The Avery Shaw Experiment by Kelly Oram

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 LOVED this book!  *jumps up and down*

 I don't even know what to say....

....except that you should read it because it makes you feel all giddy inside after you're done! 

Okay, this would be an awful post if I just said you should read the book and use cute little onion heads to persuade you so here's a list in no specific order of character descriptions/why you should read this book/ what I liked about it/ and whatever else I feel like saying. 

1. Avery- the main character, the heart of the story, the girl who gets the guy, the...yeah I think you get the point. She's quirky, funny, insecure about herself (finally someone who's normal), and proud to be a science nerd. 

2. Grayson- hot, gorgeous, popular, protective and so sweet. He doesn't realize his feelings for Avery until she jumps into the shower with him (he's not shallow, I promise). Throughout the book, all he tries to do is get Avery to forget his jerk brother, Aiden. He's willing to introduce Avery to the popular seniors, join the science club, and hang out with the nerd group. This guy is willing to sacrifice anything to see Avery happy.

3. Aiden- Jerk, heartbreaker, enough said.

4. What drove me crazy was that Avery couldn't see how lucky she was to have Grayson!!! I wanted to  hit my head against the wall everytime she cried over Aiden in front of Grayson. JUST FORGET ABOUT AIDEN ALREADY GEEZ *exasperated*

5. I enjoyed reading both Grayson and Avery's point of views. I loved knowing both of their thoughts and emotions. 

6. All in all, this book was hilarious and heartwarming. The whole science experiment to cure a broken heart was very cute. Loved it!!
