An adorable title that reminds me of My Chemical Romance (awesome you should check it out btw) John Green meets Rainbow Rowell in Kim Sutherland's debut novel.

Synopsis: ⭐️⭐️⭐️
A story of first love, second love, and golden seams to see you back together. Henry Page has never been in love until he meets Grace, but is that even love? Henry Page is that typical cute by next door stereotype. Grace Town is a riddle in a mystery wrapped up in an enigma. She dresses bad, stinks, doesn't seem to have any care for personal hygiene. When Grace and Henry are both teamed up as editors of the school newspaper, Henry finds himself falling for Grace, yet he has no insight to her thoughts. She's hot one second and cold in another. (As in mood changes not like looks) As secrets unfold Henry realizes that sometimes, some things are just not meant to be.

The Feels:
This book is pretty cool and a lot like Eleanor and Park, except Rainbow Rowell got there first, and did it better. I feel pretty bad for Henry because he was infatuated with the idea of Grace. The image of Grace that wasn't her anymore and it's sad. Time has changed her and I don't think that Henry realized that. Grace would never be the same because of the accident, and no matter how much he believes so, he has no write (haha get it) to ask her to change back to the old Grace. I was very very impressed with the newspaper theme they finally managed to come up with. And I can totally relate with Lola on their wantonness. I have to say that Sadie is pretty hip (wait that is a word right) (and I used it properly right?) (lol I have no idea about current 'teen language' although I'm a teen. Eh whatever) and I love Henry's parents. They are cool. Also I get what Grace went through but also come on already! Like seriously stop
Stringing Henry along. It's not fair. Our Chemical Hearts was a good book except I was all along mentally comparing it to Eleanor and Park, which I know isn't fair but it couldn't be helped, and I just wasn't too fond of it.
