Foolish Hearts

"This was such a cute book, it just made me happy. "

"My feeelings they're all so cute. Btw everything I'm gonna say here is gonna be useless for someone who is considering whether to read the book and spoilery. Be warned. <br/><br/>I had initially considered reading this after reading Lucky Caller last year and kind of adoring it (I loved the way their childhood games of pretend were such a part of the plot), but I ended up choosing Famous in a Small Town instead and this one was saved for some time in the future. This might be better than both of them. I was looking for books today where the male lead is kind of a "class clown" and this book came up. I suspect I've always liked the idea of the goofball because of how absolutely passive and unemotive I am. Like put me in a room with someone similarly closed off and we may never even speak lol (ok I know this isn't a good thing and also I'm exaggerating but still people who try way too hard are just easier to be around sorry). All that said Gideon is adorable. Claudia rejecting him hurt me like how could you hurt this boy for no reason (which yes this happens all the time in YA and always makes my gut twist and I usually kind of live for the drama but it's actually been a while). But I also love everything involving Iris so much and when at the end Alex said "I would kick a thousand Spooky Trees for you" and Zoe and Julia and Battle Quest and the Horsenfeld Shuffle and Iris' TION fandom and the play/costumes and even the prep school setting with the two campuses with a strip of woods between them is kind of cool and when Lena understood Shakespeare. This book is just so wonderfully loveable and I had to express that."

"iris huang is now my favourite book character ever and should be protected at all costs."
