Praise for Our Chemical Hearts Indies Introduce Summer 2016 Pick Autumn 2016 Kids' Indie Next List - Inspired Recommendations for Kids from Indie Booksellers The most romantic read of the season is an arguably anti-YA story... It's the complex chemistry between Henry and Grace that touches the heart and doesn't let go. --USA Today The author pulls no punches... emotionally engaging. --Kirkus Reviews Eloquently conveying the complexity of love and grief, debut novelist Sutherland creates a story filled with intriguing and memorable characters. --Publishers Weekly This much-buzzed-about debut captures the messy, awkward, all-consuming emotions of a teen's first love. --Entertainment Weekly, Fall Books Preview Emotionally complex, funny, filled with well-realized and diverse characters and realistic motivations, Sutherland's debut will stick with readers. --Booklist This magnificent debut from 26-year-old Australian author Krystal Sutherland tracks the unlikely romance of Henry Page and Grace Town, two very different teens chosen to edit their high school paper together...You could probably learn a thing or two from [Henry's] and Grace's emotional odyssey. --Teen Vogue, October's Best New YA Books This book delves far deeper than the typical high school romance, and its savvy wordplay and Henry's self-deprecating charm will win over fans of Stephen Chbosky's The Perks of Being a Wallflower and John Green's The Fault in Our Stars. --School Library Journal Henry is surrounded by well-drawn friends and family, and Grace is a fascinating cipher, in a book that's anything but a predictable romance. --B&N Teen, Most Anticipated October YA Books I'm sorry to have to do this to you, but the love story of Henry and Grace is going to kick you in the emotional gut. --Bustle, Best New YA Novels Coming in October Perhaps one of the most entertaining features of the novel is the irreverent and funny teen banter that masks their deeper feelings. Best of all, though, is the engaging story that unfolds at just the right pace, drawing the reader in as the stakes get higher and decisions must be made. --VOYA Henry's first language is clever, angst-driven wit, and this pair is as sharp and quippy as John Green's Hazel and Gus ... Fans of romance driven by stylized narration are the audience for this. --BCCB

Author Information

Krystal Sutherland was born and raised in Townsville, Australia, a place that has never experienced winter. Since then she's lived in Sydney, where she edited her university's student magazine; Amsterdam, where she worked as a foreign correspondent; and Hong Kong. She has no pets and no children, but is fond of naming inanimate objects: in the Netherlands she owned a Dutch bicycle called Kim Kardashian, and a small, inflatable velociraptor called Herbert. Our Chemical Hearts is her debut novel.
