Si pudiese darle más de 5 estrellas, lo haría sin dudarlo. ¡¡El libro es perfecto!! Grayson❤ 100000000% recomendable! :D
This was utterly adorable. Also amazing to see a teen book covering issues like depression. Even if only briefly. #teamgrayson
"Das Avery Shaw Experiment" ist der erste Band der "Science Squad" Reihe von Autorin Kelly Oram. Da ich "Underworld Chronicles" toll fand, habe ich beschlossen, auch einmal in die Jugendromane der Autorin reinzuhören.
Ich lese selten Jugendbücher, bin hier aber wirklich positiv überrascht! Der Schreibstil ist wie bei den Büchern von Jackie May locker und fesselnd. Obwohl das Buch teilweise auch ein wenig kitschig ist, fand ich es einfach nur toll. Die Geschichte hat mich richtig gut unterhalten und auch öfter zum Lachen gebracht. Ich habe sie beinahe in einem Rutsch verschlungen. Von mir gibt es daher 5 Sterne und eine klare Leseempfehlung!
Hier folgen noch einige Infos zum Hörbuch:
6 Stunden / Ungekürzte Ausgabe / Bookbeat exklusiv
Sprecher: Chantal Busse & Michael Borgard
Die Sprecher bekommen 5 Sterne von mir.
Verlag: Lübbe Audio

Avery Shaw's heart just got broken. Her best friend, true love, and every other hormonal description she could come up with has decided he needs space. Of course Aiden doesn't know that Avery loves him in a bigger way then friends but she figures that will come with time. Grayson, Aiden's brother though sees the big picture and decides he is going to help Avery overcome her heartbreak. Avery decides this is the perfect opportunity to use her stages of heartbreak as a science experiment. Grayson doesn't expect to fall for Avery, Avery certainly never thought she would be looking at Grayson as anything other then Aiden's older brother. All in all this looks like a bumpy ride.
This was so much fun. I loved Avery, she is a very within the lines type person where Grayson is a very outside the lines person. I laughed quite bit in this book, absolutely wonderful.

This was an adorably cute clean YA about a nerd and a jock. High school is hard and it's made even harder when the boy you love rejects you. But Avery Shaw rallies and plays to her strength by turning her heart break into a science experiment by using the stages of grief. Helping her is the delectable, charming, witty and sweetest guy ever, Grayson Kennedy. Who also happens to be the older brother of the boy who broke her heart. It was just a all kinds of cute and I'll be sure to read the other books in the series.
This is a very quick, enjoyable read. Perfect weekend book. It's light, funny and romantic. May be a tad irritating for older reads though. But they are teens, of course, they don't know how to deal with their emotions.
This book is so sweet, it's like literary cotton candy. Light and fluffy and enjoyable, though possibly not too good for you in large doses.
Avery and Aiden have grown up together - almost-twins by virtue of their mothers' close relationships and the fact that they were born on the same day. They're best friends, they do everything togther, they even celebrate their birthdays together. Then suddenly Aiden breaks Avery's heart... He thinks they should stop spending so much time together.
What's a science girl to do? Conduct an experiment to get over it all, clearly.
Problem: One broken heart.
Hypothesis: Conducting an experiment about the stages of grief will help her to get over Aiden.
Materials: Aiden's older gorgeous brother, Grayson.
Results: ... come on now, spoilers!
This book got off to a bit of a rough start with me, mostly because the first few pages had a couple of situations that I found unbelievable. I really hate it when authors use panic or anger to have characters do things that I just don't believe match up with their personalities.
I also don't like it when authors make characters sound older and more mature than they are. For example:
'She translates those feelings of security into being in love with him because it's easier than seeing them for what they really are - a crutch she uses to cope with her shyness and social anxiety issues.'
This just really rubbed me the wrong way. It doesn't sound like something that a teenager would say, especially not one who is more into sports and serial dating than writing up thoughtful analysis of his little brother's best friend. Idk, maybe I'm not being very generous, but it just didn't seem realistic.
HOWEVER. The book turned itself around for me and turned out to be really cute and surprisingly realistic. A bit cliche, but I can deal with that if the writing is engaging enough, and this book was definitely engaging. Grayson is adorable and a pretty sweet guy beneath what he pretends to be, and that's where the dual pov for this book really worked - we got to see inside his head and learn what he was thinking. I appreciated that because so often it's always from the woman's perspective, and it's hard to know when he's being legit and when he just wants to get into her pants. This is especially important when we're dealing with a character as hot and charming as Grayson!
I would have liked a little bit more detail about the friends in the background - especially Owen and Libby. I'm still not quite sure I buy their portrayal, and we didn't really get much of a chance to see Grayson and Avery interact with their friends. It was very much a romance novel in that sense, and it's a pity because I always find that romance novels suffer when they focus only on the couple and not on their friends or their other relationships.
I would have liked to see a bit more into Avery's relationship with Aiden, too. I actually got to see more about why she and Grayson were friends than why she was friends with Aiden, which is funny because he's the character that pretty much sets off everything in the book.
Despite these problems, though, I enjoyed this book. It made me smile more than once, and I enjoyed being taken back to highschool, with all the little social interactions, the worry about grades, the drama, the relationships that come and go in a flash. Grayson and Avery are adorable together and as they both changed each other for the better throughout the course of the novel, it made me smile - no wonder I was rooting for the two of them by the end of the book. What more can you ask for in a romance?
