My rating: 3 of 5 stars
Cheesy. So cheesy. But cute, definitely a YA rom-com that the youth would enjoy. There is the typical love triangle that seems to define all YA romances, but on top of that are some fun allusions to movies, mostly Bollywood. While I've never watched a Bollywood film, it would be fun to watch one to appreciate some of the references, but it wasn't necessary, as Ms. Sharma had excellent descriptions. The premise of the film festival being the most talked about event in the school seemed far fetched, and the evil villain at the end seemed to wrap up very quickly and behind the scenes, but for the most part it was all good. I didn't agree with why Winnie was so mad at Dave at the end, but maybe that's just my age showing.
