Our Chemical Hearts
Author: Krystal Sutherland
Publisher: G.P. Putnam's Books for Young Readers
Synopsis:
Henry Page has never fallen in love. He's just never met "the one."
When Grace Town, a new girl, who walks with a cane and wears oversized men's clothing, walks in ten minutes late to their drama class, there is no tug at his soul. He simply continues with class.
When he and Grace become the editors of the school newspaper, he is instantly drawn to her. As they end up spending more and more time together, Henry realizes this relationship is (to quote Taylor Swift) going to be forever or going to go down in flames.

My thoughts:
I thought that overall the plotline was okay and the writing style was good, but I didn't really like the characters. Grace seemed manipulative and uncaring (at least about Henry), and Henry himself seemed naive and didn't see any of Grace's flaws. And the only reason Henry noticed Grace was because she was mysterious. I feel like in a lot of YA the problem that makes the romance fall apart is the fact that one of the people wasn't in love with the other as a person, just an idea that they had of the person in their head. This was true in this book.
I did find it interesting to read about Grace's different view of the world however.
Rating: 3 out of 5 stars.
