angiel 's review for:

From Twinkle, with Love by Sandhya Menon
4.0

I'm about 130 pages in so far. It's a cute story from the perspective of Twinkle, the main character. She is writing in her journal, which is how the book is laid out. there are texts and emails mixed in as well. I find this style of writing a little irritating but I'm not really sure why. Maybe because Twinkle's high school perspective is naive? I am not liking the fact that she has a goal to date a boy just to be popular. that is grating on my nerves. And she is upset about growing apart from her best friend (understandable) but she thinks being popular will solve that problem too. The high school mentality is strong with this book. I am hoping she "grows up" so I can leave a 4 star review.
Ok. I finished the book and yes, it was super sweet. Twinkle did "grow up" in a satisfying way. i have decided that Sahil is my favorite character. He is someone I would like to know in real life. I found quotes worthy of remembrance and made sure to mark them. I love finding memorable quotes. The ending of the book was redeeming from the "high school-ness" that was bothering me. I would recommend this book and I'm glad I read it.
