i can't rate this book properly because everything about it is ridiculous, from the characters to the premise and the writing (especially the writing), and YET i managed to read every page and i found myself strangely enjoying it. or at least enjoying how not good it was??? like objectively this is a 1 based on quality of writing but i had so much fun laughing at it that if i rated this based on enjoyment factor alone it would probably be a 2.5.
3.5 stars. Shorter than I expected, read this in a couple of hours. Enjoyed it for a light & fluffy read.
Avery Shaw has had her heart shattered by her best friend. They have shared everything, including their birthday. After he tells her that he wants to try and have a life without her she devises an experiment to cure her broken heart and convinces his older brother to help. The Avery Shaw Experiment is a fun romantic comedy that was a pleasure to read.
Wow! Just wow!
I was really perplexed about the concept, but Kelly Oram really nailed it!
I am not really into high school romance, but I chose it for the smart female lead and the shortness of the story, to help out with my reading challenge. I was ready to shelve it as dnf and instead it totally hooked me! I had to know what Avery and Grayson would have been up to, next!
The Avery Shaw experiment tells the story of how Avery got through her heartbreak, following her best friend’s Aiden rejection. Grayson, Aiden’s brother, 14 months their senior, ends up getting caught in the fallout and cannot help but stick around the help Avery work through her 7 stages of grief. With the added bonus of recovering from some terrible scores in physics and spending time with Avery, whom he is starting to see with different eyes, not anymore like his little brother’s shy best friend.
This book was a page turner for me. I was so curious about how Avery and Grayson would have interacted next.
There was a lot of damsel in distress, which I hardly find well written (either the lady seems too fragile or the gentleman seems too bossy), but in this case it totally worked for me and it made both of them quite adorable!
I loved how they mixed high school squads: the popular and the geeks, every once in a while.
The ending was a bit too movie-style for my liking: I could really picture them, superbly described as usual, though it felt a bit overdone.
What a nice surprise! I didn’t know Kelly Oram and now I can’t wait to read all of her books!

When Avery Shaw’s heart is shattered by her life-long best friend, she chooses to deal with it the only way she knows how—scientifically.
The state science fair is coming up and Avery decides to use her broken heart as the topic of her experiment. She’s going to find the cure. By forcing herself to experience the seven stages of grief through a series of social tests, she believes she will be able to get over Aiden Kennedy and make herself ready to love again. But she can’t do this experiment alone, and her partner (ex partner!) is the one who broke her heart.
Avery finds the solution to her troubles in the form of Aiden’s older brother Grayson. The gorgeous womanizer is about to be kicked off the school basketball team for failing physics. He’s in need of a good tutor and some serious extra credit. But when Avery recruits the lovable Grayson to be her “objective outside observer,” she gets a whole lot more than she bargained for, because Grayson has a theory of his own: Avery doesn’t need to grieve. She needs to live. And if there’s one thing Grayson Kennedy is good at, it’s living life to the fullest.
I found this book to be a cute, short read. I enjoyed it, but it wasn't an absolute favorite. Although, I think this book would definitely appeal to the younger teen crowd. Avery could definitely be seen as inspirational in some ways. One thing that bugged me, though, is that these two people were best friends for years(Avery and Aiden) and then all of a sudden Aiden decides that he now not only doesn't want to be science partners but wants to cut Avery completely off from his life. There really wasn't any building up to it. Despite that one bothersome detail I really did enjoy the book as a whole, especially the science fair. I would read more from the author.

I enjoyed the heck out of this book it was light-hearted but also had the emotional stuff I am coming to really enjoy from Kelly.
I am not always a fan of YA because there is usually unnecessary dramalama but the way she writes her YA she gives us the real and the drama but in a real way.
This was a sweet book of lost love and finding love. I felt for all the characters and I was happy with the way it ended.
Off to the next book in the Science Squad.
The narration was perfect for this book. Sarah has the perfect voice for a teen/young adult and Teddy well he is Teddy and his voice I adore.
