Norah Una Sumner's Reviews > The Avery Shaw Experiment

3.5 stars



Sweet and funny story but I'm giving it 3.5 stars because I didn't particularly like the main character and her naivety - seems like the only things she knows how to do is blush. The whole experiment of curing a broken heart is definitely an original and interesting aspect of this book and I loved reading about Avery overcoming her fears, no matter how (sometimes) childish they were. Aiden... I don't even know what to say about this guy. He tries to justify his actions but I still didn't believe nor trust him. You can't just go around and act like a jerk and expect everyone to forgive you later. It made me feel weird that Avery had the need to (view spoiler)[ kiss him just to finally make sure she's over him. It was just plain weird and unnecessary. (hide spoiler)].Grayson is a whole different story. Yes,yes,I know that the whole "jock-who-is-actually-a-nice-guy-and-is-just-waiting-for-the-right-girl" aspect is not so unique but I loved how his character was portrayed in this book. He made me laugh out loud and he's the character I connected with the most. Supporting characters were pretty cool - their moms-besties, Libby-the-Queen etc. So,overall,I enjoyed reading this feel-good contemporary romance.
