The Avery Shaw Experiment by Kelly Oram

5.0

Okay, so, yes, you have to seriously suspend your disbelief to enjoy this book. For example, pretend like you don't know that most of the museums in DC have free admission, so a season pass wouldn't be required. Squash down any discomfort you might have with heavily medicating a teenager for social anxiety and depression. Ignore the fact that the so-called experiment would likely get laughed out of the science fair. Then settle in to enjoy the ride.

And, those caveats aside, it's a glorious ride. Sweet and romantic and full of geeks winning out over tough odds. The setup is perfect --- a male-female version of the Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants --- and the execution is flawless. And I'd definitely read a sequel about the heroine's cat-obsessed best friend.
