Ohh Twinkle changed a lot throughout the book. She is sometimes blind to her own flaws and when she is wrong. At one point I can’t stand Twinkle, but she comes back into the light.

At the beginning of the book twinkle really annoyed me but she had grown on me a lot by the end. Sahil is is my favourite character in the sandya menon book universe. They’re relationship was good , they had a hard time getting there but they did end up together which was awesome. Skid and Arron were interesting and I think I would have preferred the book from sahils point of view so we could have seen more of them and less of maddie.
Victoria was a sweetheart and I wouldn’t mind reading a book with her as the POV character.
Twinkles family were very real in a way the parents In menons other books weren’t . They didn’t seem sugar coated. I cried when we found out about twinkles nan who could never visit but really loved her and I cried again when twinkle told her mum she would get to go home.
I didn’t love the beginning but I really liked the rest

DNF on pg 29. I swear I don’t usually not finish books this much, I think I’m just becoming less tolerant as I get older.
While I don’t have much experience to go off, I generally get turned off by books written in a diary style just because I worry that they’re going to come off as childish. And yes, that same attitude carried over here: even though Twinkle is 16, she acts like she’s still in middle school and super upset about her BFF getting matching charm bracelets with other people or whatever the hell. Perhaps if I was younger I would enjoy this book or relate to it more, I would feel differently about it, but I’m too far removed from this phase of my life to enjoy it.
Sucks how I loved When Dimple Met Rishi so much and couldn’t stand this!

Eh. I liked some parts of this and didn’t like others. The battle with her best friend made me nuts. A cute story though.

What I have come to expect of this author, lovable characters that grow and develop. Was a pleasure to read and you are rooting hard for Twinkle the whole time.

Read for Owlcrateathon 2021. This was the oldest Owlcrate book still on my tbr. It's from 2018, which gives you an idea of the state of my tbr. The book was entertaining and cute, but the tone seemed more like a middle grade.

So. Damn. Cute. I loved this. While I did have issues with Twinkle's actions at some points as well as with the writing, I still understood her actions and they were totally believable. They just weren't my fav to read about. But another reason why I loved this was because I saw SO much of myself in this book and in Twinkle's character and her life and just loved that aspect of the book.
