4.5 stars. This was a very quick read for me. I loved it. So sweet and so funny. Grayson is great and swoony. Avery is a great character. Libby is so very funny. If your looking for fluffy this is your book.
Probably more like 3.5 stars, but I'll round up. This was a cute, fun story. I liked the science experiment aspect and how it switched viewpoints between the two main characters. My biggest complaint is that there is more content (language/innuendo) than I like, so this isn't one I'll pass on to my girls for a while.
This was a very entertaining and funny book. I found myself laughing quite a few times, and the romance between Grayson and Avery was incredibly cute. I also loved the whole idea of the science experiment about the stages of heartbreak despite the fact that it seemed a bit far fetched to me, but this book is supposed to be humorous and isn't meant to be taken that seriously. I was also happy that the book was written from the perspective of both Grayson and Avery, and let me tell you, being in Grayson's head was hilarious.
One thing I didn't like was the way Avery's friend Libby (at least I think that's her name) was portrayed. At first she seemed to be the snarky but kind best friend, and I liked the tension between her and Grayson's best friend Oliver. However as the book went on, Libby's character became worse since she ended up turning into a boy crazy weirdo that was only sometimes funny, and acted like a cougar around Oliver. My description of her may seem weird but if you read the book, you'll get what I'm trying to say. I mean, confidence around those who seem more popular and powerful is nice, but Libby's interactions with Oliver were done in bad taste. Another pet peeve I have is the fact that
Note: there is some mild swearing/innuendo, but it's not a lot in the book.

in the end, Grayson and his brother never become close because of what happened with Avery. I personally hate the fact that the book had to end like that, because it seems like it's promoting the fact that a fight over a girl is a good reason to end a sibling relationship. That seems irrational, and I hate that it wasn't resolvedNote: there is some mild swearing/innuendo, but it's not a lot in the book.

I just reread this, december 2015, because I want to read the sequel that just came out. I maintain my 3 star rating. its cute, not great writing, but some fun characters and situations.
Avery's heart had been broken by her best friend,and by being a nerd with the Science Fair coming soon what way is better than scientifically. with her help of her best friend's hot jock brother,what's gonna happen?
Well the main character annoyed the hell out of me at the beginning,I love strong female characters,and get annoyed very quickly with weak willed ones but in the end the main character showed improvement.
The main male character was so adorable,swoon worthy,although a little too horny at times,he was the perfect male character!
If you are looking for sweet, funny young adult books you must read this!
