funny lighthearted medium-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? Yes
  • Loveable characters? Yes
  • Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

There isn't a word that could capture how much I love this book. Theatre, gaming, boy bands, great family relationships, great friendships and a great romance? This book was quite literally a gift, and thank you SO much, Emma Mills, for sharing such an amazing story. This book was sweet, it was fluffy, it was beautiful and I fell in love with every single character. I've been on a high after finishing this book all day and I wish I could go to a party with Claudia, Iris and Gideon. The development and pacing was so satisfying and I could spend hours gushing about this, but instead I'll summarize: Read. This. Book. It's such a fun, light read, I promise you'll love it.

I was ready to love whatever Emma Mills served up next, but this was good, not great. I struggled to understand what was special about Gideon and Claudia together. Some good friendship stuff here: Iris is perfectly unlikable but likable as you get to know her and it’s fun to see Claudia come into her own as the play progresses.

Adorable. I don't typically read contemporary but it came in my owlcrate and they usually make good choices.

Foolish hearts follows Claudia as she navigates through her life in an all girls private school. She doesn't quite feel she fits in but when she's forced to do a school play she finds love and friendship come in many forms.


This book was so sweet. It had a very diverse cast of characters that made you fall in love with each of them individually. I have never identified, personally, with a character as I much as I did with Julia.

I just freaking love this cute, funny, fluffy and sweet contemporary so so so much. More than I thought I would, actually. I thought I'm done with contemporary for a while because I'm so much in the mood for fantasy for the past few days, but I'm glad I did loved this.

I admire all the relationship in this story so much. Alex and Zoe. Iris and Paige. And mostly Claudia and our goofy Gideon. I just loved how they make me so happy and contented reading their story. I never had a contemporary read like this before, to be honest. I mean a very light yet still managed to make me feel so happy and contented, with all the ridiculously wide smile on my face the whole time. I loved being crazy about this. I hope I can find and read something that will make me feel this exact same feelings again in my next read. It reminded me so much of my innocent teenage days.

PS. I FREAKING WANT A GIDEON PREWITT FOR MYSELF, PLEASEEEE!!!
