A 2017 Must-Read: Foolish Hearts by Emma Mills

Review: Foolish Hearts by Emma Mills This book. THIS BOOK. This book made me want to hug it to my chest, sigh, and start all over again. Emma Mills has done it again with Foolish Hearts.

And yeah, like the rest of her covers, this one is UNBELIEVABLY pretty. I say again…I WILL […]
