My Foolish Heart

My Foolish Heart is the story of small-town girl Isadora who spends her nights as Miss Foolish Heart, the host of a syndicated talk radio show.  While her neighbors and friends in her town have no idea Issy is the host of the famous talk show, viewers tune in to hear her advice on dating, searching for the perfect man, and falling in love.  If the truth were to be known- that she's never really done any of those things- Isadora's talk show ratings might plummet.  But her ratings actually soar when she seems to be falling in love on air with a caller- one that she doesn't realize lives right next door to her.

Caleb served a tour of duty in Iraq, paying a high price when he was injured.  He moves to a small town hoping to avoid pity while he hides his disability.  He aims to land his dream job as the high school football coach.  When his pretty neighbor catches his eye, he makes a brash decision to call into the radio show My Foolish Heart, searching for help.  Soon he finds himself confused: is he falling for his neighbor or in fact, Miss Foolish Heart?

This was a cute story written by Susan May Warren.  I finished it rather quickly, as the story was well-written and a fun read.  Even though the overall tone of the book was light, there definitely was some heavier themes- including PTSD and death- addressed throughout the pages.  For the most part, the author was aware of these issues and addressed them appropriately.  Warren also did a really good job of developing the secondary characters of the story and weaved the four main characters' lives together beautifully.  I recommend this short read if you want to experience the gamut of emotions but still feel as through you've unwound with a good book.
