From Twinkle, with Love by Sandhya MenonMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
I'll give this one a 3.5 but it gets bumped up for representation points. I love books with Indian-American kids, casually untranslated bits of Hindi, parents who don't knock or talk about their feelings, calling other Indian adults Uncle & Auntie...etc. I never claimed to be unbiased!
Past that, this is just a fun high school story with some classic drama and some modern feminism peppered in. I did love the characters, but it wasn't as in-depth as Dimple & Rishi (definitely aged down a little). But sometimes you just need an easy read with a nice happy ending!
