Foolish Hearts
by Emma Mills
When Claudia overhears Iris and Paige break up, Iris threatens to ruin her if any rumors spread. After being forced to work with Iris on a paper that turns into an awful monstrosity, their teacher requires them to make it up by auditioning and working for the school play, A Midsummer Night's Dream. A prickly start turns into genuine friendship as the play progresses and Claudia meets several new friends along the way.
Overall, this was a super cute book. It was so easy to get sucked into the story and the pages flew by for the most part! However, there were two things that bothered me. 1: the amount of times the word "just" was used when any character was speaking. It was incredibly overused and I was getting very frustrated with it. 2: Claudia and her overwhelming need to internalize everything even when said thing wasn't true. Part of this book focuses on relationships: both platonic and romantic. But Claudia freaked out about so many things that weren't even a big deal or about her!! So I really needed her to chill.
My favorite part of this was Iris and Claudia's friendship. I loved how snarky Iris was and yeah she was definitely mean at times, but I could totally relate to her. Sometimes sharp words are easier than letting people in. I loved how they bonded over TION, it was so cute.
I did love Gideon Prewitt as well. He was such a fun character and he almost always brightened up any scene he was in. While I didn't have any issues with him, Claudia was slowly driving me insane by twisting his words and clearly misinterpreting his signals. I really wanted to shake the girl at times. Anyway, they were still adorable and I do ship them.
This was a great love story to theatre and Shakespeare. While I think [b:If We Were Villains|30319086|If We Were Villains|M.L.

I definitely laughed out loud several times. I'm glad I finally read this!
