From Twinkle, with Love

High School Allie would have L-O-V-E loved this book, had it existed then. She would have identified so much with Twinkle as a 14- or 15-year-old, having unrequited crushes, loving the idea of secret admirers, feeling sad that her BFF wasn't hanging out with her anymore and feeling like high school was her last, best chance to change the world.

Present Day Allie laughed out loud at the idea of a magazine paying a dollar per word for a 1000-word article about being a filmmaker, especially to a teenager who has made one! movie! for a high-school festival.

I enjoyed the audiobook reader, but after about the halfway point, I really didn't like Twinkle that much anymore.
