It’s a fine book, and I think contemporary YA fans will enjoy it, but there’s also nothing particularly new here. The characters experience some generic hiccups in their relationships that they overcome, and that’s the gist of it. I wish I could be more specific than that, that I could point about something unique the story brings to the table while discussing these broad themes…but, honestly, nothing comes to mind. Smart, funny, and thoroughly, wonderfully flawed, Claudia navigates a world of intense friendships and tentative romance in Foolish Hearts, a YA novel about expanding your horizons, allowing yourself to be vulnerable, and accepting–and loving–people for who they really are.įoolish Hearts by Emma Mills is a quick contemporary read about friendship and romance. Thrown together against their will in the class production of A Midsummer Night’s Dream, along with the goofiest, cutest boy Claudia has ever known, Iris and Claudia are in for an eye-opening senior year. When Claudia accidentally eavesdrops on the epic breakup of Paige and Iris, the it-couple at her school, she finds herself in hot water with prickly, difficult Iris.

He always freezes for a second before taking his next steps, and that lapse in reaction time is always enough for that sick, familiar feeling of fear to settle into the pit of Gideon’s stomach.A contemporary young adult novel by Emma Mills about a girl whose high school production of A Midsummer Night’s Dream leads her to new friends–and maybe even new love.

Gideon with his cheeks flushed and his eyes bright, close enough that he was blurry, saying I like you, you know. Not just the kiss in the hall outside the auditorium, but the ones in the parking lot afterward and at the cast party and on the street outside after the cast party. I could consider it for a lot of moments, if left unchecked. and second and third and fourth I just love them.Bylamplight Fandoms: Foolish Hearts - Emma Mills
