Avery has had her heart broken by her best friend, Aiden. She's been in love with him for years, but when he decides that the two of them need some space, she confesses her love to him, only to have him tell her that he doesn't feel the same way.
Aiden and Avery have been partners in the science fair each year, so this time around, Avery has to go it alone in coming up with a project and finding a parter. Unknowingly to him, Aiden's actions give Avery an idea. In order to get over her broken heart, she recruits Aiden's brother, Grayson, to help her with an experiment in which she aims to prove that the seven stages of grief can cure a broken heart.
Whilst Avery thinks that everything Grayson is doing is in the name of science, much to his own surprise, he's actually starting to fall for her. Throughout the course of the book, he tries to help Avery get her life back on track after Aiden's dismissal, both learning a lot about themselves and each other in the process.
This book was an incredibly fun read. From the moment Avery accidentally ended up in the shower with Grayson, I knew it was going to be a wild tale, and I wasn't wrong. With a fantastic bunch of characters and a plot that never stops delivering, this made for an entertaining and heart-warming read.
As someone who generally doesn't favour split-narrative stories, this book wouldn't have worked without Grayson's hilarious perspective on the events that occur. The stark contrast between him and Avery was brilliant and I utterly enjoyed the huge difference in narration from each of them. I found myself laughing so much during Grayson's chapters that I was glad I wasn't reading it on public transport at the time!
Avery's innocence and constant blushing could have ended up slightly annoying if it wasn't so well written, but because Grayson finds it so adorable, and the way it endears her to him, makes the reader see it through his eyes and appreciate the way he sees her.
Avery herself is a great character and I adored her development throughout the story. At first, I almost wanted to shake her by the shoulders and tell her to get over Aiden myself, but I love how she learns and grows stronger as the book goes on.
The supporting characters are all wildly entertaining. I dare you not to love Avery's friend Libby, the cats-on-clothes wearing science geek who tells it like it is. I was thrilled to find out that Kelly Oram's next book is a follow on from this story, but about Libby. I cannot wait to see more of her.
Also, I can't tell you enough how much I loved the breaking of stereotypes when it came to the popular characters in the story. Usually, the queen bees of the school are bitchy and generally not nice, but Pam and Chloe welcome Avery, a member of the science club, into their world with open arms, offering to help her. That's not something you see very much in contemporary YA!
I completely enjoyed this book and all it's fun-filled stages. Avery and Grayson's relationship was sweet and believable, as was her journey to accepting Aiden as a best friend rather than the love of her life. This is a book that definitely left me smiling, and I can't wait for the follow-up story, The Libby Garrett Intervention!

Das Buch hatte so viele Elemente von dem Film Kissing Booth und ich habe es geliebt.
Von Grayson will ich erst gar nicht anfangen.
5/5⭐️

The Avery Shaw Experiment was a fun, quick read.
The one thing I thought about after reading the book was how I feel like we didn't actually know what Avery is like as a person. She was suffering all these different emotions that she wasn't used of so I think we only saw an Avery who was changing.
I don't think anyone could hate Grayson, bless his cute little cotton socks.

This short, sweet read was just what I wanted. Grayson did not behave how I expected him to which was really refreshing. I enjoyed the plot and the idea of a scientific experiment of going through the stages of grief. Some parts seemed a little predictable but it was overall a very nice read.
terminé enamorada de Grayson, ahh como amo el cliché del mujeriego hasta que llega la mujer correcta. necesitaba leer un romance ligero ya
You need to read this!! It's very cute and you fall in love with all the people she wrote about! Plus, it's very funny and I could't stop laughing!! ^_^
very cute story, not really original and kinda predictable but still a fun read :D
Fucking love it. i'm afraid that I'm loving contemporaries what is wrong with me. booktalk on the way on leblog.
I frickin' adored this book, like I always adore Miss Orams work.
