“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.”

This was a cute YA contemporary romance. I enjoyed it and read it very quickly. This should appeal to YA contemporary romance fans.

The story is about a girl who is really into film making and gets talked into making a film for a school festival. Along the way many social and romantic antics ensue. The book also has some coming of age themes about getting to know yourself and getting comfortable with who you are.

This was a super easy read, I read it in one sitting. The characters were fun and lovable.

Overall this was a well done feel-good YA contemporary romance. It was fun and easy to read and a great light diversion. I would recommend to fans of YA contemporary romance. If you enjoy books by Stephanie Perkins, Jennifer E. Smith, or Simone Elkeles you will probably enjoy this book.
