chloesbookclub: Thrilled to reveal our June pick for #chloesbookclub! This month we’re reading from #FromTwinkleWithLove by @sandhyamenonbooks — and we cannot get enough of this story’s strong female lead (👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼). Through a series of letters to famous female directors, aspiring filmmaker Twinkle Mehra navigates big truths about friendship, family and the unexpected places love can find you. It’s a funny, sweet, #relatable rom-com — and we can’t wait to hear what you think! ✨

RECAP: This book is about about speaking your mind even if your voice shakes. It's about letting your life path unfold in front of you, rather than attempting to plan every single moment. Its about being unapologetically you, and all the life lessons that come from doing just that. But most of all, it's about needing to be seen not just as the person you are now—but as the person you hope to become. ✨

CHLOE’S COMMENTARY: “There are so many different things I *loved* about From Twinkle, With Love. From how fiercely feminist Twinkle is to the lessons on popularity and fitting in, I found myself yelling “Me!!!” at the turn of almost every page. But what struck me most about this story is the strong bond between Twinkle and her BFF. The two have been best friends for years, but after Maddie starts hanging with a more popular crowd, Twinkle feels abandoned and hurt—and that's a feeling I know all too well.” —@chloelukasiak
