kxiang 's review for:
Foolish Hearts
by Emma Mills
this was a pretty standard YA contemporary book, it kinda just seems like they all follow the same formula:
1. main character has only one friend.
2. meets love interest [optional: makes new friend(s)].
3. main character suddenly screws up and suddenly everyone hates them and the whole world is ending.
5. something “tragic” happens and everyone reunited and is happy again and tragic thing turns out not to be so tragic because it all works out.
it’s a solid formula, but it’s also very predictable and boring. i feel like there are better ways to make a plot interesting without having entire friend groups/family members turn on each other then have them all make up in the end without consequences.
also i didn’t care for the love interest it was like the author was trying too hard to make him likable and he was just so one dimensional. i would’ve been a lot more interested in Iris and Paige’s love story and maybe exploring Iris’ feelings of neglect from her family because they were just never mentioned and it seemed like there was a hint at it, but it never really went any deeper than that.
