“When Claudia accidentally eavesdrops on the epic breakup of Paige and Iris, the it-couple at her school, she finds herself in hot water with prickly, difficult Iris. Thrown together against their will in the class production of A Midsummer Night’s Dream, along with the goofiest, cutest boy Claudia has ever known, Iris and Claudia are in for an eye-opening senior year.

Smart, funny, and thoroughly, wonderfully flawed, Claudia navigates a world of intense friendships and tentative romance in Emma Mills’s Follish Hearts, a young adult novel about expanding your horizons, allowing yourself to be vulnerable, and accepting―and loving―people for who they really are.”

I got this from an OwlCrate. This was a cute and quick YA contemporary romance read.

Unfortunately for this book I just read Eliza and her Monsters last week and I didn’t like this book nearly as much as Eliza and her Monsters. The writing doesn’t flow as well as that book and I just didn’t find the whole tangle of teen issues to be all that engaging or interesting.

The above being said, this wasn’t a bad read; it was just a very average YA Contemporary romance. I did like some of the parts where the characters were playing the MMORPG together and thought that it was interesting how this tied into the story.

Overall this was an okay YA contemporary romance. I didn’t love it but I didn’t hate it either; it was just kind of “eh”.
