Shelves: ebooks-bought-kindle, reviews

I just reread the book and it delighted me as much as it did the first time around.

Wish science projects were as good as this one while I was in school! I would have totally aced the subject. The concept of trying to break down the stages of heart break and use it as a science experiment is very unique and intrigued me enough to read the book. This was my first book by the author and I absolutely loved it. This was way back when the book was released. Now I have become a Kelly Oram veteran.

This was my first book by the author and I absolutely loved it. This was way back when the book was released. Now I have become a Kelly Oram veteran.

The story was equal parts heart breaking and hilarious. The way Avery struggles with her hurt and broken heart was very sad and Grayson's antics trying to get her back to normal is so fun and had me laughing softly through the parts. The scenes flowed so easily from one to the next. I was sucked in from the start and I didn't feel the time pass until I came out of the story induced coma at the end. Need I say I loved the Epilogue 2? I literally swooned!

When I first read it, I was expecting too much teen angst but it was beautifully done and I didn't feel irritated at any point in the book. And the characters are die for with their unique personalities. Avery is so naive while Grayson is full of mischief. But his soft heart can be seen at times. It's a good thing that the book is in both POVs else I would have gone mad trying to know what's in his head. And this also lead me to the theory that if Aiden had successfully balanced Avery and Mindy, then this love story wouldn't be and that would have been a shame. Because Avery and Grayson are made for each other and they are fighting their attraction even in the first chapter. The person who caught my full attention was Libby with her eccentricities. She rocks! and I can't wait to read her story.

I can go on talking about it and I would most probably spoil the story for others so I am concluding saying that it's a fun filled, fluffy, light and fast read about teenage antics and it's a good way to spend a few hours getting lost in the intensity of teenage feelings. This is for all YA lovers. No can resist this book!

My one line review : A light and fluffy fast read about teen love crafted in a creative manner.

My rating : 5/5

My reread factor : 4/5
