Twinkle Mehra wants to be a filmmaker, but her ventures thus far have
been limited. When Sahil Roy, aspiring film critic, suggests that she
direct a film for her school's Midsummer festival, she agrees: not only
will this give her a chance to develop her art, but maybe it will bring
her closer to Sahil's crush-worthy twin brother Neil. As they work on
the project together, Twinkle can't deny that she has feelings for Sahil
-- but Neil could be her ticket into the popular clique at school, and
that's a dream she's not quite ready to give up -- especially since
she's been getting secret admirer emails from someone who signs his name
"N." When Twinkle starts power-tripping and her world begins to fall
apart as a result, will she be able to pick up the pieces and learn from
her mistakes?
I enjoyed this book even more than
When Dimple Met Rishi.
Sahil is adorkably sweet and almost too perfect. Twinkle goes through a
slightly over-the-top bout of self-centered nastiness in the middle of
the book, but pulls out of it in a way that redeemed the character for
me. If you like lighthearted realistic YA books, I'd recommend this one.
