this book is the first few weeks of spring that smell like fresh new beginnings, the assurance that you can and will slowly adjust to changes (which may be for better or for worse you don't know what they'll be yet, but you know you'll get through them, just like you always do).

this book is the equivalent of a warm hug on a truly crappy day with the unrelenting rain hammering at your window panes and the chill seeping through your skin, under your veins, all the way down to the marrow of your bones. ONCE THE WATERWORKS STARTED, THERE WAS NO GOING BACK. ' a book about friendship, family, telling yourself and others the truth, facing your fears, and realizing that people are so much more than they seem upon first (or even second or third) impression.I BAWLED. 'FOOLISH HEARTS is a beautiful and honest story about love, friendship, forgiveness and acceptance, along with a clever parallel between the cast of FOOLISH HEARTS and the cast of Shakespearean masterpiece, A Midsummer Night’s Dream.' I will forever be looking for new books by her, no matter the genre!' Foolish Hearts is yet another masterpiece that adds to Mills's stellar reputation as a pillar in YA contemporary. There is a reason Mills keeps me coming back - or maybe many reasons. 'A lighthearted contemporary romance with lovable characters, theater nerds, gamers, boybands, meaningful friendships, and great family dynamics.' 'With the themes of Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream woven subtly throughout, Foolish Hearts is a detailed, convincing high school story about opening your heart to all kinds of love, and how to fight to preserve it.' “The characters are wonderfully fresh and honest The course of true love never did run smooth, but in the case of these two lovers, the journey is worth your while.” “Mills thoughtfully explores the nuances of all kinds of relationships, both friendly and romantic, via Claudia and her circle of friends Through these friendship struggles and romances old and new, Mills evokes the high stakes and vast rewards of trust, intimacy, and honesty.”
