description: 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.
