Because it is. So damn funny. Like, too funny to keep from laughing out loud on public transit, staring at your phone while grinning like an idiot, kind of funny. If you saw me today, hi! Welcome, welcome. I have no shame. Trust me. You don't want to get mixed up in that. You know your reluctance to divulge information is only going to make us more inquisitive. Help the plot move a little faster and spill the bloody beans already.

Maybe in another time, in a different mood, I would've been frustrated or angry or sad for different reasons about how this story went about.

But instead it feels.. Real and raw and wretched it's an r-sound, it counts! View all 11 comments. Jul 25, Suzzie rated it it was amazing. This was one of the most beautiful books I have ever read! The story is a coming of age one that brings you on an emotional journey that will have you so engrossed in SO many emotions.

The dialogue in this book is some of the funniest exchanges! This is a short book so if you do not want a long drawn out read I highly recommend you pick it up. Was so good! View all 5 comments.

I loved the writing and the humor, but the whole 'trying to cancel out the manic pixie dream girl by calling her a manic pixie dream girl over and OVER' thing was too much.

Same thing with the racism. The main character calls out the racism Those two things really rubbed me This is the second book in a row that I've read that I thoroughly enjoyed, but still had a handful of problems with it.

Those two things really rubbed me the wrong way and took away from what I think was otherwise a phenomenal debut novel and an amazing insight into first love and love lost. Would have been 5 stars, but I'm taking off a star for each issue. Here's hoping I find her next book a little less problematic because this one had SO much potential.

For a few fleeting moments there was light and heat and pain, brighter than a galaxy, and in her wake she left nothing but darkness. But the death of stars provides the building blocks of life. Henry Page! Can we cry together? This review can also be found at Carole's Random Life.

I liked this book but have found that it is a rather tough one for me to rate. I was initially grabbed by the awesome cover and after reading the description, I just had to read it.

There were things that I really liked about it and other parts that just didn't do a lot for me. I have been wavering between 3 and 4 stars and have finally settled on a 4 star rating since it was a rather enjoyable read overall.

It was a really quick read that to This review can also be found at Carole's Random Life. It was a really quick read that took a few turns that I didn't expect. I loved the characters in this book. Henry was great. I loved him and his group of friends. His parents and sister were also quite amazing. I wasn't as sold on Grace.

From the beginning of the book, it was very obvious that Grace was keeping something major to herself so it is no wonder that her character was more of a mystery. I did enjoy the interactions between Henry and Grace when they were together. The main focus of this book is really solving the mystery that is Grace and Henry builds a relationship with her. Grace does have some tragedy in her past which is greatly impacting her present.

Henry is patient and tries to be there for Grace even though he wants to move forward and focus on a future with her.

For Henry, Grace becomes his total focus often to the detriment of other things in his life. In addition to being a story of first love, Henry learns a lot about himself, his family, and his friends over the course of the story. I would recommend this book to others.

I do think that this book is appropriate for older teens. There are some elements to the story that younger teens may not be ready for including drinking and sexual situations. This is the first book by Krystal Sutherland that I have read and I plan to look for her work in the future. I received an advance review copy of this book from G. Initial Thoughts I liked this one. It was a little different than I had expected with great characters.

This book was heartfelt, hilarious and left me slightly broken. It's such a great contemporary, with YA cliches, but used in an unique and meaningful way. I loved the main character Henry, my love , the friendships, and the subtle hints at feminism that randomly popped up.

But I think the main thing that stood out and mattered was how damaging unhealthy relationships can be, but how that also can lead to a journey of self discovery and healing. It was raw and needed.

Sep 08, Yna the Mood Reader rated it it was amazing Shelves: will-definitely-read-again. But love is scientific, man. I mean, it's really just a chemical reaction in the brain. And sometimes it doesn't. We're all just chemical hearts. Does that make love any less brilliant? I don't think so. I finally got to finish a book this month! September was such a hard reading month for me. But hopefully I'll get to squeeze in more reads. Our Chemical Hearts was a surprisingly good read for me.

Going in this book, I was expecting typical YA plotlines, especially since the blurb is similar to books published that time. Having finished this read, I can say that I somehow agree, but this fact does not make me love this book any less.

If you are looking for a hilarious yet heartfelt read, then this is the book for you. The book is funny, quite self-aware and self deprecating, but also so so sad. As Henry narrated the story of his senior life, I have felt a spectrum of crazy emotions and I felt a strong attachment to him and his friends. He was quite the naive idealistic hero that I just want to keep and protect.

Learning about her is quite frustrating because I feel sad for her yet hate her at the same time. I'm trying to find the right words to say how I feel while avoiding to spoil things.

This book might be one of the saddest books ever. It was realistic and has shaped grief in a way that has reminded me of the painful things I have went through personally. I have to commend the author for writing such an emotionally provoking novel.

The author was able to pull me in with the way she wrote the book. I loved all the metaphors scattered around the story. The best scene for me is when Henry and his sister were talking about love and heartbreak. All the lines were bittersweet yet they were all very beautiful. I also have to commend how Henry's friends made the story a little less sad and a lot more fun.

Plus, the pop culture references can made it lighter and more fun. There's so much more that I can rave about, but in finality, I can say, I would love to reread this in the future so I can annotate everything that I loved. Audiobook wise, I would love to commend the narrator. He did such an amazing job. He was a great actor and I love all the accents he did! It made the story even more heartbreaking. Our MC, seventeen-year-old Henry Page, is caught up in fascination, in lust and, soon enough, in love, when a mysterious girl named Grace Town transfers to his school senior year.

Grace has clearly been through a recent physical ordeal, based on her pronounced limp, and some sort of an emotional trauma, if her morose mood is anything to go by. Yet, Henry finds himself captivated, even when all signs suggest that falling for Grace would be an epically bad idea. Honestly, for me, it was more depressing than not. I wrongly assumed this would be some big sweeping YA romance, but very quickly I realised my mistake. In fact, I actively disliked Grace.

I never quite understood why Grace even bothered getting close to Henry in the first place. Murray is an Australian teen living in America but he was such a caricature of an Australian bogan than I—an Australian—was fairly offended by his stupid sayings and over-the-top behaviour.

Finding out this was written by a fellow Australian left me stumped as to why he would have been written so laughably. Just no. Initially, I wanted to give this a try because I saw there was a recent film adaptation released on Amazon Prime, and I like to read books before seeing their film versions where I can.

Oh, this is such a beautiful book. But then, oh my. This book is beautiful in a way like All the Bright Places is beautiful, but the book is still very different. I like the point of view, from the guy, but that did not felt like this is how a guy would feel and think, but rather how a female want a guy to think and feel and all. That point where this book grabbed me and touched me and made me cry yep , oh gosh.

The feels Oh, this is such a beautiful book. The feels. I love this book. I'm so conflicted. I do not know what I feel about this book. I definitely did not enjoy it wholeheartedly but I did appreciate some of what it did was trying to achieve. The ending was by far my favourite aspect of the story. It would have been so much more gut-wrenching and impacting if I had found the romance even remotely shippable before that… but I did not, unfortunately.

I found the portrayal of her mental illness incredibly problematic. I canno I'm so conflicted. I cannot believe that she was barely acknowledged as needing help, despite clearly suffering from PTSD.

It really bothered me that she was not only not receiving professional help but that everyone just ignored it. She was obviously in great distress and the fact that everyone just… let her be like that really bothered me.

Henry even fears for her safety at one point. I know that the situation is tricky but I would have loved to see him step up and a talk to her about it or b talk to an adult about it. He thought of her as being broken, as being not good for him pursue, and I just found that so, so problematic. On a more positive note, I will say that I adored Lola.

She was literally me the entire book. She told Henry whenever he was being idiotic to cut it out. She called him out for being a douche when he selfishly jeopardised her own grades by goofing about with Grace instead on working on the newspaper.

She was hella supportive and tried to piece everything back together for her friends because she is a saint. Most importantly, though? Life advise right there. It is just so me. It did not go overboard like I feared. It was nicely poetic and it definitely made me want to read more of her books in the future. I have no idea why it was not set in Australia. Is there a reason? This honestly has to be one of my least favourite tropes of all time!

As I'm wiping the tears from my cheeks, I'm trying to align all the things I'm feeling but man! This was such an amazing book! The writing style was beautiful but the story in itself was the star. It was just so good. Each character was developed profoundly and I loved everyone of them, with all their faults and merits.

I felt all the emotions these characters felt and lived as Henry through this story. The pain he felt, and yet his love for Grace, I understand it and I commend it. It is quite difficult to love someone who you know loves someone else. You beautiful broken soul. I hope you get the peace you deserve.

I'm so glad I read it! This was such a wonderfully often hilariously narrated YA contemporary that I did not expect to adore, but Henry was too honest not to love and his story made my heart swell.

You how tropes can run rampant to dominate a story? It's like Krystal Sutherland skipped up to each trope, acknowledged it with a high five, and then walked in another direction.

I loved her for doing that, it gave her book a backbone of hilarity and anticipation. These characters felt real to me; from Henry's n This was such a wonderfully often hilariously narrated YA contemporary that I did not expect to adore, but Henry was too honest not to love and his story made my heart swell.

These characters felt real to me; from Henry's narration, to Grace's bone-deep sadness, I was thoroughly invested. Great book, Our Chemical Hearts pdf is enough to raise the goose bumps alone.

Last Light by Alex Scarrow. Leaping Hearts by Jessica Bird. But here she was, giving up a small piece of him already. I wanted her to stop spending so much time with her dead boyfriend, lying on the grass above his decomposing corpse, crying tears that seeped into the earth to rest upon his coffin.

I had to resist the temptation, in that moment, to ask her if Dom and I were standing side by side, both whole, both alive, which one of us she would choose. Because I knew, still, that it would be him. For a long time, it would be him. Maybe always. And I felt the tear in my heart rip open a little bit more.
