Have you ever read a book and thought, damn, I wish I had written that! That is how I feel about Our Chemical Hearts. Krystal Sutherland has done an amazing job creating the world of Henry Page, a teen who falls in love for the first time with the mysterious Grace Town. Henry learns the hard way that love doesn’t run smooth, and that his idea of love was just that, an idea. So what is this he’s feeling? A burning passion? A desire? An addiction? True love? Or simply lust? Henry comes to learn that feelings and love are complicated, and not all broken things can be fixed.
I think its simply the way that Sutherland first introduces Grace, and how she was introduced as an 'average height with an average build and average attractiveness' shows us that there is really nothing special about her but she somehow completely catches the attention of Henry.
