The story follows a simple set-up: a college love story. This is why I think Fools is really an easy recommendation to any age group! Although the fluff and joy that I've experienced when I was younger versus now felt a little different, both still provided the same enjoyment.

a tangy fizzy carbonated drink, but now it tasted like a caramel cake that has a profound sweetness. Reading Fools now versus back then felt a little different since I've gotten a little older. Now, I decided to rekindle with Fools and finally finish it. However, during the time I wasn't reading it, I could still remember scenes from Fools from time to time as if it was embedded in my memory. After reading the few chapters that were published every week, somewhere along the line, things got busy and I ended up not picking Fools again. Jealousy starts to set in when Penny starts to have less time for him because of her club and when she starts hanging out more with Blake.I have encountered Fools a few years ago near when it was just published. They have their first kiss with each other. He starts dating Penny, and he lets her cut his hair. He is usually very shy, only speaking to organize environmental clean-ups. He is particularly knowledgeable when it comes to birds he can identify any song or appearance. His parents are hippies, and his hair is long enough to reach his shoulders and cover his eyes. Orion A fifteen-year-old environmentalist who tries to organize his classmates into planting trees and picking up trash. She feels Penny is stealing the attention from her. Unlike Penny, she is fixated on designer clothes. She is the best student in her class, has been in fifteen commercials, and models. She rarely sees her parents except when she has a performance in something. Hannah An outgoing, vain sixteen-year-old. He does not realize that his desire to perfect people around him makes him seem conceited and mean. His biography on Tokyopop's website describes him as "borderline OCD" and a "nerd," albeit handsome. He goes around town at night with a stencil and spray paints signs, correcting grammar.

He is a perfectionist, particularly when it comes to grammar. Blake A rich sixteen-year-old whose parents moved into Colorado's mountains. Katie has to move in volume one, but she and Penny keep in touch. Katie's relationships were the springboard for the founding of the club.

Katie A sixteen-year-old who is much less fashion conscious than Penny. Penny finds it hard to meet his expectations. He is an ER doctor who thinks fashion design is a frivolous occupation and wants his daughter to focus on studies more. Her relationship with Penny could best be described as sisterly. Nicole is a fashion designer who runs a costume shop. Nicole Penny's childish, 26-year-old aunt. Penny regards her looks as art, not necessarily the means of attracting boys or outdoing other girls. She is confident and likable, but she considers Katie her only friend. The new arrangements are shaken when Penny finds herself falling for a pyrite and Hannah shows a boy the club's flyer.Ĭharacters Penny A 15-year-old girl who designs clothes with her aunt, Nicole. Penny finds herself as a sort of "queen bee" the other girls look up to. Girls begin to avoid jocks and date nerds. The club completely changes the high school hierarchy.

Girls also call to attention boys that are not jerks. If a boy is declared a pyrite, the girls throw darts into a doll, similar to voodoo. At the club meeting, which are disguised as geology discussions, girls vote on which boys to decree " pyrites." The word becomes slang for a boy that seems good, but is ultimately cheap. Penny is a sophomore who starts a girls-only club whose mission is to help girls find love in gentlemen, rather than the school's jerks.
