It's really sweet. Candy sweet. Quite fun but in the end too sweet for me. I picked it for an easy, light and fun read which it is but I'm just too old for this 😝

Avery Shaw is dealing with a broken heart in the only way she knows how – through science. With the help of the brother of the guy that broke her heart, Grayson, she will go through the seven stages of grief to prove if it applies to a broken heart and can get her over it. Little does she know that Grayson has another experiment in mind – winning her heart.
Once again, this book is another great one by Kelly Oram. So far she has not disappointed me with any of her books. Like all the rest I’ve read by her, I could not put this one down. Sure, it was a bit shorter than her other books (and I would have loved it to last even longer), but it was really good.
I absolutely loved reading the chapters from Grayson’s point of view. He’s definitely a guy, though, so his mind wasn’t quite ever out of the gutter, but he was funny and really cared about Avery. Underneath the playboy exterior, he had a heart of gold.
I did enjoy Avery, but sometimes I almost just wished it was Grayson’s point of view again. Don’t get me wrong, I definitely enjoyed her sections, but they just weren’t Grayson’s. I also really like that Kelly Oram didn’t create her perfect like so many authors tend to do. Avery has social anxiety and I think Kelly did an excellent job representing it and allowing Avery to move past it.
Libby was also a great character. She had no filter and I couldn’t help but laugh at everything she said. I can’t wait till the next book, so we can get to know her even more.
The ending was great, especially Grayson’s extra Epilogue, which really made me happy and satisfied with the book. Even though it will soon be part of a series, there was no cliff-hanger ending to drive you mad.
I really recommend this book to anyone who’s a fan of the fun, lighthearted teen dramas/romance. I can’t wait to read more of Kelly Oram’s books, she’s easily becoming one of my favorite authors.

Perfect cheesy feel good read. It was super easy and quick to get through so a great book to get yourself out of a book hangover or reading slump! Loved it!

Avery Shaw is a science nerd. Her most recent experiment, to rid herself of a broken heart by going through the 7 stages of grief. Her lab partner, the hunky older brother of her former best friend and the boy who broke her heart.
Avery’s world falls apart when her best friend since birth Aiden, who she has grown up doing EVERYTHING with, decides that he wants to spend time apart and with other people. Shocked and heartbroken, since Avery is convinced their friendship would develop into more, she decides the best way to get over him is to document it scientifically through the 7 stages of grief. Enter Aiden’s older brother, Grayson. A notorious player and womanizer who takes Avery under his wing and makes it his mission to help her get over his geeky little brother. But things start to get interesting when Grayson finds himself falling for the adorably naïve and nerdy Avery.
- Kelly Oram (The Avery Shaw Experiment)
This book is much more than I expected. Yes its light, yes it’s fluffy, yes the main male protagonist makes me swoony. But this book has heart as well and actually has a story more complex than boy meets girl and falls into insta-love.
Throughout the book Avery is convinced she’s meant to be with Aiden despite the fact she’s heartbroken and he no longer wants to spend time with her. She looks to Grayson as like an older brother who has always kind of been around and loves to annoy her. Then when Avery is left in the lurch for her science fair project Grayson steps up to help out, while Avery in return helps raise his Physics from a failing grade. But along the way of their mutually beneficial relationship, something magical happens, and Grayson starts to see Avery as more than his little brothers best friend. Although, whether Avery will return those feelings is a mystery.
Of course, as Avery travels through those stages, particularly Anger and Depression stuff gets real and without a doubt you know that once Aiden realises he’s made a big mistake there’s going to be a showdown between the siblings.
Grayson is an easily likeable character. At the start he is played out to be his sweaty, horny jock who’s a big flirt. But after seeing Avery so distraught over his brother his sweet and protective instincts for her emerge and he is constantly looking out for her. The moment he sees her as more than just his little brothers best friend is utterly adorable.

Avery is also not your typical main protagonist. She’s smart, into science and suffers from anxiety. She manages to go through all 7 stages of the grief process with hilarity and realistic emotions that any teenager/ young adult can relate to.
Things I loved about the book:
Despite being cutesy and a little corny at times. it was highly addictive and the characters were hilarious.
The human and realistic characters that were easy to relate to.
The whole boy falls in love with his little brothers best friend thing just totally gets me every time.
Things I didn't like about the book:
The cover looks kind of childish, and really didn't sell me on the book to begin with, but all the great reviews encouraged me to give it a go.

"I think I need a little space for a while."
For just a brief moment, time stopped...like a heart that had skipped a beat. When it started back up, my life had been forever altered'

"I was scared for her, which was kind of a new feeling for me because I never really pay that much attention to anyone. Aves was just so destroyed after New Years that I couldn't help myself. I was either stepping up my role of overprotective big brother, or I'd developed an impossible crush. "

2.5 STARS
okay so I finished this in like, what, 3 hours ????
more or less.
This book is cute but its too unrealistic for my own liking ? I mean, there are quite a few scene that are really really cute but thats it. Its just that ive read a super lots of books that involved an insanely good looking guy whos insanely famous in school and none of them is like Grayson. Hes just too nice and it seems unreal for a famous highschool playboy, u get me ?

La historia me gusto, Avery me parecio un poco irritante en algunos momentos pero bueno también entiendo que para ella no era facil y en cierto modo tenia un problema pero nunca me han gustado los personajes debiles y en este caso Avery lloraba muy seguido y mucho para mi gusto.
Grayson me gusto mucho, era un personaje con mucho estilo y me gustaba la forma en la que contaba las cosas y como actuaba en cada situación.
También estaba el otro hermano Aiden el me gusto y la verdad es que nunca me senti enojada con el por lo que le hizo a Avery, creo que porque el personaje en si me gusto pero lo sentia incompleto, como que de alguna manera me hubiera gustado conocer un poco mas de lo que el pensaba y como es que las cosas fueron para el.
Bueno ya para no hablar tanto, pues la verdad es que la historia me gustó mucho y logro con mi objetivo que era distraerme un rato y leer una historia que fuera sencilla sin todo esto de lo sobrenatural o con un tema muy pesado y sin dudas este libro lo logro porque la historia entretiene y gusta, haciendote pasar un buen rato de lectura.
Sin duda otra historia de Kelly Oram que me deja una buena impresión.

I loved this story.
It was quite a short read and I read it in one sitting, mainly because I was enjoying it so much I just couldn't put it down.
I think if it had just been from Avery's POV I wouldn't have enjoyed it as much cause she is very down in the dumps for a lot of the book, and understandably so, she had her heart stabbed, crushed, stamped on & then handed back to her!
But praise the lord because we had the AWESOME Grayson Kennedy and his funny, cocky & adorable POV to lighten the mood. He gets 2 whole stars to himself.
Aiden was a complete & total
Even the side characters like Libby & Owen (I would love them to get their own story) were so well developed and in such a short tale this is quite a feat!
I am really looking forward to reading more by this author & really hope they live up to this book.

I became soo additcted to this book i finished it in just a few hours. Unfortunately it was 4.30am on a work night when i finished it, so i didnt get much sleep last night, but it was soo worth it!
The book is written in a the style or a science experiment/journal with chapters from both Avery's and Grayson's POV. From the very first page it had me smilling and soon i was laughing out loud. Grayson is such a sweetheart to Avery and the interaction between the two is just written perfectly.
This is a really sweet story, written in a slightly different way that will leave you with a permanent smile and feeling happy. :)
