Foolish Hearts by Emma Mills
5.0

There was a lot going on in this book, a lot of different interacting stories and a lot of different characters, and although I might not normally like that, it seemed to work for me.

The main character, Claudia goes to an all girls school that is situated right across a field from an all boys school. Claudia's brother, Alex, her best friend, Zoe, and her sister Julia and Julia's husband, Mark all play an online computer game similar to Dungeons and Dragons. Claudia has her people and keeps to herself in school. She has some acquaintances and gets along with pretty much everyone but doesn't really have any close friends at her school until a failed project causes her to join a play with the girl she can't stand to be around, Iris. The play is between both the all girls school and the all boys school. During the course of the play, Claudia branches outside of her little circle and finds friendships (and maybe even a little romance) in unlikely places. This book is about realizing what really matters and taking risks that might get you hurt but might also be the best choice you could have ever made.

Emma Mills is very quickly becoming one of my favorite authors, alongside Meg Cabot, Nicholas Sparks, and Sarah Dessen. There is just something about the simplicity of a cheesy teen romance, and this gave me everything I wanted. I would recommend this and Emma Mills's other two novels.
