Chemical Hearts (Amazon Prime Video)

Chemical Hearts is a coming of age story involving a hopeless romantic and a young woman with a mysterious past.Seventeen-year-old Henry Page (Austin Abrams) has never been in love. He fancies himself a romantic, but the once in a lifetime kind of love that he’s been hoping for just hasn’t been in the cards for him — at least not yet. Then, on the first day of senior year, he meets transfer student Grace Town (Lili Reinhart) and knows everything’s about to change. The opposite of ordinary, Grace walks with a cane, wears oversized boys’ clothes, and spends her free time at an abandoned factory. There is obviously something broken about her and Henry wants to help her put the pieces back together. When Grace and Henry are both chosen to edit the school paper, Henry is immediately drawn to her and wants to uncover the mystery of her past. As Henry peels back Grace’s many mysterious layers, he finds himself falling in love with her, or at least with who he thinks she is.
