Foolish Hearts by Emma Mills
3.0
This book was really cute. It wasn’t anything super groundbreaking, and the plot didn’t compete with some of the other books I’ve read lately (ahem, Beartown), however I still liked how romanticized everything in this story was.
I loved Iris and Paige’s story of how they got together: The started out as best friends, and were often accused of liking each other as more than that. Iris actually did like Paige in that way, but denied it strongly whenever she was accused of having a crush. They grew apart because of this rejection. Later Iris finds out that Paige does like girls, and the Paige liked her in that way as well. Suddenly, they were the new it couple at school.
This story reminded me of a certain couple of boys at my school, which made me give this book one extra star.
Other than that this book was a basic rom-com. Gideon, of course, was the perfect Peter Kavinsky-esque guy. Claudia was shy but made new friends. And the background of a Shakespeare play was the cherry on top to a cliche story.
