Plot:
Avery Shaw has been best friends with Aiden since birth. She's also been in love with him ever since she could remember. But when her feelings are not reciprocated she decides to use her heartbreak as the topic for her science experiment. What she didn't plan on was falling for Aiden's brother Grayson in the process.
So what did I think? I thought it was so cute!!! I couldn't stop giggling like a school girl while I read this. My friends literally thought I was losing my mind because I kept laughing all by myself in the corner.
I loved Avery. She was smart, sassy and innocent. She wasn't overly whiny and she wasn't pathetic either so I definitely loved her. Her family was very close with Aiden's so it did complicate things when the big Fallout happened.
Between Aiden and Grayson... well it was a tie. Yes, Aiden was a selfish jerk but I still wanted him to be happy. After all, he was still Avery's best friend. He was confused with his feelings too, and he wanted to have it all. But Grayson was the redeemed Ladies' Man who loved Avery to bits and just melted my heart with his honesty and sincerity.
And then there was Libby and Owen. They were hilarious together. I definitely enjoyed their witty banter and of course, the photo booth scene!!!
All in all I thought it was a funny little romance story and I will re-read it for sure! Highly recommended to romance lovers.

A satisfying and refreshing book about teenage crushes and love and how to get over them . This book was not like the typically girl like popular guy book , it was funny and the plot if not a bit dramatic was realistic.

I loved this book so much. I loved Grayson and Avery, but mostly Grayson. Ugh so much love I love.
'The Avery Shaw Experiment' by Kelly Oram is a heartwarming and heartbreaking look at the ripple effects of a breakup (between friends) and the path to getting over it (especially when one person in the relationship thought it meant much more). It is an emotionally charged rollercoaster of steps in the scientific method to help support the theory that going through the seven stages of grief can help mend a broken heart.
When Avery Shaw is "dumped" by her best friend, Aiden Kennedy, so he can go off and be his own person apart from Avery, girlfriend and all, she is dumbstruck. She has always envisioned her life to go hand in hand with Aiden's, and when he tells her, in not so many words, that he doesn't want to be friends anymore, or at least not close friends, she is crushed. She's in love with him, after all. The fact that he doesn't see it is just a roadblock to their happy ending.
Swooping in to save the day and help Avery feel better about Aiden's sudden revelation and Avery's immediate heartbreak is Grayson, Aiden's older brother. Grayson is everything Aiden isn't, including exceedingly popular and amazingly attractive. Grayson and Avery are on opposite ends of the social spectrum, that is until Grayson takes Avery under his wing, partly because he's starting to fall for her after their first encounter with potential "like" on New Year's Eve when Aiden told her it's better that they don't hang out together anymore. In her haste to get away from Aiden, she jumped in the shower with Grayson. Being in the shower together when you haven't even been on a first date is no small potatoes. Even though it didn't happen just like it sounds, Grayson's had a hard time shaking thoughts of Avery out of his mind since that night, but Avery is still stuck on Aiden.
As the novel progresses, Avery and Grayson plot out the steps of a social experiment as a means of coming to terms and getting past what happened with Aiden. Their experiment sends them on dates, brings first kisses to the forefront, and earns many a jealous look from a variety of parties that hold a stake in the outcome of the experiment.
A thoroughly enjoyable and intoxicating read about what it takes to get past your first love and how something better just might be hanging around right under your nose, 'The Avery Shaw Experiment' is a highly recommended title. Oram's second novel in the series is due to come out in October 2015 - a follow-up about Avery's friend Libby and her infatuation/relationship with Grayson's best friend, Owen. Looking forward to checking that one out!

I almost wanted to give this book 4 Stars due to the writing style, it was a little 'juvenile' I guess you could say but I loved it too much to care. This book truly is the definition of a cute love story. If you want to smile and laugh through a book, this is the one for you! Highly recommend.
I alternated between loving it and being really annoyed by it. It felt a bit over the top, kind of how you want characters to be rather than how people are, if that makes sense. In the end it got four stars because despite the occasional ridiculous events, it was enjoyable.
