Our Chemical Hearts by Krystal Sutherland

Henry Page has never been in love—until Grace Town arrives at school, mysterious and guarded, hiding secrets beneath her quiet exterior. Assigned to co-edit the school newspaper together, Henry is drawn into a romance far messier and more real than anything he imagined. This debut novel blends humor and heartbreak to explore first love honestly, without a tidy happy ending. It celebrates friendship, emotional healing, and the painful lessons that shape us. Perfect for fans of John Green and Jenny Han who enjoy emotionally rich YA stories that feel authentic rather than idealized.
