Our Chemical Hearts is such a lovely story, I don't know if its just me and come country pride but I feel like all the aussie authors really put such important themes in their contemporaries. I was expecting a fluffy light book, and while this is fun and hilarious it also dealt with grief, first love, expectations of adults and society, general teenage mishaps, and growth. 
 Henry is an amazing narrator and protagonist a writer, an achiever, an all round good kid who is infatuated with Grace. 
 "We must all face the choice between what is right and what is easy, Grace. Reading Harry Potter is what is right." 
 Grace has depression, a limp, ptsd when driving, she doesn't write anymore and has never seen Harry Potter but loves Star Wars. 
 Grace is not who she once was, wearing boys clothes, not bothering to brush her hair some days, just in general not caring, and needing to walk with a cane is all what makes her an interesting person to Henry but once he finds her old facebook, photos of beautiful blond hair and in stylish outfits Henry quickly realises that this is a new Grace then what she once was. 
 "something can only be shattered so many times before it becomes irreparable, just as a piece of paper can only be folded so many times before it cannot be folded any more." 
 Our Chemical Hearts is about two teens figuring out who they are, realising that love is a disaster sometimes and other times your just not ready for it. 
 I absolutely adored the ending, I loved the all in and Henry's sister (I loved all his family). I think my main reason why I didn't fall in love with the story is I did dnf this for new releases and when I picked it back up it just didn't impress me as much as I was hoping. 
 I'd like to give this a 4 but I just didn't love it that much, 3.5 :D
