Our Chemical Hearts, is both a love story but at the same time not. Henry Page, is a romantic film nerd, never had a crush on anyone... Until he meets Grace Town. Grace is an unhappy girl who walks with a cane after an accident crushed her leg.
It isn't until Grace turns down writing for the school paper that Henry really notices her... Her unwashed hair, the too large mans clothes that she wears, but there's something different about her. Something that makes Henry fall in love with her.
But like I said it's not exactly a love story. Henry's love is one way and will never be enough to fix Grace Jones. To make her who she was before her accident.
Henry is naive about how you can't just fix a person by loving them.
This book has many ups and downs and turns that Henry wouldn't make it without the help of his two best friends - the Australian Murray and the biracial, tiny, lesbian next door, Lola.
Their story will leave you emotional, frustrate, happy and sad, all at the same time. This is a tale of first loves and heartbreaks, of friendship and trust. Of accepting someone for who they are, even if it doesn't give you the happiness you wanted.
