A review by michellesantiago
The Avery Shaw Experiment by Kelly Oram
2.0
I saw this when I was looking for my next YA contemp read but I didn't buy it despite it sounding like something right up my alley--3 bucks for an e-book written by a new-to-me author? I thought it was too expensive to give it a chance. But I kept coming back to it so I finally gave in and read it. I'm crossing my fingers it doesn't disappoint.

It was just okay. It was a quick, easy, fun read a lot of stuff didn't work for me.
Grayson's character was too good to be true and too lovestruck silly in my opinion. And Avery? She basically blushed and cried the entire book and was too much of a wide-eyed, innocent type. It was too much.
Also, the entire book was around their science experiment/case study. Avery was trying to prove that a person goes through the seven stages of grief to get over a heartbreak with herself as the test subject and Grayson as the supposed “objective outside observer.” Umm... yeah. It's not good science and I didn't buy it. It's too subjective, there's no control subject and I'm sure you need more than one test subject for the results to be valid.
If you're looking for cute, mindless fluff, then this book is for you but it required much suspension of disbelief for me.
