The Avery Shaw Experiment (Science Squad, #1)
by
There really isn’t anything new about the story. It’s your typical YA romantic-comedy, definitely not free of flaws and tropes but fun and entertaining. I actually finished this in one sitting. It’s a super light read which I’m sure you will enjoy too if you wouldn’t take it too seriously. Lol!
Avery (your certified nerdy stereotype who is very pretty but is absolutely clueless about it and about almost everything else *rolls eyes*) is heartbroken and wants to process her broken heart in a “scientific” way. She is going to prove (through her science project) that the seven stages of grief will make her overcome her heartbreak. So here enters Grayson (your certified high school hottie who is impossibly perfect in every way except for his extremely agitated and raging hormones making him think and say perverted thoughts half of the time *rolls eyes*) to partner with her for said experiment.
If it were me, I’d keep it simple. I’d rather deal with heartbreak with any or a combination of the following:
or
or
Write an angry poem. You can check out one I wrote and posted on my review on Why We Broke Up. Just click the link if you want to read it. hehe
Nobody’s asking me though, so back to the story. The writing was really easy to read and there were a lot of LOL moments. Special thanks to Libby (a side character but my favorite). Just a preview of her genuine spunk.
“My intelligence is evolved far beyond fist bumps. However, as the action would involve getting to touch your godliness for however brief a moment, I will allow it.” (LMAO!)
I could already imagine the really fun movie version. Thanks to this book, reading slump was trampled on the ground even before it could make a strategic move on me. Lol!
Two or more things that might make you frown
1. Avery’s helplessness for the first 75% of the story.
2. Avery’s makeover.
3. Grayson being such a “guy”.
4. How the story at times read more like NA than YA
5. How I almost choked in cheese at Epilogue Part One! Bahahaha! (Good thing there’s Epilogue part 2 )
Don’t tell me you’ve been warned. Lol.

The gifs hahahaha. Great honest review, Aj! :)
I haven'tr experience a heartbreak(in a relationship), so I'm not sure but I think I would be a combination of 2 GIF, but still Fat amy FTW! hahaAnyway, I agree that if those typical YA romantic-comedy isn't taken seriously, we'll get to enjoy them. haha. Hilarious review Aj! :) <3
epilogue part 1 and 2??? hahaha I agree with writing an angry poem part and eating! hahaha Entertaining review Aj!
Sorry you didn't like it all that much. And you might want to stop with the eye rolls Aj, too much isn't good for the eyes. ^_^ Loved you're review too, and your choice of how to deal with a heartbreak Hahahaha.
Yeah I agree with you. And yes Libby was awesome! Are you going to read the sequel? It's about Libby. You could also try her other book series V is for Virgin. I've read part of it and it's much better than this book. Same goes for the sequel The Libby Garret Intervention. I'm glad to see that you liked it! Great review :)So cool we have the same rating :D
S: Lol! Glad you enjoyed it, my friend and I agree. These books are therapy. hehehe. <3Neil: Hahaha. Thank you so much, Neil (or bleed). I'll definitely pick "Neil". hehe
Donita: I'm not sure if I'd be happy for you or not, Donita. I'm happy because you haven't yet but I'm also not because I'm afraid at some point in your life, you definitely will experience it. It's like mandatory for us women. Lol. Awesome pick, btw. Lol. Thank you so much, my sweet friend. <3
Henz: Lol. Yes, Henzy because there are two POVs. I think you'll enjoy this one, girl. Smart choices! Lol. Thank you so much, sweetie. <3
Tamara: I didn't like certain things about the story but I had fun with it overall. It was enjoyable. I'll stop with the eye rolls (at least for this week). Lol! Thank you, sweetie. Yeah, I think they're far more practical. Lol.
Fatima: About Libby you say? Then I'm definitely going to read it. Thank you, Fatima and yeah, that's so cool! High five!^^
@Aj I know right! I'm probably going to read both of them next year. But I will be writing a review for both of them. You're welcome :)
LOL we pretty much had the exact same thoughts when I read this.
Lmao. Love this review - and you nailed the Gif :D
Very entertaining review, AJ dear. I never thought you would actually roll eyes because of a character. Hahaha! :D
Awesome review, Amazing Aj and I love those GIFs :p
How many reviews did you write today! :)) Amazing review as always hun, xx
Awesome review, ading AJ! I like your way of dealing with heartbreak! Great gifs!lol!
@Aj the Ravenous Reader:Hey Aj! I've commented on a few of your reviews before. I read your About Me intro and would love to be friends with you!
I assure you that I'm not a friend collector/lurker. I sent you a friend request
and I hope you will consider adding me to your lovely list of friends.^v^
Glad you enjoyed the book Sis! Love your review! :)
So entertaining and fun, Aj! Love your review and the oh-so-perfect gifs!! Your poem is incredible, and describes my relationship with my University/after University utterly narcissistic obsession...how could I have wasted all those years?...sometimes it takes experiencing the bad, to finally, discover the healthy and good. See what your amazing poem did?!? Made me remember! xxxx!
Haha, hilarious review Aj ^.^ I want to read this book and not read this book, all at the same time :P And I wish they HAD asked you, cause your ideas on dealing with heartbreak are way more legit. There is something to be said for light contemporary lit though. Sometimes, books that get read in a single sitting is just what a person needs. Instead of some dense story fraught with complications. So, I might give this a shot after all, who knows. Great review pal :)
Fatima: Yay for the both of us. Lol!Tammy: hahahaha
Marla: Lol! High five, Marla babes! <3
Alienor/Anna: Lol! Glad you enjoyed this, Anna. Thank you so much. <3
Pearl: Thank you so much, Pearly. I roll my eyes a lot even at annoying non-fiction people (when they're not looking). Ssshhh. It's our little secret. Bahahaha
Masooma: LoL! Thank you so much, most amazing Masooma. <3
Ana: I posted three, hun, my maximum number of posts in a week. Lol.
Ate Jilly: Lol! Thank you so much, Ate Jilly! I'm glad you approve of my ways. Hehe
Yuna: Thank you so much. Glad to know you're not a lurker (cause I believe that's my title..lol! kidding!).
Tob: Thank you so much, sweetie. Glad you enjoyed it. <3
Kuya Alejandro: Thank you so much, Kuya! <3
Nicay: I did, sis! Thank you so much. <3
Ate Tabetha: Lol! Glad you had fun, Ate and thank you for your kind words about my poem. Glad it seemed insightful because it made you remember. hehe. <3
Fai: Lol! Thank you so much, Fai. I felt like that too before reading this. I both wanted to and not wanted to read this because I already knew this would be predictable and cliched but I remembered it's these books that usually entertain me and get me out of reading slumps so I gave it a shot. I didn't regret and yes, I completely agree with you about books like this being what we need sometimes/often so I support your decision to give this a shot too. hehe. Also, glad you think my ideas are legit! My favorite is the second gif. Lol!
Loved your review Aj!!<3 And I also love Kelly Oram,cheesy doesn't bother me lol!
@Katerina Kelly Oram is fabulous :DD
What a fun review, Aj! I enjoyed everything especially the poem! ^_^
Kat: Thank you, Kat! And yes, I know you're addicted to cheese so I'm sure you'll enjoy this!heheAlafiya: Thank you, my awesome little twin sister. hehe <3
S: Lol, yeah. She is!^^
Dex: Glad you had fun, Dex and thank you very much. <3
Hahahaha! Another enjoyable,awesome read dear sis! My tummy's hurting now,esp on the gifs!lol! You remind me of ate Jilly a lot here,hahaha!^^
LMAO! Laughing with Ate Rachel, Aj! Fab review, Aj! Thanks for the entertainment and yes, I have read the poem before but read it again and still love it! I'm definitely reading this. Lol!
Ate Rachel: What an honor to be compared to Ate Jilly! hehehe. Thank you so much, beautiful big sister! <3Sarah: Lol! Thank you much, Sarah. You're a true, loyal friend. I'm sure you'll enjoy this! <3

Thank you so much, Deanna. <3
Oh gosh! That Rebel Wilson gif is soooo me, ha ha ha.. I love your review Aj, I might want to read this sometime soon after all the heavy drama and suspense I've been reading lately. Thanks!!
Pam: Thank you so much, Pam <3Ate Claire: Hahaha. It's soooo me too, Ate! I'm glad you enjoyed the review and I look forward to your review on this one. Thank you. <3
Thank you so much, Sweetie Pinky! <3
With the reading slump thing though, it's totally true!
If I read a book that nearly makes me lose faith in books (it was that bad) then I just read one or two of these cutsies ;)
