Twinkle starts receiving emails from a secret admirer called 'N',
someone she's sure has to be Neil.
But as Twinkle spends more time with Sahil she finds herself falling
for him instead.
Which brother is the right one for Twinkle?
Can Twinkle and Maddie's friendship go back to what it was before?
I enjoyed When Dimple Met Rishi so I was excited to read From
Twinkle, With Love.
Twinkle was a good protagonist. I felt sorry for her at times and I liked
that she wasn't perfect. She was relatable. I enjoyed reading about
Twinkle's relationship with her grandmother.
I liked Sahil and several of the other characters.
The romance was sweet and didn't feel forced. It didn't over-power the rest of the story.
I liked that the story was told by Twinkle writing letters to her favourite
female directors.
The plot was interesting but a little predictable. The writing style was
easy to follow but I wasn't gripped.
I am slightly disappointed that I didn't enjoy this more.
Overall this was an enjoyable read.
