Chemical Hearts

【初戀之所以美好，在於那箇中滋味你永遠不會忘記】

Henry是一個正值青春年華卻完全沒談過戀愛的少年，從小立志成為一位作家的他，在高中那年被選為校內報紙的編輯，也因此認識了班上的轉學生，患有殘疾且拄著拐杖的Grace。他無可自拔地愛上了她，而她則深深的依賴著他，但隨著兩人的相識，許多事情也漸漸的浮上了檯面。

本書涉及失落、悲傷、接受與救贖，這並不單純只是一個男孩愛上女孩的一般愛情故事，作者Krystal Sutherland用一千種不同的方式描述了這些情感，層層堆疊，帶出一個充滿力量且引人入勝的初戀情誼。

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-decent college 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.
