Our Chemical Hearts
Our Chemical Hearts | Krystal Sutherland
John Hughes meets John Green in this irresistible story of first love, broken hearts, and the golden seams that put them back together again. Henry Page has never been in love. He fancies himself a hopeless romantic, but the slo-mo, heart palpitating, can't-eat-can't-sleep kind of love that he's been hoping for just hasn't been in the cards for him--at least not yet. Instead, he's been happy to focus on his grades, on getting into a semi-decentcollege and finally becoming editor of his school newspaper. Then Grace Town walks into his first period class on the third Tuesday of senior year and he knows everything's about to change. Grace isn't who Henry pictured as his dream girl--she walks with a cane, wears oversized boys' clothes, and rarely seems to shower. But when Grace and Henry are both chosen to edit the school paper, he quickly finds himself falling for her. It's obvious there's something broken about Grace, but it seems to make her even more beautiful to Henry, and he wants nothing more than to help her put the pieces back together again. And yet, this isn't your average story of boy meets girl. Krystal Sutherland's brilliant debut is equal parts wit and heartbreak, a potent reminder of the bittersweet bliss that is first love.

Although people might feel it's just a John Green ripoff, the book did make me laugh and feel for the characters. Although, yes the author did try to make the characters really quirky and maybe went a little overboard there yet the entire story is strangely endearing in a way and I know from personal experience the pain of heartbreak described is pretty accurate. So that was something I liked. It's pretty enjoyable. It has a movie too not as good.

I thought this would be a cute YA love story, but it really isn't. Instead, this is more of an unlove story, about Henry and Grace who come together and split apart like atoms. I really enjoyed this book. It made me think back to the teenage years of first crushes, first loves, heartbreak and redemption...of putting broken pieces back together, trying to hold on the best way we all know how.

This was a heartbreaking tale of bittersweet first love 💔 💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔
I loved the characters so much but the story was just so sad, a real tear jerker. I wanted to know what had happened to Grace to make her the way she was. My heart was so invested in this story of first love and now I really want to watch the movie to compare them both. A definite 5 ⭐️ from me.

⭐️4/5
Started off very John Green (which I don‘t think John Green even does well) but about half way through it switched and became a YAL romance story I couldn‘t put down. Still dislike most of the side characters for being eccentric for the hype, but the struggle and conflict the main characters have and face is a twist on typical YAL romance that puts it above the rest. Would recommend!

I didn't like this but I didn't hate it. I felt like the author was trying too hard. Overabundance of sarcasm and witty banter, sure, but lacking in growth and development of characters. The writing was mediocre, the story a plain and unmemorable fish swimming in the vast sea of contemporary.

Still reading this, just had a thought.
I love how in 'Our Chemical Hearts' Henry recognizes there are different versions of Grace. He not only recognizes this, but he accepts each version. He wants to spend time and get to know whichever Grace shows up. He's grateful for all of her...
I think we all have that. Different sides to us. Different versions for different days, different situations. How lovely is it to have a person accept each side?

Super cute little book, it‘s definitely different than other “love stories” but it was still a good read about a first love for Henry Page. I love that the author included the text messages and the cute little powerpoint, there‘s even a letter written on a typewriter and i love that they changed the font so it looked just like that. A pick for sure!

This book could ruin you. So much pain in it from basically all the important characters. It almost makes me wonder if love is even real or if we just make it up...

Just started this book and I am in love with it.

Very impressive debut novel. It is an engaging, captivating, moving, beautifully written very sad story. Realistically smart, adorkable and witty style. Quick but fulfilling, meaningful read.
This book did wonderfully in showcasing how experiences can change/shape your life and that people around you ought to be mindful of it.

But love is scientific, man. I mean, it's really just a chemical reaction in the brain. Sometimes that reaction lasts a lifetime, repeating itself over and over again. And sometimes it doesn't. Sometimes it goes supernova and then starts to fade. We're all just chemical hearts.

Low key weekend and I don‘t start classes until Wednesday. Diving into this one from @sunflowers so it works for my #MtTBR! It‘s a definite YA feeling weekend for me.
My mom in law is here to help as my husband has back surgery Tuesday. She‘s a reader too so it‘s great. She knows I always have books abound so she reads mine instead of packing too many 😄 she grabbed Glory Over Everything (which I‘m reading too) so I just grabbed this!

This book is a big NO. Sorry, the main character is a fucking idiot and a fucking selfish that does not care about Grace's depression. He loves her in her good days but he says how unfair the situation is for him in her bad days. And this is just an example. This book has been awful for me, sorry. I can't recommend it to anyone.

This book was not what I thought it would be. The back cover (ARC, so may be different now) tells a story of love between two unconventional people. Instead it's a story of grief, of depression, of losing yourself, that's emotional and thought-provoking and so well-written that I can't believe it's the author's debut novel. 4.5/5. #recommendsday

Starting into this one tonight! It's one of the books I picked up awhile ago but am just now starting into it, way later than intended 😰 I finally had a chance to unpack my books after my move and realized I haven't read most of the books that I have left after donating some and losing some others, and yet still have a decent sized collection.
