Our chemical hearts - Sutherland Crystal (9789669932204)

“I always thought that the moment when you meet the greatest love of your life should be like in a movie. Well, of course, not quite like in the movies, when everything slows down, hair flutters in the wind and the instrumental soundtrack swells. However, I thought there would at least be something, you know? My heart stops for a moment. Something knocks deep in your soul and says: “Holy cow. That's her. Finally, over a long period of time, it’s her.” This is the reasoning of 17-year-old teenager Henry Page, a senior student and editor-in-chief of the school newspaper, before whose eyes appears the peaceful, poorly dressed and still lame girl Grace, who transferred from another school. Her isolation, eccentricity and erudition surprise Henry, and with every attempt by the boy to make friends, the girl withdraws more and more and pushes him away from her. But the first feeling cannot be stopped. So Henry tries his best to be close to Grace, delving deeper into her secrets and learning the weirdness and emptiness of her world. Will this love be all-encompassing and will it overcome the ghosts and remorse that weigh on redemption over the girl’s dark past? You will learn all this from the book “Our Chemical Hearts” by Australian writer Crystal Sutherland.
