So…. I loved this book. I literally hugged it after I was done. It was such a good story. The main character was a genuinely good person. And she brought out the best in everyone around her. She gave great advice and made friend even with the worst of people. But when it came to herself, she always sold herself short. She gave 110% to everyone around her and so little to her own feelings. This awesome and handsome guy who was so obviously into her throughout the whole book began showing her in so many way how much he liked her and she just completely blew it off because… she thinks so little of herself. Anywho, the book surrounds around her finding herself and her self worth. Also all the great things she learned along the way. I loved this book. Such an awesome read!

really cute read with many cute moments. the book is littered with all types of love, friendship, familial and romantic.

Iris you are the princess of my heart!

"experiencing something so many times you can just.. live in it" (story of my life)
"when I'm with you, I can just.. exist" now Claudia didn't see this as romantic, because of the things she went through but personally this is the most romantic thing you could ever say to someone. Being so comfortable that you don't even have to try and you can simply stay still. that's love.

cranked this book out in 3 hours. one sitting. devoured. i was happy! i was sad! i laughed! i wanted to cry all the time for literally no reason!

i needed a ya contemporary book to hit home and this book delivered. it took me a little bit to warm up to it but once i did it felt like a warm hug. this book is meant to be read in one sitting in my eyes

I BAWLED. I AM STILL BAWLING. ONCE THE WATERWORKS STARTED, THERE WAS NO GOING BACK. this book is the equivalent of a warm hug on a truly crappy day with the unrelenting rain hammering at your window panes and the chill seeping through your skin, under your veins, all the way down to the marrow of your bones. this book is the first few weeks of spring that smell like fresh new beginnings, the assurance that you can and will slowly adjust to changes (which may be for better or for worse; you don't know what they'll be yet, but you know you'll get through them, just like you always do). this book is everything that i needed but never knew i did, and just like TION (kenji!) filled a void in iris's life, this book filled mine with laughter and delight and smirks at all the claudiagideon shipping and hinting throughout this whole book and the found family trope and all the oh-so-lovable-and-equally-GENUINE characters. this book will remind you that hey, the world is scary! the world is unfair and miserable and awful! and bad things happen (to good people too) sometimes! but this book (and claudiagideon and irispaige and zoealex and everybody else!) exists!! and you are never alone! and if you're having a bad day, this book will always be here for you (and so will i, talk to me if u need to!)!! with that said, reading this has cemented my belief that friendship is magic (AND SO IS CLAUDIAGIDEON.) this entire novel was written so well and everything tied up together really nicely, and i enjoyed it so extremely much. if i had to describe how foolish hearts made me feel, i'd say (iris quote very much intended) it could be summed up with: f*cking. incandescent. and now i'm feeling extremely superfluous (now that's an SAT word!!!) with this lengthy review (which some might say is fifty percent longer than a subway sub and definitely very jam-packed with foolish hearts references so just go ahead and pick it up already) so it's time to wrap it up! clearly this is a new favourite and a fab choice to start the month with, 1038u4983248932423/10, highest of highliest highlies recommend and would most certainly read again

reread #1: I JUST COULDN'T RESIST GAWD I MISSED THEM SO MUCHA. ALSO BAWLED AGAIN #JUSTCLAUDIAGIDEONTHINGS
