Like so much, so much, so much-each one punctuated by a kiss to a different place.”Ĭlaudia + Gideon + the kisses so cruelly alluded to in the last chapter - an epilogue of pure fluff for the cutest YA couple to ever do it. Gideon with his cheeks flushed and his eyes bright, close enough that he was blurry, saying I like you, you know. Not just the kiss in the hall outside the auditorium, but the ones in the parking lot afterward and at the cast party and on the street outside after the cast party. I could consider it for a lot of moments, if left unchecked.

and second and third and fourth I just love them.

Please read it so you can love her too.Bylamplight Fandoms: Foolish Hearts - Emma Mills

It also has Iris in it, who I love dearly.

It's cute and funny without ignoring reality and a perfect YA contemporary. It's beautiful and like a hug from your childhood best friend you haven't seen in a while. She was self sabotaging in an attempt to keep herself safe (I felt attacked), tried to do the right thing but wasn't some self righteous jerk about it and tried what her friends loved.Īt this point I feel like I'm just rambling so: READ THIS BOOK. Gideon was hilarious and soft and he and Noah worked so well together as a pair of BFFs. I seriously loved every secondary character in this book, SO much. I really liked how Claudia and Julia hung out and were there for one another despite the large age difference, and the way she and Alex were both Spoiler willing to change their relationships for each other, even if it took a bit of time. Personally I don't really play any MMORGs at the moment, but it reading Foolish Hearts made me want to. I loved the family aspect of the book too, having all three siblings play video games with each other (and her BFF, Zoe) was such a great way to have them interact with each other and the gamer in me was delighted. It was reminiscent of my teens, I knew a ton of people I didn't consider friends, and it's something that I feel gets left out of books a lot. I actually really enjoyed having a large cast of characters whom Claudia was acquainted with but didn't consider friends. There's a massive cast of characters for a YA contemp in my opinion, but Mills works with it so well and keeps a focus on the MC, Claudia, without overcrowding her. I had an arc of First and Then that I just never got to, but finally after literally years of telling me to read her I did.įoolish Hearts is one of the best YA contemporaries I've ever read, I loved everything about it.

I'm just going to come out and say it at the start of the review: I was a fool not to have picked Emma Mills up sooner.
