BOOK REVIEW: FOOLISH HEARTS BY EMMA MILLS
nothing emma mills writes could ever disappoint me
idk how to articulate the reasons why this book felt like when youre walking outside in the cold but then you hit a patch of sunlight and stop to bask in its warmth for a moment bc damn its like mother nature herself decided to momentarily give you a warm hug when you needed it most on your unforgiving treacherous walk to class
I just love Emma Mills's books. so much. so so much. First of all, I love YA contemporaries because at their heart, they're all about character. So many books I read are so embellished with convoluted plots and ostentatious writing that the characters end up barely recognizable. Emma Mills, though, is so ridiculously, undeniably talented at writing characters. Part of that is because she intuitively just getshow to write dialogue—it's always realistic, organic, funny, believable. And Foolish Hearts is no exception to this. The fact that I'm able to review this book in JULY even though I read it in January should tell you how much its characters have stayed in my mind. I absolutely adored Claudia and Gideon (omg he was the cutest) and Iris. I'm basically gonna be using every superlative in the book to describe my love for this book: I absolutely, totally, completely, wholeheartedly loved everything about it. Also, Emma Mills's books are hilarious. They're pretty much the only contemporaries out there that have made me actually laugh out loud, A LOT. I wish this review was better or more specific or something, but I don't really wanna be technical about Foolish Hearts. I just want to get across how freaking much I loved it, and how I have loved (and will love) anything that Emma Mills could ever write.
Yeah. Go do yourself a favour and read Foolish Hearts, and then after that all of Emma Mills's entire body of work.
