I loved, loved, loved The Avery Shaw Experiment! It was so fun and had me smiling from ear to ear after every page, I swear. Honestly speaking, I wasn't really expecting much when I started this. But I'm so glad I picked it up. It's definitely one of my favorites!
divertida. original. tierna. una buena historia de amor ;)
Hmmm... Interesting read. I did get irritated at Avery, but couldn't help but fall in love with Grayson, he totally deserved better and i was routing for him the whole way through.

Meeting the Characters
Avery Shaw
Grayson Kennedy
Aidan Kennedy
Libby
Owen
----------------------------------
What happens?
Avery has been best friends with Aidan since they were in the womb. Grayson is his older brother who has only looked at Avery as his younger not-so sister. However when Aidan breaks Avery's heart by telling her he needs space and he has a girlfriend she freaks out and ends up in the shower with a very naked Grayson who is suddenly seeing her as not a sister and as a potential girl.
Grayson decides he needs to help Avery get over him and the perfect opportunity to do this happens when he is failing science and the suggestion to help him pass is to help Avery with the Science club and Science fair.
Final thoughts
I enjoyed this. I wasn't sure I was going to because its for a younger audience so if you're over 18 this isn't going to be perfect for you but this is a good read. I thought Grayson was so sweet and Aiden was like every boy in his teenage years being stupid for a girl. I thought it was sweet and I liked the outcome. I wouldn't necessarily read this again because I'm out growing mentally YA so this is just too young for me but its a feel good read. The teenage angst is rampant and I did cringe at Libby but I don't hate that I've finally read this.
Would I read again?: Probably not
Would I read this author again?: Yes

I finished this year reading challenge, so I thought about reading my favorite books again, and I started with this one I LOVE IT, and I'm sure I'll read it again and again i'm addicted like that :D :D

This is my second read for "Kelly Oram's" novels, and she's definitely one of my favorite "YA" Authors now. I absolutely loved this one :)
Oh,and I'm sure I'm going to read this again isA ^_^

I saw this when I was looking for my next YA contemp read but I didn't buy it despite it sounding like something right up my alley--3 bucks for an e-book written by a new-to-me author? I thought it was too expensive to give it a chance. But I kept coming back to it so I finally gave in and read it. I'm crossing my fingers it doesn't disappoint.

It was just okay. It was a quick, easy, fun read a lot of stuff didn't work for me.
Grayson's character was too good to be true and too lovestruck silly in my opinion. And Avery? She basically blushed and cried the entire book and was too much of a wide-eyed, innocent type. It was too much.
Also, the entire book was around their science experiment/case study. Avery was trying to prove that a person goes through the seven stages of grief to get over a heartbreak with herself as the test subject and Grayson as the supposed “objective outside observer.” Umm... yeah. It's not good science and I didn't buy it. It's too subjective, there's no control subject and I'm sure you need more than one test subject for the results to be valid.
If you're looking for cute, mindless fluff, then this book is for you but it required much suspension of disbelief for me.

Definitely not a favorite anymore. I've read quite a few books since 2013 and have a better understanding of what I think constitutes a good book (in my own opinion completely)
This one was a little cringe-worthy but still a lot of fun. It's always nice to have a more light-hearted read.
I also really love when romance novels have a portion or chapters in the opposite perspective because I love knowing when they end up falling for the other person too.

I'm going to get to the point: It was too cliché. The other ideas like of the project were innovative a and the writing was great. The pace was also just right and, overall- ignoring the stereotypes, it was almost pretty good.
But WHAT THE HECK was with the shower?!?!
Is it just me or does someone else find this weird?
It's crazy and irritating that the author didn't care to REALLY explain it.
