Lili Reinhart is becoming something of a big star of late. Quickly rising to prominence through the ongoing CW show “Riverdale” and through her amusing supporting role in Lorene Scafaria’s critically acclaimed 2019 film “Hustlers”, the actress now leads the coming of age romance “Chemical Hearts”, set to release on Amazon Prime Video next month. Coming from Richard Tanne, the writer and director of 2016’s “Southside with You,” this latest effort seems determined to break some hearts. See the synopsis of the film below:

Chemical Hearts is an unapologetic, 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 kind of once-in-a-lifetime love he’s been hoping for just hasn’t happened yet. Then, on the first day of senior year, he meets transfer student Grace Town (Lili Reinhart) and it seems all that is about to change. When Grace and Henry are chosen to co-edit the school paper, he is immediately drawn to the mysterious newcomer. As he learns the heartbreaking secret that has changed her life, he finds himself falling in love with her —or at least the person he thinks she is. Based on the novel by Krystal Sutherland, Chemical Hearts is a journey of self-discovery that captures the thrills, disappointments, and confusion of being a teenager.
