Publisher Description
'There's something irresistible about Sandhya Menon's novels - the romances are sweet and winning, the humor is cheerful and sly, and the families are warm and complicated' Stephanie Perkins
__________________________________________
Aspiring filmmaker and wallflower Twinkle has stories to tell - if only the world would listen. So when nerdy classmate and fellow film-obsessive Sahil 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 opportunity to get closer to longtime crush, Neil - 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 is not the one she scripted... But will it have a happy ever after anyway?

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Sixteen-year-old Twinkle Mehra fantasizes about becoming a successful filmmaker, but that doesn't mean she doesn't have regular teenage problems: she's in love with a boy named Neil, who barely knows she exists; her best friend, Maddie, is acting strangely toward her; and her crush's twin brother, Sahil (also an aspiring filmmaker), is paying her a lot of attention. After Sahil convinces Twinkle to collaborate on a documentary film project, she starts receiving emails from an admirer, who signs his letters N, and Twinkle hopes it's Neil. Then Twinkle starts to fall for Sahil, she grows confused about her admirer, and her relationship with Maddie goes off the rails. Menon brings an effervescent energy to Twinkle's story, which is reminiscent in tone to Menon's When Dimple Met Rishi.The story is told, in part, through Twinkle's confessional letters to famous filmmakers that serve effectively as diary entries. Mehra's story line and characters lack a degree of cohesion, and the story's epistolary content isn't always well integrated. Nevertheless, Twinkle's relationship with Sahil is sweet and believable, while the heart of this story hangs on Twinkle's conflict with Maddie, and the pain she feels when Maddie drops her for the popular girls. Twinkle's relatable quandaries and her worthy professional aspirations give Menon's heroine solid appeal. Ages 12 up.
